Over 5,000 Children Screened Under Keralam's Anbu Project
Keralam's Anbu project screened 5,295 special children across the state. Eligible children were given follow-up treatments and corrective eyeglasses. Some needed surgery, including cataract procedures, which were provided free of cost to them. Families did not have to pay for any of these services.
