DHAKA, Oct 20, 2024 (BSS) - In a move to restore vision, cornea transplant, an operation to replace part of the cornea with corneal tissue, has been conducted on the eyes of two patients who were injured in the anti-discrimination student movement. The Seba Foundation-operating out of the USA and Nepal-has arranged the delivery of highly-sensitive corneal tissue to Bangladesh for emergency transplant procedures. The adviser said a significant number of common people including students who were injured during the anti-discrimination student movement are receiving treatment in various private and public hospitals. "A specialized dedicated care unit has been formed at Dhaka Medical College Hospital for their better treatment. It has been ensuring maximum health care to the injured people," she added.
