care consistently throughout our community care facilities. Even through the worst of the
pandemic and beyond, Sankara Nethralaya rose to task of treating patients with Covid related
complications as well complications which arose because patients were not able access basic
eye care in time. We are happy to be acknowledged as one of the World Best Specialized
Hospitals 2022 by the Newsweek- Statistica Inc. survey for the third consecutive year.
We thank our consultants, staff and paramedical staff for their continual dedication to the
vision of this institution and making this international recognition possible.
