Letter from Dr Kaushik Murali ( Sankara Eye Hospital, Bangalore)

Dear Visionaries ..

Today (decemebr 3rd) is being celebrated worldwide as the World Disability Day. We at Sankara have played a large in alleiviating the condition of the disabled.

Our thrust has been service delivery and through our surgical and medical care 600000 disabled (visual) have been rehabilitated. In addition to this we also work in community based rehabilitation in our projects at Coimbatore and Bangalore.

You would be surprised that we have identified 47 blind children through our comprehensive paediatric eye care programme in Bangalore . Majority of these children have today been integrated into normal schooling.

In the past year we have screened children with hearing impairement, cerebral palsy and autism for visual ailments and found almost 30% requiring an intervention.

All this has been possible due to your continuous support to our Mission for Vision.

Warm regards

Dr Kaushik Murali
