RIYADH: King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSRelief) launched a voluntary medical program to combat blindness and its causes in Bangladesh earlier this week. The program is being implemented during the period from Aug. 18 to 27.
The KSRelief voluntary medical team examined 5,100 cases, distributed 1,136 pairs of glasses, and performed 376 surgical proceedures.
The campaign comes as an extension of the projects related to combating blindness being implemented by Saudi Arabia, represented by the KSRelief, for low income families in a number of countries.
