AVOIDABLE BLINDNESS - PITAS 7 Feb 2010

Avoidable Blindness Campaign
Pitas, 7th February 2010
The Avoidable Blindness Campaign at Pitas on Sunday, 7th February 2010 was a follow up of the Rotary District 3310 “Avoidable Blindness Conference” held at the Sabah Trade Centre in Kota Kinabalu on 22nd November 2008.
The Avoidable Blindness Campaign was organized with the support and assistance from the Jabatan Oftalmologi of Queen Elizabeth (QE) Hosiptal led by the Ketua Jabatan & Pakar Oftalmologi, Dr. Shuaibah Abdul Ghani. The other specialist doctors participated in the campaign are Dr. Norwazilah Binti Mohd Ansul, Dr Mustafizur Rahman, Dr Linda, as well as optometrists, Cik Norhayati Hat, En Ikbal, Cik Suhaida, Cik Enjelin, En Irwan and 7 others hospital assistants. Some staff members from the Sabah Medical Centre (SMC) have also participated at the campaign. There were 10 Rotarians, three of them accompanied by spouses and family, and 3 Rotaractors who also participated in the event.
About 300 kampung residents of Pitas were examined and treated by the doctors at the Dewan Serbaguna Pekan Baru Pitas. Some of these patients who require surgical treatment will be treated at the District Hospital of Pitas and Kota Marudu within one month time by the specialist doctors. Due to the great turnout, the doctors and volunteers worked tirelessly to complete the examination/treatment of the patients, by taking only a short 15 minutes lunch break by turn despite that they having departed very early on Sunday morning and taken the three and half hours bus journey from Kota Kinabalu.
While the medical team was busy examining and treating their patients, the Rotarians and spouses were occupied giving out the de-worming medication and distributing exercise books, stationeries, snack foods/drinks and used clothing to the kampung folks.
President Frankie closed the campaign with expression of words of gratitude and thanks to the doctors and volunteers from QE hospital and gave an appreciation certificate to each of the QE volunteer. President Frankie also thanked the Pitas District Office, SMC volunteers as well as the Rotaractors who had participated and/or assisted in the event. He also thanked the RCKK Rotarians and spouses, especially Rtn Dr. Ravi for organizing the campaign that will make a difference for the life of those kampung folks.
The chartered bus left Pitas about 4.30 pm. As a token of appreciation, the doctors and volunteers were invited for a simple dinner at Lintas Plaza after reaching Kota Kinabalu at about 8 pm.
Dear President Frankie and fellow Rotarians,
This is just to express my heart felt gratitude to all the Rotarians who took the trouble to come all the way to Pitas last Sunday to help out with the Medical Outreach - Avoidable Blindness Eye Camp. I wish to thank:
