I saw this all documentary and to be honest with you all, we should appreciate Dr. Ruit, for whatever he has done for Nepal. Lets forget about the this documentary, how many of you know about Dr. Ruit’s work in Nepal. Go back to the remote villages of Nepal and ask with the villagers, do you know anyone named Dr. Ruit? The only one answer you will find is , Yes I’m able to see you right now because of Dr. Ruit. Short description, Tilganga Eye Center, it started from a small tiny room and now its one of the best eye hospital in South Asia. It has two different departments, half of the building is Tilganga Surgical center ( eye hospital) and half of that building is Intra Ocular Production Lab ( the best lenses produced in South Asia, accepted from 2 different ISO, and CE marks). Its all under Fred Hollows Foundation of Australia, that’s the foundation which initiated this all under Dr. Ruits Leadership. And he definitely did a great job for the enormous success of this foundation. Yes, of course, the IOLs (Intra Ocular Lenses) produced from Tilganga were of best quality, the service provided from TEC ( Tilganga Eye Center) is great. If you don’t belief me, go to that place now, you might have to stand in the line from 3 am in the morning to get an appointment on the same day because of the pressure. I remember one time one of the fellow who used to work in TEC (hospital not lab) told me the story when they went to Solukhumbu for an eye camp. They had to walk almost 5 hours to get to the camp site, and guess what, Dr. Ruit was with them as well. Lets think, he is loaded, he is prestigious, he has very good image, and of course he is very well known eye surgeon as well, don’t have to spend his life in Nepal, he has lots of opportunities. Bu the great thing is, he loves to work like that. This is what I know about Dr. Ruit, I know he is very good individual, and the best Doctor in whole South Asia. The only one reason I know about this all is I have worked in Tilganga IOLs Production Lab for 3 years, and in my work period I got chance to meet with Dr. Ruit 5 times during the conferences and meeting ( it used to be get together meeting where employee of Lab and Surgical center were invited). He has awesome personality. So please don’t take it in any other way, the only one reason I’m describing about this all is , I know that place better than others because I worked with this organization for more than 3 years. I’m still in touch with my friends who used to work with me there and most of them are still there and I was happy to hear some good news about the lab. Lab is doing great job in production of more advanced IOLs (Foldable Iols). This is what I know about TEC, and please feel free to ask anything about that place, I think I do know something about it. No offense if you guys don’t like my appreciation to TEC and Dr. Ruit, but that’s what the reality is. Of course there are lots of Doctors who are assisting Dr. Ruit like, Dr. Govind, Dr. Rita, And the GM of the Lab Rabindra Shrestha (including all the staff of TEC). I’m glad I got chance to work under the organization leaded by Dr. Ruit. This documentary is awesome thanks for sharing with us. We know something about North Korea now, and, of course, Dr. Ruit has done more than this for Nepal as well. I appreciate TEC ( Tilganga Eye Center) and especially Dr. Ruit for his contribution for Nepal and whole World.
