   Standing in the new town of Ratnapura, 'Nethsetha' Eye Hospital is serving as a haven for the less fortunate. Gleaming beneath the flag of the Lions Club International, Nethsetha eye hospital is providing admirable eye treatments free for those who cannot afford expensive operations.  
     
  The remarkable features that are obvious in the hospital premises are kindness and will to serve. Following the Lions' theme 'We Serve' Nethsetha eye hospital is spreading its rays of aid not only to those who live in Ratnapura, but also to everyone in the island. The main purpose of Nethsetha is to serve the society and the less fortunate.We are performing free eye operations for those who cannot afford operation expenses.  
     
  Nethsetha eye hospital was started by Lion Asoka Z Gunasekara who is the current Chairman of the institute. It was started in 1st August 2011 and surgeries were started in 12th January 2012. The hospital is a donation from Lions in Finland for the admirable service of Lion Asoka Z Gunasekara throughout the years.Our Chairman found that those who are in need of this service are closer to Ratnapura. Specially those who work in estates have no money to get the operations done related to eye, specially when it comes to cataract operation that comes with aging. Therefore it was decided to build the eye hospital in Ratnapura  
     
  We focus on cataract operation because it is the most common condition.Our staff is very talented and caring. The surgeons are very qualified and experienced. We have reputed surgeons and a big crew of sisters, nurses and attandants. Our staff was trained in Sankara Nethralaya hospital in India and thus they are quite skilled. The most important quality of our staff is kindness. We call every patient 'amma' and 'thaaththa' so that they feel like home. And we are doing our best to do a better service together as a team.  
     
  We use the latest technologies for surgeries and our equipment are of the latest technologies because those were donated from Finland. We have two very good wards withfacilities for 17 patients in each ward.Apart from that we have two good rooms with facilities for both the patient and caretaker. In future we wish to expand thefacilities by adding more wards, a kitchenand other related facilities.  
     
  We serve peoples who can affordable to pay and get the operation done too. That is the way we earn money to perform the free operations for those who cannot afford.  
     
  If one needs to get the operation done for free the patient could come through the Lions Club of his/her area. That specific Lions club should prove that the patient is from a low income family. But if the patient is coming here directly, he/she should bring a Gamasevaka certificate and a Divisional secretariat certificate certifying he/she is from a low income family.  
     
  We treat everyone equally irrespective to the ethnicity, religion or economical strengths. Although we are in Sabaragamuwa province, anyone from anywhere is welcome here. When it comes to senior citizens, we treat them in the way we treat our own parents. Their blessing is the most important income for this institution. As a team, we assure to provide you quality service in the shortest period possible.

  "Nethhsetha is an invitation to reach out with the gift of sight to help the sight impaired experience the joy of Living. "The whole purpose of Lionism is to teach people the importance of the brotherhood of man. Unselfishness can be the greatest force for good in any neighborhood or in any country. True brotherhood exists where people live together, work together and break bread together in mutual trust and respect"  
 
  A project seeking the lasting effects of the ground work laid to meet the needs of today and for the future of Eye Care in the Region, the "Nethsetha" Lions Vision for Sight Hospital at New town, Ratnapura, is a unique gift from the Government of Finland Co-ordinated by the Lions International Multiple District 107 Finland together with the Lions International Foundation Fund and is the outcome of a request made by me.  
 
We are pleased to state that this hospital has the latest screening equipment and Theatres with state-of-the-art technology for conducting surgery, with male and female wards supported by well trained /qualified medical staff and a team of specialists.
 
The trust has made great strides in eliminating the main cause of avoidable blindness. To continue this enormous task, we need your assistance. You could contribute your share by donating the sum you spend otherwise on celebrations like birthdays, wedding anniversaries, events to remember your loved ones, may be a special day of your organization or any other significant event. Here is the opportunity for you to share our vision.
 
There is no experience better for the heart than reaching out and lifting people up –specially when an individual is given the gift of sight, to see and admire ones surroundings through their own eyes.
 
From darkness to light, the glory of vision for these poor and elderly mothers and fathers as seen on the faces of those who have been fortunate to restore their sight, speaks volumes of the joy and gratitude in their heart
 
  May you beblessed for your kind generosity !"
