Eye Camp 2014

At the beginning of March this year, the Alma Bi Hospital hosted another of its specialist Eye Camps during which patients travelled as far as 200 miles to receive treatment they can't find anywhere else in the country.  

Here are some of the figures that were achieved over the 4-day period:

• 215 people regained their vision through cataract operations;

• 765 patients were treated for eye-related problems;

• 6,000 people visited the hospital during the eye camp.

Through the generosity of all of the patrons, the Alma Hospital Trust was able to organise this event and improve the quality of life of many thousands of people in just a few days. Without your generosity none of this amazing work would be possible.

Kingdom of the Blind

The Alma Hospital Trust is supporting a campaign for a very special documentary film project about the people treated by the Alma Bi Hospital. Directed by one of our trustees, David Todman, this venture could be vital in raising the profile of the charity, securing its long term future and also creating a fascinating piece of social history about the rural poor in Pakistan. If you would like to pledge your support to a great cause, please visit the campaign fundraising page:

Pakistan Filming March 2013

David Todman, one of the charity's trustees, recently spent a week at the Alma Bi Hospital documenting some of its activities on film. The trip was in research for an ambitious documentary project about rural life in Pakistan that David hopes to raise finance for later in the year. You can see a gallery of some of the still photographs he took during the visit at the link below:
