It gives me immense pleasure to know that Institute is publishing annual report for the Fiscal Year 2022- 2023. Hira Lal Santudevi Pradhan Eye Institute has established itself as a centre of excellence in the eye care sector, and is considered as one of the notable examples of community participation to achieve the noble objective of NNJS in providing high quality and high volume eye care services in affordable form to the rural population. In doing so, the Institute uses multi-pronged approaches as well as developing ophthalmic human resources for delivering quality eye care services in Nepal.

The Institute takes pride in a cadre of adequate experienced ophthalmologists and has a good back-up of paramedical and administrative staff. The institute is committed to providing high quality eye care at affordable cost at all levels and places value on evidence-based decision making and findings of research and studies.

We are thankful to all INGOs and the concerned stakeholders for their generous support and inputs to NNJS in developing and promoting eye care services in this country. I would like to express thankfulness to NNJS volunteers and staff of the institute who have worked for publishing this noble work.

 I wish the every success of the Institute and very much look forward to continuing to build on our work together next year.

Thanking You
