The Department of Health, CTA rendered free eye, sugar, and blood pressure check-ups to the maximum staff of CTA, LTWA and Men-Tse-Khang. The purpose of this is to make the staff aware of the conditions of their eyes, sugar and blood pressure levels. Also provided information for necessary care and solutions to those who need it.
The check-ups occurred in two batches the first batch was held on the 16th of November 2022 with successful screenings of 187 CTA Staff. Following this the second batch took place on 23rd of November 2022 reaching the rest of CTA staff as well as LTWA and Men-Tse-Khang staff. Overall, we have successfully screened 384 staff including the first batch.
The program is funded by Tibet Fund and some compensation for the eye screening is given by SM eye hospital, Kangra (with whom we have partnered).
