Program start
The local team in Myanmar consists of trained nurses who already have experience in carrying out eye tests. Unlike in other countries, the glasses are provided free of charge. As the Buddhist organization is only financed by donations, it provides all health services free of charge to the people in the surrounding area.
Holding out in Myanmar
Despite the tense political situation in Myanmar, GoodVision (Myanmar) has so far been able to continue on a small scale and regularly offers eye camps in the hospitals of the Sitagu Buddhist Foundation.
