First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study will look at what happens when a standalone eye center becomes part of a government hospital in Kalaiya, Nepal. Researchers will track changes in how many patients visit, follow up, and get referrals, and ask patients and staff what they think. The goal is to learn if this integration model can improve access to eye care in low-resource areas.
