WITH THE SUPPORT OF THE ORANGE FOUNDATION THE ARMENIAN EYECARE PROJECT LAUNCHES THE FREE EYE SCREENING AND TREATMENT PROGRAM IN LORI
The joint program of the Orange Foundation and the Armenian EyeCare
Project "Bringing Sight to Armenian Eyes" is underway. After completing
their mission in Kotayk and Tavush regions, the medical teams have
moved to Lori in July and August to provide free eye screening and
treatment to local population. Moreover, socially vulnerable groups
will be provided the possibility to undergo free surgery and get free
eye glasses. It is planned to examine over 4,000 people, hold around
300 surgeries and provide 1,700 eye glasses in Lori.
On July 8-13 the ophthalmologists of the Armenian EyeCare Project
will be in Tumanyan, on July 15-22 - in Gugark and on July 24-27 - in
Tashir. On July 29-August 2 they will be in Stepanavan and on August
5-14 - in Spitak. The Mobile Eye Hospital will stop in Alaverdi,
Vanadzor, Stepanavan and Spitak. "
For more details, the residents of Lori will need to apply to the
local health center and follow the announcements posted there. They
may also get information from AECP office by calling 010 55 90 68 or
downloading the full schedule from http://goo.gl/egDMM.
"At the end of this year we'll record that during 10 years 5 complete
tours have been made to the regions of Armenia in the scope of the
program "Bringing Sight to Armenian Eyes". The Orange Foundation
joined us in 2011 and we see that the slogan "Bringing Sight to
Armenian Eyes" is already associated with the Orange Foundation
as well, since with its support to the activities of the Armenian
EyeCare Project during these years, the Foundation has become part of
the initiative to make eye care services available to almost all the
regions of Armenia. Currently we are working in Lori, next regions
will be Shirak and Aragatsotn," said Nune Yeghiazaryan, Country
Director of the Armenian EyeCare Project.
"With the Armenian EyeCare Project we have already visited 8 regions,
where tens of thousands of people were provided the possibility to get
free eye care services. We are happy for this cooperation, since our
company prioritizes not only its business activity, but also its social
responsibility to be helpful to the country and socially vulnerable
groups of the society to the extent possible. The Orange Foundation
has set a goal to bring real changes into the life of these people,"
said Francis Gelibter, Chairman of the Board of the Orange Foundation.
