Hyderabad, March 11, 2025 : CBM India organized a free eye screening camp on the occasion of International Women’s Day as part of its ongoing ‘Inclusive Eye Care Services in Hyderabad’ project. The camp aimed to provide essential eye care services to marginalized communities and reached around 200 people, including approximately 160 women, in Rasoolpura, Hyderabad.
Supported by a CSR initiative by Movate, the project has been instrumental in promoting inclusive eye care over the past three years. Initially, the focus was solely on trans women’s vision care through dedicated eye screening camps. From 2024-25, the project expanded to include members of other marginalized communities. This inclusive approach now encourages diverse groups to come together, fostering interaction, inclusion, and community understanding while continuing to provide vital eye care support.
The project has made remarkable progress in advancing inclusive eye health. As it nears its three-year milestone in March 2025, it is projected to have reached over 3,200 people, distributed more than 1,500 spectacles, conducted 30 eye surgeries, and provided 770 ration kits.
Speaking about the event, Mr. Sony Thomas, Executive Director of CBM India, said, “Vision care is a fundamental right, and through this initiative, we aim to ensure that people from marginalized communities have access to quality eye care, irrespective of gender identity or socioeconomic status. Good vision is essential not just for daily activities but also for education, employment, and overall well-being.”
Mr. Anish Phillip, EVP and Chief People Officer at Movate, added, “Diversity, equality, and inclusivity are values deeply embedded in Movate’s corporate conscience. We have organized health assessment drives, eye screening camps, and surgeries when needed. Looking ahead, we plan to organize more camps and expand our initiatives.”
The eye screening camp reflects CBM India’s ongoing commitment to inclusive healthcare. The shift toward integrated community participation marks a significant step in reducing social marginalization while ensuring equitable healthcare access.
