Eye Donation & Enucleation Of Cornea
Eye Donation Rally: Dr. Tejal Dalal took initiative and organized Eye Donation Rally on 10th October 2013 in Gandhinagar to create awareness among the public of the need for donating eyes and to bridge the gap between demand and supply of cornea. The rally was joined by more than 1500 people and flagged off by Hon’ble Deputy Chief Minister of Gujarat Shri Nitinbhai Patel. It was a resounding success as it motivated people to come forward and pledge for eye donation.
Enucleation of Cornea: Dr. Dalal has worked with state and central govt. to allow paramedical staff to collect corneas from donors resulting in tremendous increase of eye donations in villages, expanding employment for paramedical staff and enabling eye transplants for many people.
Dr. Dalal believes deeply that “there is no feeling better than compassion which you can fulfill through your profession” and hence, TEC members go beyond their profession to help tens of thousands of people and bring joy to their family! Objective is to eradicate “any avoidable form of blindness”.
