PATIENTS OF GETA EYE HOSPITAL

In 2014, Geta Eye Hospital installed, with Friends Foundation International support, a deep tube well with hand pumps at  12 locations within the hospital premises to increase the accessibility of water for drinking and sanitation. This will be helpful to maintain the individual hygiene of the patients and sanitation within the premises. Altogether, 12 hand pumps were placed in the patients’ waiting area, toilets, and wards.
