There is another development that has taken place in Madhipura in the past month or so which is matter for much prayer. The hospital conducted a free eye camp in the month of January. An eye surgeon was called from another EHA hospital for the cataract operations. They operated 165 cataracts over 3 days. A few days later 8 of them became infected. The patients then went to the government authorities to complain against the hospital.

The whole report has been published against the hospital in the newspapers with exaggerated numbers. The State assembly has ordered an enquiry into the matter. Everyday one government official or the other comes asking for a report of the situation. Today the commissioner is visiting the hospital to look into the matter.

Dr Jachin is the only doctor right now and is trying to field all the questions and reports alone. I request prayer for her, and me as I return to this tense situation.
