Preventative Blindness has been one of the Rotary International’s
principal area of focus, which has also been adopted by our
Rotary Club, Rotary Club of Kuching Central, as one of our club’s
significant project. This project entails the provision of free
cataract operations for low-income sector of our communities
in various parts of Sarawak.
This project has been carried out on a regular basis together with
our partners, namely doctors in the Sarawak Medical Services
and private hospitals in Kuching, and our main financial sponsor,
CIMB Community Link, the corporate social responsibility arm
of the CIMB Bank.
Our Club’s first avoidable blindness project was carried out in
Kapit from 5 to 8 December 2008, where free cataract operations
were successfully performed on 10 out of the 38 patients who
have been identified with matured cataracts during the eye-
screening project conducted on 17 to 18 November 2007.
The others could not be operated on due to various reasons
including co-existing medical conditions, self withdrawal and
failure to establish contact due to remote place of residence.
In January 2010, our Club brought our avoidable blindness
project to the remote Bario highlands. A total of 410 inhabitants
in Bario had their eyes and health checked by a team of medical
professionals. Of the 410 people, 73% are students of primary
and secondary schools, while the balance comprised of the
adult members of the community. The project was financed
by our club members. Sponsorship was provided by MASWings
which gave a 50% discount on the return airfares for the Bario-
Miri sector; Zeiss sponsored the lenses for the spectacles:
Association of Optometrist Malaysia provided the spectacle
frames and Rotary Club of Miri sponsored 20 pairs of reading
glasses.
In October 2010, the Rotary Club of Kuching Central launched
a Rotary Publicity on Wheels. Under this program, our Club
sponsored the publicity on 2 delivery vans owned by Khong Guan
Biscuit Factory. As these vans make its way to remote parts of
Sarawak delivering Khong Guan biscuits, the graphics on the van
convey the message that free cataracts operations are provided
for the needy by the Rotary Club of Kuching Central.

In a concerted collaboration between CIMB Foundation, the
Department of Health Sarawak, the Ophthalmology Department
of Sarawak General Hospital and the Rotary Club of Kuching
Central, 29 cataract patients from the low income group living in
Serian, Sri Aman, Betong and Lundu were transported to the eye
Clinic at the Sarawak General Hospital where they underwent
cataract operations. All the 29 cataract operations were
successfully carried out over 2 days on 10 and 11 December2010.
All the patients were discharged on 12 December after post-
surgical examinations. The Project was fully sponsored by CIMB
Foundation.
From 9 to 12 June 2011, free cataract and ptergium operations
were carried out in the Daro Hospital for 43 low-income
individuals who lived in Pulau Beruit. These patients, each
accompanied by their next-of-kin, were transported by chartered
express boat to be admitted into the Daro Hospital. All the
operations were successful, and the patients were transported
back home to Pulau Beruit after post operation review.
The Project was financed by CIMB Foundation and other
sponsors, such as Harwood Timber Sdn Bhd and Normah
Medical Foundation and Charitable Trust Board as well as The
Crocodile Foundation of Singapore.
On 11 August 2012, our Club, with the sponsorship of CIMB
Foundation, donated 100 cataract lenses to the Sibu Hospital.
These lenses are provided for free to needy patients from Sibu,
Dalat, Kapit, and other nearby villages, who requires cataract
operations.
We were delighted to be given the opportunity to participate
in the launch of 1 Malaysia Mobile Ophthalmic Bus Service in
Sarawak. This Bus, the second to be launched in Malaysia, will
travel to remote parts of Sarawak which are not serviced with
medical facilities to carry out such ophthalmic services. Our
Club, through the sponsorship of CIMB Foundation, has
committed to this project by donating one unit of portable operating
table and one unit of A-Scan machine to be used in this service
activity.
