On the theme, \u201cStirring Passion\u201d OVER 800 community members made up of mostly elderly men and women, as well as children, had been screened, treated and given drugs and spectacles at the cost of the Bank.<\/p>\n
The programme in Nanton is the third of such free eye care programmes undertaken by the Bank as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) exercise.<\/p>\n
