John Keells Foundation (JKF) supported the Ministry of Health, in conducting an Eye Camp in Mullaitivu from 3rd to 5th March 2012. This eye camp, organized by the Vision 2020 Secretariat of the Ministry of Health and sponsored by JKF, is the first eye camp to be organized in Mullaitivu, an area formerly inaccessible due to the ethnic conflict.

About 450 residents from in and around Mullaitivu attended the camp, out of which approx. 200 were identified for cataract and 95 operations were completed. The unique feature of this eye camp was that screening of patients and the conduct of operations happened simultaneously.
