Shahabad Dairy slum, Delhi has been selected after considering its very poor socio-economic status and lack of health care in the area. Most of the health services are provided by non qualified medical practitioners. There is no eye care service provider in the vicinity. Operation Eyesight’s partner, Setu- Bridging The Gap NGO, Delhi, was the eye care service provider that used to regularly visit
these areas to provide comprehensive eye care services.istrar, society act 1860 since October 2009. Since then, we have
been implementing a Comprehensive Eye Care Project in Shahbad Dairy,
Delhi which is sponsored by Operation Eye Sight Universal, Canada with
the support of local partner like Dr. Shroff Charitable Eye Hospital and
Dr. R.P. Centre For Community Ophthalmology, AIIMS. Apart from eye care, we have been conducting General Health OPD,
Gynecology Health OPD, and Immunization in coordination with IPP VIII
Health Centre - MCD and various activities on Health Education and Micro
Skill Development in collaboration with various NGO. While implementation of all activities, we struggle with lack of proper
space to conduct our regular activities which affect on our effort towards
up gradation of health and socio economic status of shahbad dairy slum
dwellers.
