Social Impact

Sankara is committed to bring the positive changes in the eye care sector by addressing the challenges of non-availability and non-affordability of quality eye care. The global burden of blindness due to cataract is increasing day by day. In such scenario Sankara‘s goal is to eliminate needless blindness. Thus we follow 80:20 model where 80% of the beneficiaries receive free eye care every year. 20% of affordable beneficiaries’ group cross subsidise the cost of care given to patient from weaker economic sections of the society. The momentum of this humanitarian work is taken forward by the generous support of those who contribute financially to Sankara in different capacities. This goes towards our mission of providing affordable eye care.

Sankara strives through it’s every effort to provide quality eye care to all. An overall snapshot of Sankara’s performance provides insights on how the system is performing. Highlights of quality outcomes have been captured from across the value chain.

9 states are covered by Sankara’s Outreach Program. Over the next few years, we plan to build one more community Eye Hospitals in Hyderabad (Telangana). Our Outreach programs include:

The primary goal of the Vision Center is to deliver preventive and primary Eye Care services for the rural denizens. It serves as a vital link between a beneficiary and an eye care institution. It creates an eye care delivery channel that provides preventive, curative and promotive eye care services in a sustainable way closer to the community’s home.
