DR Survey underway

Ophthalmology Department is carrying out  a rapid survey on prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in Bhutan. Diabetic Retinopathy is a growing concern because the epidemic of non-communicable disease such as diabetes is on the rise even in the rural parts of the country.It would provide an important challenge in the future.
Diabetes is no longer the concern of the rich only...it is travelling hills and cliffs to knock the doors of the poor.
