  3. BACKGROUND OF BANGLADESH • Large effort made over the past years to deliver primary healthcare including eye care but we are lacking behind because of paucity of qualified physician and ophthalmologist. • Finding of studies conducted by different organizations: • One million people are totally blind • Two million people are partially blind who are unable to support themselves and to contribute to the national development. • 75% of those could either by prevented or cured by early detection and treatment.

  4. NATIONAL SUMMARY • Population 2005 (extrapolated) : 130.8 million • No. of hospitals providing Eye Care Services: 132 (Govt-65, NGO-54, Private-13) • Total qualified ophthalmologist: 750 • Total Non-Ophthalmologists but working in eye care: 268 • Total number of cataract surgeons: 450 • Total MLEP: 708 • Total number of Cataract Surgery: 131475 • Cataract Surgical Rate: 1006 • Paediatric Cataract Surgery: 4243 • Total number of Eye Beds: 3179 • Total number of teaching hospital: 26

  5. BANGLADESH BLINDNESS PROFILE • Over 750,000 blind • 650,000 due to cataract (80% of total blindness) • Over 6 million need vision correction by spectacles and other means • Approx. 150,000 irreversible blind which need rehabilitation • Approx. 40,000 children are blind of which 12,000 are due to cataract and can be cured by surgery • 80% of the above live in rural areas • 90% of the doctors and their helpers live in towns • Source: The summary Report of The Bangladesh National Blindness & Low Vision • Survey (30 & above age group), May 2003

  6. CATARACT SURGERY • Between 2,400 and 3,000 cataract operations are required/million population/year in Bangladesh to control cataract blindness • This translates to a total of 314,000-392,000 cataract operations annually • Currently about 131,000 cataract operations are being done which represents 42% of the estimated need • Source: The summary Report of The Bangladesh National Blindness & Low Vision • Survey (30 & above age group), May 2003

  7. CATARACT SURGICAL RATE REQUIRED • Minimum CSR required = 1,200-1,500/mill/year • to deal with the current backlog. • This rate needs to be doubled as • Demand is increasing and surgery being done earlier • The population is ageing • Second eyes are being operated upon • CSR to control cataract blindness = 2,400- • 3,000/mill/year
