As a result, alongside suffering from vision problems for a long time, they lose their normal lifestyle and working capability. Considering the sufferings of these people, this free surgery initiative was undertaken.
The organization stated that a successful surgery is not limited to just restoring vision; rather, it creates an opportunity for a person to return to normal living, self-reliance, and productivity. This activity is being carried out with the goal that no one is deprived of necessary medical care due to a lack of money.
Receiving free medical care, the beneficiaries expressed gratitude to the donor organization and SAWAB. They also called for the continuation of such humanitarian activities in the future.
At the event, the Chairman of SAWAB and the representatives of the donor organization expressed their firm commitment to continuing such activities for the welfare of the people of Bangladesh and in service of humanity .
