Barsana is surrounded by a cluster of 120 villages. The villagers here are extremely poor and can barely afford one square meal a day. There are no medical facilities in this cluster. Due to their extreme poverty and lack of medical facilities they prefer to lead a life of blindness due to cataract. So to help them see, Bhaktivedanta Hospital takes a lot of efforts, and conducts the annual Barsana Eye Camp. Now, monthly eye camps on first four days of each month are also held, to facilitate the need there. All the required equipments, medicines, lenses, surgical items, Operating microscopes, etc., are transported from Mumbai to Barsana. The team of volunteers from Bhaktivedanta Hospital and Share Your Care put their efforts together to build a fully equipped, modern and sterile operation theatre in the primary health center at Barsana.
