population of over 13 million people living in the Districts of Bahawalpur, Dera Gazi Khan,
Khanewal, Muzaffargarh, Rajanpur & Multan. These are one of the most under developed
areas of Pakistan and lack provision of basic necessities of life. More than 2/3rds of the
population of these areas live around the poverty line barely subsisting and have no money
to pay for their health care needs. One of the major health issues of people of this area is
Blindness which makes the afflicted person a dependant and a burden on their family who
are already on the margin of existence. The sad part of it is that 80% of the blindness is
curable and can be cured through a simple operation costing $ 25.
