Bhubaneswar: Centurion University launched the ‘Healthcare on the Wheels’ vision care vehicle in a groundbreaking move in Odisha.
As the first university in Odisha to undertake such a transformative initiative, Centurion expanded its long-standing commitment to serving rural Odisha through visionary healthcare solutions, a press release stated.
Centurion University has, over the years, organised vision care camps across Odisha’s rural belts, reaching marginalised communities and providing essential eye care services.
“We are thrilled to extend our vision care efforts through the ‘Healthcare on the Wheels’ initiative. Our experience with vision care camps has shown us the profound impact accessible eye care can have on individuals and communities. ‘Healthcare on the Wheels’ represents a continuation of our mission to empower underserved populations with essential healthcare services, bringing cutting-edge healthcare directly to those who need it most,” said Centurion University president Dr Mukti Kanta Mishra.
‘Healthcare on the Wheels’ vision care vehicle, funded by LTIMindtree, will deliver comprehensive eye tests, connecting patients with medical professionals and offering affordable eyewear solutions.
Centurion University aims to address the urgent need for accessible eye care in rural Odisha through partnerships with Essilor and a focus on community engagement.
