Seba Foundation has arranged for the delivery of highly sensitive corneal tissue to Bangladesh to restore the vision of students injured during the recent anti-discrimination movement.

The corneas are being transported from Nepal to Bangladesh via Biman Bangladesh Airlines to ensure timely delivery.


This marks the first corneal transplants facilitated by the foundation, following an earlier commitment to provide 40 corneas to aid those in need.

Two students will be the first to benefit from this promise.

Sanjay Kumar, a resident surgeon at the National Institute of Ophthalmology, emphasised the urgency of the situation.

The operation must be performed within four hours of receiving the tissue, he explained, underscoring the delicate timeline.

This life-changing initiative not only brings hope to the affected students but also reinforces the importance of international cooperation in medical emergencies.
