Mobile Eye Clinic of Azercell examined Lokbatan sanatorium residents and refugees in Sumgait

The unique in its kind project - Mobile Eye Clinic launched on June 1, 2011 on the International Children's Day at the initiative of Azercell Telecom - the market leader in mobile technology in Azerbaijan, successfully continues its operation. This project, primarily intended for prevention of eye diseases and complex examination of children deprived of parental care, also caters for the elderly and the poor. As part of the regular visits to orphanages and the elders’ shelter, Mobile Eye Clinic's doctors examined 36 residents of Cardio-rheumatology Sanatorium number 39 in Lokbatan on July, 2. In addition, Azercell’s Mobile Eye Clinic has visited the shelter of refugees from Lachin and Zengilan regions located in Sumgait on July, 3. As the result 36 people in total – 31 children and 5 adults have been examined by the clinic.

We would like to remind that the Clinic has already been to many boarding schools and orphanages in Baku. In addition, the doctors also examined children with vision problems arriving from the orphanages of Ganja, Lankaran, Gusar regions, as well as children living in the camps in Nabran, Guba and Khachmaz. Only during 2013, the Mobile Eye Clinic examined 563 people, out of which 519 were children and 44 were seniors.

In spite of the hot summer season, Azercell’s Mobile Eye Clinic continues its intensive operation for the benefit of all those who is in need of its support. On July, 9 the Clinic will visit refugee shelter in Gala settlement and examine its residents.

Note that back 4 years ago Azercell also commissioned a Mobile Dental Clinic. This project has gained immense popularity in our country, and for years of operation more than 2 thousand children benefited from its services. Azercell's initiative has proved so popular that later some other companies also launched similar mobile clinics and began site visits with check-ups.
