INDIA-HEALTH-CATARACT

Indian Punjab state Health and Family Welfare Minister Surjit Kumar Jyani (2nd R) talks with Nishan Singh (R) who lost his eyesight after undergoing surgery, at a government hospital in Amritsar on December 6, 2014. Doctors may be able to restore the vision of at least six out of 20 people blinded by botched free cataract surgery in northern India, a government official said December 6. Authorities have suggested poor surgical hygiene may be to blame for the cases of blindness in the normally low-risk operations in what is the latest scandal to highlight poor medical care in India.
