grant enables LRBT doctors to remove a brass nail from a child s
eye
Her father, Abdul, took her to a senior eye consultant, who discovered that there was something in Nidas eye. The cost to remove it was £800, without guarantee that Nida would regain her sight. Abdul, a carpenter, earning about £60 per month, was devastated. Abdul was then told about LRBT, and so Nida was taken to the Karachi hospital. She was examined by the Chief Ophthalmologist who used equipment provided by The UK Community Fund. He discovered that the object was a bent brass nail. They were able to remove the nail and save her eye. Her family were very grateful for the care at LRBT, recognising that the care she received was both free and the best available. Without the treatment, she would have had to have her eye removed. But now she has kept her sight, and has every opportunity to make the most of her life. |
