The management of  Sankar Foundation called upon the employees to put more effort to sustain the spirit to take the hospital to new horizons in clinical performance and to achieve a high patient satisfaction index in eye care services.  The management is taking several pro-active initiatives to expand the eye care services further in the industrial area of Gajuwaka as a full-fledged hospital.

The hospital’s Outreach Team conducted several free door-to-door eye camps in several villages in North Coastal districts of AP, which aimed to achieve avoidable blindness and make the selected villages/areas totally blindness free. This was with the support of Govt agencies, various corporates under their CSR programme and also under District Blindness Control Society  (DBCS) during the year.
