Amguri, Assam – In a commendable initiative to provide healthcare access to underserved communities, PROBAAH, an Assam-based NGO, in association with ERC, Sivasagar, organized a free eye camp at Mozdur Club, Borbam TE, Amguri. The camp aimed to address the eye care needs of tea garden workers and local residents who often face difficulties in accessing medical facilities.
Bridging the Healthcare Gap
For the residents of tea garden areas, visiting hospitals or nursing homes for regular health check-ups is often a challenge due to financial constraints and lack of transportation. Recognizing this issue, PROBAAH and ERC eye care hospital, Sivasagar, brought essential eye care services directly to the community, ensuring free health screenings and treatment.
Key Highlights of the Camp

A Step Towards Better Vision and Health
The camp brought immense relief to the attendees, many of whom struggle with untreated vision problems. By offering diagnosis, medication, and follow-up care at no cost, the initiative has significantly improved the quality of life for hundreds of individuals.
PROBAAH and ERC eye care hospital, Sivasagar, through such efforts, continue to demonstrate their commitment to inclusive healthcare. The success of this camp underscores the importance of community-driven medical initiatives in reaching the most vulnerable populations.
