VHS Hospitals, a leading healthcare provider committed to serving the community, recently announced the donation for 100 free cataract surgeries, by the Rotary Club of Madras to individuals in need. This significant contribution aims to address the growing issue of vision impairment and restoration of sight to those who cannot afford the necessary medical procedures.
Cataracts, a common vision problem affecting millions worldwide, can cause significant visual impairment and hinder individuals’ ability to lead fulfilling lives. Recognising the importance of accessible and affordable eye care, Rotary Club of Madras (RCM) have provided funds worth Rs. 5 lakhs towards these life-changing cataract surgeries at VHS.
Speaking on behalf of VHS, Dr.Suresh Seshadri, Honorary Secretary, expressed his enthusiasm for the initiative, saying, “We firmly believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of their financial circumstances. Through this donation of funds for 100 cataract surgeries, RCM and VHS hope to make a significant impact on the lives of those affected by vision impairment and empower them to live with independence and dignity.”
VHS also extended its heartfelt appreciation to RCM for the partnership and dedication to this cause. For more information, contact Anita Clayton, Donor Relations Manager, VHS, at 98411 63664.
