3 Zakat appeal in Ramzan We are deeply grateful to all our donors and supporters for making our Zakat Appeal Campaign in the month of Ramzan a huge success. It means a lot to us that we have been surrounded by such love and support by friends, donors, media and even strangers. The campaign was launched on July 20, 2012 designed and executed by Prestige Communications for which we are deeply grateful to their entire team. Based on heart touching true stories of our male/ female patients with special focus on women the objective was to make people realize what losing sight means and how their support in the form of Zakat & donations could save millions from blindness enabling them to remain productive, dignified and income generating members of society. We are particularly thankful to the following for their support during the month of Ramzan: Aab Pharma, Aaj TV,Ary One World, Business Plus, Daily Times, Dawn News, Express 2, Express, Hum TV, Express News, Express Daily, FM 107, Friday Times, Kashish, KTN, KTN News, Masala, News Line, News One, P&G, Ravi, Samaa, She, Sign Source,The Cricketer, TV One, Unilever, Vatan Urdu, Vatan Magazine, Waseb, Womenís Own, Zamana and all others who supported us in order to maximise our coverage. This year we also received a great response on Facebook where over 19,000 people were added as fans. To become a fan, log on to LRBT Song Mr. Anwar Maqsood and Suroor Band join hands with LRBT to create awareness about blindness and raise funds for the trust. A song Hum Bhi Dekh Saktay Hain' with lyrics by Mr. Maqsood and sung by Suroor Band was put on air. Suroor also appeared on morning shows of various TV channels promoting the cause and supporting it on their own Facebook page. We are grateful to all for their kindness and generosity.

4 Coping with the ever-growing patient volume LRBT Hospital, Khanewal LRBT Hospital, Arifwala In an effort to make rural posting attractive to doctors, additional residential accommodation is under construction which is expected to be ready by December This will help in attracting doctors to serve at this hospital LRBT satellite clinics at rural health centers LRBT Hospital in Khanewal Our Hospital at Khanewal was originally opened in 2006 in a donated bungalow which had been modified for it. Consequently it did not provide a smooth flow for movement of patients. This made their visit more time consuming. The new OPD/Surgical complex provides a comfortable waiting area with proper facilities, screening, refraction, consultant rooms, a new major and minor operation theatre, biometry and a dispensary all under one roof. It is expected that the new Complex will be ready to receive patients by end December this year. LRBT Hospital, Odigram Construction of the new purpose built 40 bed Hospital is progressing well with the first level slab laid and the ground floor columns /block masonry work of the doctor's residences underway. The Hospital is expected to be ready by September We will then be able to move from rented premises in Saidu Sharif where we are currently housed LRBT Hospital in Odigram In a new initiative, LRBT through a Memorandum of Understanding with the District Administration of District Chakwal and Rawalpindi launched four new Satellite clinics in the periphery of our Mandra Hospital. Under the programme, a qualified team of mid level ophthalmic professionals visit four RHC's on designated days of the week to examine patients. The response has been overwhelming especially from women, children and older people. In order to enhance the coverage, LRBT, in the near future plans to train the Lady Health Workers for diagnosing common eye problems and referring them to these clinics based at the RHC's. Seeing is believing - visits to LRBT Karachi Mr. Steve Atkinson Group Head of Corporate Affairs, Standard Chartered Bank along with the SCB Team visited LRBT Korangi Hospital on September 27, His remarks were Inspirational! Take back an even greater desire to raise funds. Rotary Club Sharqi signed a MOU with LRBT at the Central Office on July 14, 2012 for a project to carry out 1970 cataract surgeries at our North Karachi Hospital beginning from 1st October The cheque handing over ceremony is planned to take place on the 13th of October at the Tertiary Hospital, Korangi.
