Eye Hospitals
- Gaur Eye Hospital
The history of Gaur Eye Hospital
began with an eye camp that was
conducted in Gaur, the head
quarters of Rautahat district in
1990. It was realized that
temporary eye camps are not
sufficient to cater the needs of the
patients in this district. Therefore,
a permanent eye health service
provider at the locality was felt
necessary and Dr. Itaru Kurozumi,
the then Chairperson of AOCA,
particularly took commendable
initiative to establish an eye care
center at Gaur. Then a primary
eye care center was established in
1997 under the NNJS management
with the support of Narayani Eye
Care Project (NECP). But due to
the increased patient flow, it was
realized that a bigger eye hospital
was the need and with an aim
to provide a wide range of eye
care service, the center was later
converted into a 16 bedded eye
hospital and then to 100 bedded
hospital.
