Description
PREVENTION OF BLINDNESS
Pakistan is home to a massive 20 million visually impaired/blind people, placing it among the top suffering countries. The situation becomes grimmer with the fact that a major demographic hails from low income class which could barely afford a living. However, on a plus side 80% of all blindness is curable.
Sensing the acute need, Pakistan Islamic Medical Association (PIMA) rose to the occasion and founded Prevention of Blindness (POB) Trust. From a humble beginning in 2007, POB has come a long way in defying stereotypes associated with free cure.
POB’s sincere endeavors to fight avoidable blindness via numerous National and International Campaigns have made its presence felt. In 2017, living to its slogan
Sight for All – Free treatment with Dignity
POB took a great leap into the extraordinary by inaugurating its purpose built state of the art Eye Hospital in Karachi. The facility is omitted to provide quality eye care with no discrimination of any kind. Thus far, P.O.B has given thousands of people the opportunity to see again. This means more people are able to earn a living for their families, more children can get education, and dreams can be realized.
POB has set new standards for charitable eye hospitals, and serves as a beacon of hope for the underprivileged. We simply would not be able to achieve, what we are doing, without the generosity and kindness of those who support us.
