Affordable and accessible hospital and community outreach services for treatment and prevention of avoidable blindness The new Takeo Eye Hospital building was inaugurated last 4 April 2010 by His Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni. The hospital has 64 beds capacity and conducts 200 consultations daily which include cataract, glaucoma, corneal ulcer, refraction, low vision and other eye problems. The optical shop provides the ready made and prescribed eyeglasses on the same day of the consultation. Daily 20 - 30 eye operations of various types are done with SICS, phaco and laser treatment for diabetic patients. The eye operations are done in the new operating room with 6 operating microscopes. The community outreach services are done twice a week in remote areas and facilitate the referral of patients needing treatment and eye operations. Once a month follow up visit are done to villages where more patients failed to go to the hospital. Research and intervention study are done to develop strategies to prevent common eye problems. Result of the studies are presented in meetings, in ophthalmology congress, and integrated in training courses for doctors, nurses and primary eye care training manual. The social service and counseling section assists the patients in understanding the process of treatment. Identified barriers are provided by the hospital such as food, transportation, spectacles, medicines, further treatment and referral and provision for caregiver while at the hospital. |
