Corneal blindness free Punjab initiative to be reinvigorated: Vini Mahajan

Chandigarh, Sep 10 (UNI) Punjab Chief Secretary Vini Mahajan on Thursday said that Corneal Blindness Backlog Free (CBBF) Punjab initiative will be reinvigorated.
Addressing a virtual Eye Donation Fortnight (EDF) 2020 event held at PGIMER, here, Ms Mahajan said, as there has been an 80 per cent decrease in eye donations and 78 per cent decrease in the number of Keratoplasty surgeries in the months of March to June 2020 all over India. Thus, it is need of the hour to boost the CBBF Punjab, which was initiated in 2015.

With the achievement, the state of Punjab has not only set an example for all the other states across the country to follow but also proved that it has the potential to come up as a leader.
