Group Commends Multi-Links for Supporting Free Surgery Camp

Indo Eye Care Foundation has expressed profound gratitude to the management of Multi-Links Telecommunications Limited for the support lent to it in the course of carrying out free eye surgery for 1, 360 people in Lagos, Abeokuta and Yola between February and March 2009.
In the commendation letter to the managing director of the company, the group acknowledged that the free phones provided by Multi-Links was instrumental to the success of the work of the foundation at effectively and efficiently performing 1, 360 surgeries free of cost at the three locations across the country.
While conveying the gratitude of the foundation, D. S. Mirani, a trustee of the group had stated, “Our organization works on the principles of ‘SAVE THE SIGHT’ and without your significant contribution we could not have achieved our objectives effectively.”
Highlighting the intensity of the work already done by the organization, Mirani noted that the Foundation’s free eye camps have become a house hold name among the local masses across the nation in the past five years. According to him, “in the past five years we have performed approximately 7, 000 surgeries (absolutely free) including transplant of corneas.”
Though the medical team that performed the operations has since returned to India, he noted that the legacy of their good work continues to cheer the patients who have benefitted from their good work. “We shall not be exaggerating if we say that most of these persons who are treated by our doctors under the auspices of an Indian community may not have got their eyes treated in their life time. Most certainly many of them would have become blind, partially or wholly.”
In savouring the partnership by Multi-Links, the foundation said, “We appreciate your kind support, association and participation and convey our hearty gratitude to you.”
