I am pleased to know that Bharatpur Eye Hospital is publishing its annual performance and activities in the form of annual report this year as well. I salute all the staff members of Bharatpur Eye Hospital who continued providing eye care service to the people in this difficult situation. We have been able to upgrade Bharatpur Eye Hospital as a specialized referral center of this region and looking for developing this hospital as academic human resource training center. It’s a great achievement however; we still have to reach the unreached cataract blind people in our catchment areas. I would also like to thank CNNJS for the guidance, support from local and international donors, community leaders, and local government through different means during this period of pandemic. I also express my sincere thanks and gratitude to the entire staffs of Bharatpur Eye Hospital for their efforts to bring out this annual report. ......................................

Hospital is also engaging in various clinical and non-clinical short training programs: such as refraction training, operational research, quality improvement (Infection control). Bharatpur Eye Hospital has been thinking of equity of services, it has been adding more number of primary Eye care centers in remote area (in its catchments area) and converting Primary eye care centers in to secondary Eye hospital, this is becoming instrumental for the access of eye care services.
