“I can see!” Helimong exclaimed post-surgery exemplifying the profound impact of an eye camp held in Tuensang district last November. A 45-year-old resident from Sangphur village under Shamator district, Helimong was blind in both eyes for several years.
Helimong had expressed his desire to see again before undergoing the life-changing medical procedure at the annual eye surgery camp organised by the Eleutheros Christian Society (#ECS), in partnership with Medical Mission International, Mercy Eye Center, Dimapur, and the National Health Mission at Longpang Primary Health Centre (PHC), Tuensang district from November 20 to 29.
The transformative initiative, supported by Azim Premji Foundation and local #churches, aimed to deliver essential eye care services to the rural poor in the area.
