AROUND 4,200 PEOPLE TO BENEFIT FROM FREE EYE CARE PROGRAM OF THE ARMENIAN EYECARE PROJECT AND ORANGE FOUNDATION IN SHIRAK REGION
Free eye screening and treatment program of the Armenian Eyecare
Project (AECP) and Orange Foundation has launched. The program will
be implemented in 2 stages - eye screening and treatment. In the
first stage the AECP medical staff will examine all those who want
to be examined just on the spot. The works of the second stage will
be carried out on the Mobile Eye Hospital, parked in the center of
the given region, where all preliminarily examined patients will pass
double screening and laser interference will be performed. All socially
disadvantaged residents of the region will undergo free eye surgery,
if necessary. Such people will be also provided with glasses for free.
In the period of September-October the AECP medical staff will visit
Ani, Artik, Akhuryan, Amasia and Ashotsk districts. The Mobile Eye
Hospital will stop in Maralik, Artik and Akhuryan.
The children from 9 schools of the region will be screened together
with adults. They will also participate in comprehensive courses on
eye care.
Today the representatives of the Orange Foundation and Armenian Eyecare
Project were present in eye screening processes in Isahakyan village.
"This is already the 10th region visited together with the Armenian
Eyecare Project. Before that the AECP medical staff has been to Lori
region, where around 4,000 people have benefited from free eye care
services. Thanks to the works carried out jointly with the Armenian
Eyecare Project, we were able to help tens of thousands of people.
People with visual impairments have communication difficulties,
our vocation, as a telecommunication company, is to facilitate
communication between people. We are happy to bring real changes
into the life of many people and families thanks to this program,"
