With second highest population in the world, there is tremendous requirement of blood for patient care. Unfortunately, there is an endemic shortfall of this precious item. Every year we organize a blood donation drive at all our locations for our team members to contribute to this noble cause.
Rural WelfareApart from regular medical initiatives, we have also been working in the domain of rural upliftment having built several Community halls in vicinity of several hospitals. These community halls are used by relatives of patients admitted in the hospitals especially government run hospitals. The patients'''' relatives are provided with free accommodation and subsidized meals while they are busy taking care of the patient. We have also developed waiting areas in government hospitals to provide seating areas to patients and their families.
Eye CampsOur CSR efforts are focused on ''''how to not turn a blind eye'''' to a common yet growing medical concern in India. India is home to a quarter of world''''s blind with cataract being the leading cause of this problem. Our free eye camps have helped make a very simple yet vital procedure accessible to needy patients, averting the need for them to face a bleak yet highly preventable long-term reality – a life without sight. We continue to conduct large eye care camps in various villages where we provide underprivileged people with free cataract operations and eye checkups through the services of eye specialists and surgeons. All patients undergoing eye operations are also provided with adequate post-operative care. In 2012, our dedicated team was instrumental in achieving over 11,000 cataract surgeries successfully.
