Eye Care
in Bihar

The health
care in the field of eye care is most neglected
in Bihar. The number of eye specialists well
trained in ophthalmology are very few. Those
with post-graduate training have no confidence
to treat eye patients independently. They feel
shy in referring the patients to few qualified
ophthalmologists within the state. They refer
their patients to AIIMS-Delhi or Chennai. This
is beyond reach for most of the patients and
they keep lingering here and there ultimately
losing their sight as a result of poverty. The
local ophthalmologists should consult through
internet about good centers in Bihar for
treatment within the means of the poor patients.

If I
am thinking of the same Dr Ajit
Sinha who was in Nalanda Medical
College, I then have to say:
1. He is probably one of the best
ophthalmologists we have in Bihar
2. I would like to see:
a. The Bihar Ophthalmologic Society
to talk with the Govt and arrange
structured training for Post Grads
in Ophthalmology especially after
they have attained the PG degree and
then regular refresher courses.
b. Yearly or two-yearly appraisals
by colleagues to see each others
current knowledge and advise means
to improve .
This in my opinion will be good
medical practice. I know I have said
to involve the Government but WHO
WILL BELL THIS CAT??? - Dr. Murli
