In a significant contribution to healthcare, the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) has bolstered the capabilities of Visakhapatnam's Sankar Foundation Eye Hospital with a generous donation of advanced retina equipment.

This initiative comes under the auspices of LIC's golden jubilee foundation.

The inauguration ceremony, held at the hospital premises on Thursday, saw L K Shamsunder, Zonal Manager of LIC South Central Zone, Hyderabad, officially unveil the state-of-the-art equipment. 

Joining him were Puneet Kumar, Zonal Manager of LIC South Central Zone, and K Radhakrishnan, General Manager of Sankar Foundation, alongside officials from both organizations.

The newly installed equipment includes spectral domain Ocular Coherence Tomography (OCT) and a fundus camera, collectively valued at Rs 45.50 lakh.

This technology infusion aims to enhance the hospital's medical retina services significantly. With precise diagnostic capabilities, the OCT and fundus camera will empower doctors to detect and manage retinal abnormalities with unprecedented accuracy.

In his address at the event, L K Shamsunder underscored the pivotal role of Sankar Foundation in delivering essential eye care services to the community.

He expressed his delight in partnering with an institution dedicated to reducing avoidable blindness in the region.

The collaboration between LIC and Sankar Foundation marks a milestone in advancing healthcare accessibility, ensuring that cutting-edge medical technologies are deployed to benefit patients in need.

As both organizations continue their commitment to public welfare, this donation stands as a testament to corporate responsibility and compassionate healthcare initiatives in Visakhapatnam.
