Services

Eye care services

Among the rural communities in Ethiopia, information about blindness and eye diseases is very limited. Since the establishment of GTM, importance has been given to health education in the outreach service and the base eye care centers. Health information is also given at public gatherings and market places.

Optometry service

The Butajira and Batu/Zeway eye care centers have optometry service. Persons with vision problems are refracted by optometrists and trained ophthalmic nurses at the base centers and outreach camps.

Water supply and Sanitation

Trachoma is the leading infectious cause of blindness in Central Ethiopia. Poor sanitation and lack of clean water supply contribute to the spread of trachoma. As part of its preventive strategy, GTM has seen the importance of investing on water and sanitation projects.
