Our affiliation with the Foundation began when the president Mr. Sunil Anand visited our Hospital in 1995. Since then the Foundation has been sponsoring 100 Eye operations per month removing cataract, implanting IOU lenses, free food and lodging for 2-3 days and transporting them back to their respective residences. Till date the Sanjay Anand Foundation has sponsored 20400 operations. Our affiliation is getting stronger as the time passes.
