Sankara Eye Hospital in Hyderabad has taken a significant step ahead in its aim to provide affordable eye treatment to underprivileged areas thanks to a generous donation from Cholamandalam MS General Insurance Company Limited (Chola MS General Insurance). The organization, represented by a distinguished delegation that included Managing Director Mr. V. Suryanarayanan, President and Chief Operating Officer Mr. Ashish Hallan, Chief Financial Officer Mr. S. Venugopalan, and Chief Compliance Officer and Company Secretary Mr. Mahendra Kumar Tripathi, officially handed over a bus to the hospital in a ceremony attended by key hospital representatives.

The donation is a significant boost to Sankara Eye Hospital's efforts to deliver free eye surgery and treatments to rural underprivileged people. The bus will carry people from outlying areas to the hospital, ensuring they have easy access to life-changing therapies. The hospital holds frequent outreach camps in impoverished communities, providing full eye exams and identifying patients in need of advanced care.

Mr. Gannamraju Viswamohan, Unit Head of Sankara Eye Hospital Hyderabad, expressed his gratitude and highlighted the importance of such collaborations. "We are very grateful to Chola MS General Insurance for their outstanding support. This bus will not only increase rural patients' access to important eye care services, but it will also demonstrate the value of collaboration in driving significant healthcare projects. Collaborations like this enable us to achieve our aim of eradicating preventable blindness and building a better future for underserved people," he said.

Chola MS General Insurance's investment is consistent with its strong commitment to corporate social responsibility, which includes a focus on community development and healthcare. By collaborating with Sankara Eye Hospital, the organization hopes to have a long-term positive impact on public health, particularly among marginalized communities.

Sankara Eye Hospital has a longstanding reputation for providing compassionate and high-quality eye care. Founded with the goal of eliminating preventable blindness, the hospital has done over 2.7 million free eye operations and screened millions more through its vast outreach activities. Each year, the hospital conducts approximately 10,000 rural outreach camps, providing crucial eye care treatments to underserved individuals.

The donated bus represents a huge step forward in the hospital's efforts to broaden its reach and increase access to eye care in even the most remote places. By easing patient transportation to the hospital, the bus guarantees that people in need receive timely and effective treatments, such as cataract procedures and advanced retinal care.

The hospital's outstanding service in restoring sight and improving lives continues to inspire trust and gratitude throughout the country. The work with Chola MS General Insurance builds on this history, demonstrating the power of collaboration in tackling pressing healthcare issues.

With decades of continuous service, Sankara Eye Hospital has become a beacon of hope for millions, fulfilling its objective of transforming lives through sight. This donation is more than simply a contribution; it is a symbol of our shared commitment to eradicating preventable blindness and improving rural communities.

The hospital's medical staff, led by Dr. Sriram Simakurthy (vitreo retinal surgeon), Dr. Sirisha Polkampally (orbit and oculoplasty, cataract surgeon), and Dr. Vinti Durga Kiranmayi (vitreo retinal surgeon), emphasized the transformative impact of such initiatives.  By paving the way for a more sustainable and inclusive approach to public health, Sankara Eye Hospital and Chola MS General Insurance aim to ensure that no one falls behind on the path to a brighter and healthier future.
