To All the Supporters and Well Wishers,

Greetings! I am very happy and pleased with the fantastic growth of the BPA Porecha Eye Hospital which is a part of the BPA Bareja Hospital Complex. What started out as an altruistic idea of preventing needless blindness and serving the poor has now exceeded all our initial ideas and dreams. We have a state of the art hospital which is charitable in nature and totally professional and modern in its management, approach and specialties. Starting out with 500 cataract surgeries annually, we now reach out to 5 districts and operate upon 12000 eyes. From a simple cataract surgery performing hospital, we now have super specialty in retina, glaucoma, pediatric eye care and low vision assessment and rehabilitation. We have been able to reach these heights due to our donors like the Porecha family, Vasantiben Patel, Vithalbhai Patel, CBM, Gruh Finance, Areez Khambatta Benevolent Trust, National Programme for Control of Blindness, Seva Foundation, HelpAge India, LIC, Samta Vikas Charitable Trust, Bella and Yogesh Patel, Jashwantbhai Tuwawala, Dr. Nitin Shah, Heart Foundation and Research Centre and Wagh Bakri Tea. Form being an agency requesting others for training, we are now so placed to offer fellowship program in Phaco and SICS surgery from Indian and international doctors. Last year we trained 22 Doctors!!

We are also running an Orthopedic Hospital and an ENT Hospital, Psychiatric Care, Physiotherapy, Pathology, X- Ray with the aim of reducing disabling conditions. We are regularly conducting eye and general health camps in remote rural areas so that the rural poor and unserved people are reached.

Next year we propose to start an Optometry College and expand our specialties.

Our motto of providing high quality eye care continues and we always strive to reach greater heights. We wish to give back to the community which it has given us so generously. We thank all for reposing their trust in us. The BPA Bareja team deserves kudos for their efforts, dedication and devotion to the cause!!

Looking forward to serving humanity further with your kind help and guidance,
