India 2012

Heartfelt thanks to our team of 37 Aussie health professional volunteers for a successful India 2012 camp in February. Together with our Indian partner agencies we provided free health care to more than 8,000 people in need of dental, medical, optical and allied health care. This year our teams spent two weeks based in two locations - Katwa and Trichy.

A diabetes health education program conducted in Trichy, Tamil Nadu, was funded by the Australian Government through the Direct Aid Program.

The Equal Health Optical Program is co-funded by Optometry Giving Sight - the only global fundraising initiative that specifically targets the prevention of blindness and impaired vision due to uncorrected refractive error - simply the need for an eye examination and glasses.
