Over 125 visually impaired persons living in Pulmoddai received spectacles following a spectacle donation campaign organized by the Sri Lanka Navy (SLN) at the Pulmoddai Base Hospital, recently.

Under the Naval Social Responsibility initiative the SLN extended their supportive hands for this noble project which was sponsored by a private donor, following the directives of Navy Commander Vice Admiral Nishantha Ulugetenne.

The Medical Staff of the Eastern Naval Command, nearby naval establishments and the Pulmoddai Base Hospital staff joined hands for the distribution of spectacles.
