B.P.

Eye Foundation (BPEF), a national NGO with mission to eliminate avoidable

blindness and deafness, was established in 1991. Its collaboration with

Tribhuwan University resulted in establishment of a center of excellence for

human resources for eye health at Tribhuwan University. This strategic

partnership helped Nepal in achieving national self-reliance in human resources

development for eye health, turning out over 150 Ophthalmologists and over 100

Optometrists. Prior to this, the country was totally dependent on other

countries. With this program, Nepal is now helping other countries for training

their eye care workers.

It’s

current project – Hospital for children, Eye, ENT, and Rehabilitation Services

(CHEERS), has served over half a million people in the first 6 years and

developed a successful model of integrated Vision and hearing care. The Center

is now poised to train different categories of Ear care personnel to help Nepal

achieve self-reliance in HRH training and expansion of services.
