Madinah Eye Camp

Haji Muhammad Salim sb sponsored free eye camps all over the world long before the Madinah Foundation was founded. It was not easy to set up an eye camp in a medically undeveloped city like Pakistan. To make it feasible, a highly qualified crew is on hand at the Madinah Eye Camp, and all of the necessary equipment has been imported from Germany and Italy. Doctors from MTH teach local workers how to maintain the machinery. Medina eye camps import cornea from Sri Lanka, where people usually donate their eyes for the wellbeing of the people, to undertake cornea transplants.

In 1993, the first Madinah eye camp was held.From that time until now, every patient in the camp has had access to free medical care. Three meals a day are supplied to the patients and their attendants.The foundation takes extra precautions to ensure that the meals, consumables, and surgical equipment are of the highest quality.
