BACKGROUND

Health

CDIP has been operating a Health Support Program (HSP) for its members through static and satellite clinics since 2013 at branch levels. The HSP provides outpatient care, primary healthcare, family planning services and other preventive healthcare services to the members of the society at village level. The objective of the program is to improve maternal, neonatal and child health as well as reduce vulnerability to non-communicable diseases and common ailments. CDIP has extended its HSP towards Primary Eye Care (PEC) through mobile eye camps in different branches. Since July 2019, CDIP has been working with international eye health organization (Orbis International) to integrate primary eye care into the HSP to increase access and ensure universal eye health coverage including vision center operation in Bangladesh by paying special attention to remote communities.
