It gives me great satisfaction to know that the institute is publishing its annual report for the fiscal year 2024-25, reflecting its continued growth and dedication to excellence. This report encapsulates our collective journey over the past year marked by progress, perseverance, and a shared commitment to restoring sight and enhancing lives. Throughout this year, our hospital has continued to deliver high-quality, accessible, and affordable eye care services to the people of Chitwan and surrounding regions. This report reflects not only statistics but the stories of countless lives touched by the work we do. I extend my sincere gratitude to our medical and support staff, our patients, well-wishers, and all partners who continue to believe in our mission.
