South African Consul Maropene Ramokgopa who was also the chief guest at the camp said, "Nelson Mandela was known to be a public health hero. He showed everyone that there is nothing to be ashamed of if one is suffering from any kind of illness. With this camp, we are urging the authorities to step up and help the poor in order to ensure that the population is healthy. We also request the people to help at least one needy person each day so that every day becomes Nelson Mandela Day."
Co-founder of AISeon Healthcare Technologies Pvt Ltd Manoj Gursahani says, "There is nothing more crushing than losing your eyesight. We have discovered that 80% of visual impairment is avoidable and preventable and it's so unfortunate that many people who are suffering from any kind of eye-related diseases are unaware of how prevention can save them."
