• Sankara Eye Hospital, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh was inaugurated on 1st March 2004 with the active support of the TANA Foundation, Sankara Eye Foundation USA and philanthropic families in Guntur and near by areas.

• The human resource in terms of Doctors and paramedics identified from Guntur – Vijayawada region of Andhra Pradesh underwent intensive training and orientation for over an year at the Mission Head Quarters in Coimbatore and Sankara Eye Hospital, Guntur is ably managed by them.

• Under the able guidance of our CEO, Dr. Maj. Gen. Mohan Chander, the hospital performed over 10,000 free eye surgeries.
• Paying patients are also being attracted by the high quality of service – a conscious exercise to take the institution to a state of self sufficiency.

Having established Sankara Eye Hospital in Guntur on a firm footing, we are now poised to take up the second phase of construction and infrastructure development which is now a felt need.

What is Focus AP:
The Focus AP project is to build a state-of-the-art 400 bed community eye care hospital in Andhra Pradesh. This project was blessed by the Sankaracharyas in 2001. This facility in Andhra Pradesh will be similar to the campus and hospital at Coimbatore – adhering to the highest quality standards in service delivery, buildings and equipment.

Requirement Planning:

Our current plan involves multiple phases. Phase I target is to build a 100 Bed hospital, and then expand it further to 400 beds over time.

Experienced doctors and field personnel for this new hospital have been identified and will be transferred from Coimbatore as the project nears completion.

Donor Spotlight

We are touched by the generosity of this doctor's family towards eradicating curable blindness in India.
