EYE SCREENING & CATARACT OPERATION CAMP AT MAINATAND, BIHAR
According to NPCB, prevalence of Blindness was 1.1% (2002), which came down to 1% (2007) and they expected it to come down to 0.5% (2010).
Cataract 62.6%Refractive Error 19.7%Glaucoma 5.8%Corneal Blindness 0.9%Posterior Segment Disorder 4.7%Others 5%
Causes of Blindness
According to various estimates there are 12 million blind in India.
3.8 million new cases (incidences) are added every year.
12 million cases will enhance to 18 million by 2020 mainly because of longevity, inadequate infrastructure and very poor delivery system.
Cataract may occur at any age but persons in age group 60 and above are most vulnerable.
Present population is 127 crore and 8.2% are in age group of 60 years and above.
Thus 10 crore people are in age group of 60 years and above.
72.2% population lives in about 6.38 lakh villages in 640 districts. Only 27.8% population lives in 5480 towns and cities.
Incidence of blindness are significantly higher in rural areas i.e. 1.62% as compared to 1.03% in urban areas.
Infrastructure available to tackle this health problem is very-2 inadequate at Block level, Tehsil and District level.
NPCB had budget allocation of Rs. 1260 crore for 11th five year plan i.e. Rs. 260 crore per year for entire country, which is grossly insufficient.
Bulk of Govt. expenditure is incurred in maintaining and equipping Govt. hospitals at district and sub-division levels. But incapable to handle population of district suffering from cataract, which is on average 18 lakhs i.e. 1.5 lakh 60+ age group.
District hospitals either do not have operating eye surgeons or the equipment to perform surgeries are non functional.
In many cases, Govt. eye surgeons prefer to do surgeries at their residence ar at some private hospitals.
A large number of NGOs/Charitable Eye Hospitals doing more than 70% total surgeries in the year, but do not get financial support from Govt. even as per norm.
Since funds are routed through District hospitals, system adds to inefficiency and corruption.
NPCB appear to be satisfied that as per their record 63 lakhs surgeries were done during 2011-12 against the target of 70 lakhs.
Because of many social and economic constraints old people can’t reach cities for treatment because of distance and cost of surgery, the services are required to be rendered at door step.
Govt. Annual budget is not only inadequate but allocation and distribution is faulty with many loop-holes.
There is need to have adequate facilities and eye hospitals in the private/public sector with committed staff to cater to rural population.
There is need to involve society and NGOs to great extent in order to supplement efforts of
Government. Over the years, Philanthropists have made great contribution in this field.
Strategies:Re-strengthening service delivery system focusing rural, backward and slum areas.
Developing human resources for eye care with incentive to work in rural and backward areas.
Promoting outreach activities and public awareness with public private partnership model.
Developing and promoting institutional capacity building.
Providing greater role and responsibility to NGO’s and charitable institutions with adequate incentive.
