Raising the bar in quality eye care Quality, as all of you would agree, is the hallmark of any successful venture.

We at Sankara have been highly fastidious about “quality”. Right from the day one, when we were in a two room medical centre, providing primary health care to the economically weaker sections of the Society, we were deeply conscious about the quality of our service.

Ensuring Quality at all levels of service delivery is the foundation for the growth of any organisation and Sankara we strive hard towards this goal.

At Sankara, both in the non-paying section which caters to 80% of our beneficiaries and the paying section handling the balance 20% of the beneficiaries, the affordable patients, utmost care is being provided to ensure quality at every level.

In the outreach programme, the introduction of Tablet PCs for the Field Workers is a great boon, especially to capture the entire details of the patient, right from the time of first contact at their door steps, till the entire services are completed at the Base Hospital, dropped back and followed up.

Sankara conducts the rural outreach camps, in a highly organised manner keeping quality as the baseline. While the screening of the patients in the Camps is conducted in the village school premises with the help of our skilled doctors and staff, the identified patients are transported across 200 to 300 Kms to our Base Hospital in our own hospital buses, ensuring a comfortable travel for these elderly patients.

The accommodation facilities at the hospital, hygienic food for patients and infrastructure, are intended to keep patients at a high comfort level. The surgical theatre, the materials used and the expertise again are of very high quality at Sankara.The non-paying patients do receive the same quality of eye care like the paying patients.

For the paying patients at our hospitals, we ensure high class ambience of the campus with world class surgical services by some of the finest eye surgeons of the country.

During the year 2014-15, our commitment to quality got a National recognition with the highest Quality Award in India, IMC Ramkrishna Bajaj Quality Award for Excellence in Health Care. It was a fitting recognition which further motivated each and every one in the Sankara family to move forward with renewed energy and enthusiasm.

There is no end to the pursuit towards quality. It is an ongoing quest towards excellence. The standardisation procedures, ISO and the National Excellence in Quality Awards are the authentication of what Sankara stands for. Above all, the response from the patients and the local community, resulting in the successful replication across the Country is a standing testimonial.

As we move forward, we would like to keep reminding ourselves the golden words of Aristotle,

“Quality is not an act, it is a habit”.

What started in 1977 as a small out patient medical centre offering services to the poor, is today India’s largest super specialty eye care network.

Sankara Eye Foundation -India (SEF India) today operates 12 super specialty hospitals in states of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Gujarat, Punjab, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.

Right from the start, Sankara’s mission has remained focused on preventing and curing avoidable blindness across India.

With a mission to provide quality eye care for all regardless of socio economic, religious and linguistic considerations, Sankara has performed over one million free eye surgeries just in the last 10 years.

Partners

Sankara’s growth has been possible with the support of its partner organizations from across the world that includes Sankara Eye Foundation USA, Sankara Eye Foundation Europe. Mission for Vision Trust & Sankara Eye Society Singapore.

Reaching out for maximum impact

Sankara is positioned as an innovative and equitable health care provider; 80% of its patients are from the underserved community. Its super-speciality eye care services have been designed in varying formats to ensure reach across paying and non-paying patients, with a special focus on women and children. From last year, transgenders have been included in Sankara’s eye care initiative. Its primary goal is to fight against preventable and curable blindness.

Sankara Eye Hospital (Non-paying vertical)

Sankara’s outreach program – ‘Gift of Vision’- follows a unique logistic model where field workers, doctors and paramedics help the underserved within 300 km of the community hospitals. This last mile delivery of quality eye care is Sankara’s USP.

Through its camp co-sponsors, announcements of camp dates for screening and investigations are made in the villages. While patients requiring treatment and surgery are transported to the base hospital, systematic post-operative follow up is carried out 1 month later at the village.

‘Swagatham’ is a comprehensive neo natal screening for congenital defects in newborns carried out in the maternity centres of the Village Panchayats and Municipalities. ‘Rainbow’ is one of the first screening programs in India that focuses exclusively on children. Teachers, volunteers and Sankara’s team screen school children for diseases and abnormalities in the eye. The program covers spectacle distribution, paediatric surgeries, teacher training and distribution of low vision aids.

Vision Sankara (Paying Vertical)

Paying patients experience top class facilities at Vision Sankara. The revenuefrom the paying section is channelized to support the expenses in the non-paying section.

Sankara Eye Bank

Eye donation and corneal transplant are as highly emotional and sensitive as they are scientific. The fundamental principle is the involvement of the community. Sankara has successfully sensitized and motivated the general public around. Today Sankara Eye Bank is a highly successful initiative across various Sankara Eye Hospitals. Modern techniques are being followed in corneal transplants at all Sankara Eye Hospitals. We have also patented a synthetic cornea for certain rare conditions like ‘Stevens Johnson Syndrome’.

Capacity Building

Realising the value of human resource development in a fast growing institution, Sankara Academy of Vision (SAV) was formally chartered in 2013 by the Founder and Managing Trustee. The grooming of the entire gamut of human resource critical for eye care delivery comes under Sankara Academy of Vision, starting from Post-graduation in Ophthalmology (DNB), University recognized Fellowship programmes in various sub specialties of Ophthalmology, Under-graduation and Post-graduation in Optometry, Vision Care Technician course for +2 passed students, Post-graduate diploma in Hospital Management and various soft skill development programmes come under the purview of SAV. The training initiatives are being supported by Sir Ratan Tata Trust.

Clinical strides to improve quality

Smartphone as a direct ophthalmoscope

Team Sankara has devised a way to use an ordinary smartphone as a direct ophthalmoscope to detect common yet potentially harmful eye problems, like Glaucoma, Diabetic Retinopathy etc. Images taken on the device can be easily transferred through various social media, and archived.

Indirect Ophthalmoscopy

Feasibility of screening of diabetic retinopathy using Smartphone indirect ophthalmoscopy Further expanding the scope of smartphones as indirect ophthalmoscope, Sankara Eye Hospital, Bangalore has completed screening 200 patients with known history of diabetes from Jan 2013-Dec 2014. It showed greater sensitivity and specificity even in presence of cataract as vision threatening diabetic retinopathy

was diagnosed in 90-100% and maculopathy in 100% of the patients.

Wide applications

Low cost of both concepts makes universal application possible, right from grass roots organizations to bigger institutes and experts for eye screening andteleophthalmology, thus proving to be a major help in improving eye care in peripheral camps and remote areas with limited facilities. Non-ophthalmic care providers can be easily trained to carry out these photographic techniques.

For treating Tumors

New concepts to improve successful outcomes with patient safety were explored to treat common and rare ailments of the eye. Photodynamic therapy was used to treat cavernous haemangioma of the disc, a rare benign tumour of the eye known for its asymptomatic nature. The therapy offers a safer treatment as compared to laser photocoagulation or systemic

Infliximab as it conserves adjacent structures of the eye.

Intravitreal chemotherapy was tried for the treatment of the most common intra ocular malignancy, uveal metastasis leading to successful regression of the metastasis.

Green laser, double frequency Nd YAG laser made cystotomy of the iris cyst afer. Green laser, enhanced with Fundus Fluorescence Angiography was used to treat Retinoblastoma tumours that were unresponsive to routine local and combined systemic therapy. Retinoblastoma is the most common intra ocular tumour of the eye in paediatric age group.

Simple solutions were devised to solve complex clinical conundrums Illuminated localizer was improvised with a 20 G endo - ocular light probe and used with a cryo probe to treat retinal detachment A discarded light pipe was improvised as a chandelier light system substitute that was used to perform complex vitrectomy procedures like bimanual surgeries

TECHNOLOGY ENABLED EYE CARE

TECHNOLOGY ENABLED EYE CAREafter removal of the front portion of the intraocular light probe. A 24 gauge needle commonly available in OTs was used to drain PFCL, a heavy liquid used in complex retinal detachment surgeries.

Posterior perforation with the impacted intra ocular foreign body was treated with bone wax (Ab gel), which hydrates and expands, helping in clot formation and thus sealing the posterior perforation which couldn’t be managed by conventional methods.

New Equipment Lasik Revolutionalised

With our prompt acquisition of new technology and prudent use of upcoming technologies and techniques, refraction corrective surgical results have touched newer heights in our hands. In odd shaped corneas where either LASIK was rejected or results were unsatisfactory, ablation pattern was enabled to customize to those specific corneas which significantly improved vision correction from

lower order aberration to more complicated higher order aberrations as well. Accelerated C3R is a patient friendly modification of the classical technique wherein the halting of keratoconus is just as complete, but the unpredictability of the flattening and haze effect of the classical technique is avoided. This helped us plan advanced refractive treatments like customized PRK or PTK along with C3R. Hence, in keratoconus, the goal has shifted from vision salvage to precision driven refractive correction work.

Femtosecond laser has made LASIK possible in borderline corneal thickness cases as well as in the precise placement of intracorneal ring segments, adding a new weapon in our armoury. Intralase Assisted Keratoplasty has made keratoplasty look beautiful and eased out related difficulties to both the doctor and the patient.

Knowledge sharing

Sankara’s Grand Rounds help

Consultants and Fellows share their experiences across all units on unusual and rare ophthalmology cases and also on the latest innovations in treatments. The monthly sessions have proven to be an interesting learning opportunity for Sankara’s Post graduate students, Fellows and Consultants across all the teaching centres alike as they come together through the video conferencing facility.

A digital video recording system helps to share surgical procedures in a holistic manner. Not only does it document the steps being carried out at the microscopic level on the eye, but also gives a bird’s eye view of the surgical site, sequence of instruments, and dynamic machine parameters. The live streaming of the video enables interaction with the surgical team at live surgical meets as well. Video recordings of surgeries were used to prepare instructional presentations that have significantly expanded the ways through which surgical expertise can be shared.

Urban-Rural shared resources

Sankara’s unique hybrid model creates opportunities for its non-paying verticals to cover their operational costs from the revenue generating paying verticals.

Effective model for growth

Sankara’s paying and the non-paying verticals operate under different mandates yet come together to form a self sufficient model.

With the vision of establishing 20 Sankara Eye Hospitals by the year 2020, Sankara is on a well structured path to deliver quality eye care in all locations. Out of 12 Hospitals, 4 are already self-sufficient.

Delivering quality service

Health care is not just about new treatments, technology and therapies, it is about service delivery. Population and the volume of patients come in as a challenge in delivering care.

The cost of blindness

Cataract is one of the major causes of blindness in the country. The cost of this debilitating disease is massive and takes a toll on not just the individual but the entire household. Restoring vision will help the affected earn a living for their household and im-prove their quality of life with dignity. The community outreach program, through the years, has reached out to millions across the country. Through the Gift of Vision program Sankara ensures that not a single person goes blind due to absence of readily available and high quality eye care in the communities served by its various hospitals.

Women on the fringes

Women are the most affected as they are marginalized, and cultural taboos keep them from accessing treatment even if they can. In rural areas women are burdened with daily chores and responsibilities. They also work to contribute to the household income. Household responsibilities generally take precedence over their health. Abstaining from their routines is not acceptable by the family, hence they are a neglected section. The field staff of Sankara understand these shortfalls and go a step further not just in counseling, but helping women find a way by talking to their family members and persuading their women for timely treatment. Sankara thus empowers women in these under served areas.

Everyone matters

Sankara’s outreach efforts are designed to access varied demographics ranging from men, women, children, elderly and even transgenders. Sankara is one of the first health care organizations in the country to reach out to one of the most marginalized communities in our society, the transgenders.

Ageing ActivelySankara’s efforts have reached far and wide. Thousands of elderly women now have a new lease of life and are empowered to age actively. They are more involved socially, less dependent, and healthier thanks to Sankara’s outreach programs.

Back in the pictureIt is no mean feat to turn around avoidable disability. After numerous free camps, Sankara has managed exactly this, putting the spring back in the lives of over one lakh people. Enhanced quality of living and independence are just some of the positives of this humane effort.

Preventive eye care programs are critical as a blind child can suffer for many more blind years than a blind adult. Not only it is a huge effort, working with children requires a very different approach. Government school teachers are an integral part of the program and help Sankara immensely not only in the primary screening process but also in sustaining the effort. Trained teachers help to identify children with poor eyesight and immediately Sankara steps in to provide them timely treatment. Sankara believes empowering teachers is the only way to reach children.

Creating a capable workforce

We believe people are our most valuable assets and we constantly strive to equip our team members with latest methodologies and best practices. Domain experts are also invited regularly to impart knowledge to employees through workshops.

A partially centralized process helps in recruitment of candidates; new employees are recruited not just on skill sets but also value systems that will help integrate them better into Sankara’s culture. As a people driven

organization, performance and productivity define Sankara’s growth and success, and is monitored through a performance management system.

On par with the corporate world, Sankara provides financial security, medical insurance and accident cover. A corpus has been created to handle staff welfare at the time of calamity in an employee’s family and to support career enhancement. People costs account for half of our establishment costs. People indeed are our biggest assets!

Performance and productivity

Sankara’s efficient performance management system measures productivity of its employees. Monitored and reviewed through a data analysis system, dash boards are built to review and compare performance metrics across units. Key process indicators are set for each department and key result areas for each individual. Employees are thus able to understand the expectations and perform efficiently with more focus. Productivity norms help to evaluate

individual performance and optimize manpower requirements across units and departments. It also helps analyze areas that require additional support.

An automated web based management system handles all administrative processes, making them seamless. Appraisals and promotions are also announced on this platform.

Keeping in line with its focus on employees, the governance structure at Sankara has changed to a 3 tier

system. The erstwhile Apex council has been bifurcated into the Steering council and the Leadership council.This will provide the necessary support and focus for this growing organization.

Creating local empowerment

Sankara is at the forefront of creating and employing rural talent in India. Staff for upcoming hospitals are chosen from their respective locales,trained at the headquarters, and are then equipped to carry

Sankara’s efforts forward. There is no distinction made between men and women as Sankara is an equal opportunity employer. A rewarding work culture has thus helped attract and retain this high calibre workforce over the last decade, with attrition rates that are negligible.

Charity Navigator has once again given SEF the top four-star rating for our commitment to accountability, transparency and governance and keeping the overheads low. SEF, USA has won this award for the 3rd consecutive year, earning a new distinction of being in the top 12 percent of all charities in the USA. This is a testament to the energy and dedication of the volunteer organization at SEF, focused on the mission to eradicate curable blindness in India.

SEF community in the US rallied around the matching campaign challenge by an anonymous donor to raise $1M funds for the hospital in Rajasthan. The matching campaign that started in the last quarter of 2014 ended successfully and met the challenge by raising $1M by the first quarter of 2015. In addition to the matching campaign, there were many noteworthy awards and grants. The grants included the Rs.10 crores from the Bajaj foundation and a $160,000 grant from Wonderwork for surgery support. SEF also earned top prize of $250,000 from Microsoft in software and services for ranking #1 in a category for an online Giving campaign in Silicon Valley

Events play a large role in SEF’s fundraising efforts for free eye surgeries and hospital constructions. SEF hosted musical extravaganzas around the year with prominent Bollywood Singers like Sonu Nigam, Shreya Goshal and Shaan. Concerts were sold out across numerous US cities, Austin, San Jose, Los Angeles and Seattle. SEF teams took up new initiatives to cover fundraising efforts across the US with the 13 city Trigalbandhi concerts. SEF also teamed up with other Indian associations like AAPI, TANA, FeTNA to raise awareness and also participated at Sevathon which comprised of 100 non-profit groups. SEF USA also arranged donor dinners in major cities in USA with SEF founders Dr. Ramani and Dr. Radha Ramani. The volunteers and the donors were extremely pleased to hear the updates from Dr. Ramani and Dr. Radha Ramani.

SEF, USA’s annual revenue was around $5 million, excluding the matching amount, which is an increase of more than 40% over the 2013 revenue of $3.5 million.

Volunteers are the backbone of the SEF organization. SEF celebrated the energy and dedication of its volunteers with the Volunteer Appreciation Dinner that was held by Sankara in Sunnyvale, California. This evening was attended by volunteers from cities across the country, (Seattle, Los Angeles, Detroit, Phoenix New Jersey, DC and Houston). Several chapters across the country are small, but are run by passionate, successful professionals. What drives them in fund raising in Sankara is their passion and zeal to make a difference to the less privileged. The mark of success lies in the fact that there are generations of a family that volunteer for SEF, each one as equally enthusiastic as the other. SEF is fortunate that several children and youth across the country have taken initiatives to raise funds for Sankara in their own creative ways from dedicating their dance arangetrams and birthday presents to steering fundraising drives in their schools and public areas.

I am indeed delighted to learn that the Sankara Eye Care

Institutions has successfully completed one million totally free eye surgeries to the needy patients from Village of India. One millionth cataract surgery at no cost to the patient is a marvellous feat. It demonstrates tremendous zeal and discipline over years. It also demonstrates spread of philosophy over generation and across many centres of the Sankara Eye Hospital. I suggest that similar benefits be offered to patients beyond cataract surgery, particularly glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. We must also do school screening to correct refractive errors early in life. This remarkable achievement of the Sankara Eye Care Institutions must be published from planning to outcome, from low cost mass scale cataract surgery technique and technology to economic and societal benefits. This will encourage the new generation ophthalmologists to take forward your philosophy.

I congratulate the trustees, team of doctors, administrators, Staff and the local sponsors for this great effort. May God bless you all.

My best wishes,

Impressions

Amazing work! So thrilled to be affiliated with the Sankara movement and vision 20 by 20! This experience is very humbling and it reminds me of how blessed I am. Great to see the Sankara Academy of Vision and the spread of eye education to young people. Thank you for the wonderful work you do for the underprivileged.

Mr. Parthiv Doshi SEF Volunteer, San Jose, CA, USABangalore28.7.2014

Visiting Sankara Eye Hospital was an ‘eye opener’ for me. In particular, I was touched by the dignity with which your rural poor patients were being cared for. I also appreciated the discipline with which the patient – driven processes were implemented. All this could not have happened without effective leadership and strategy. The foundation for world class quality has been cemented.

Suresh Lulla Founder Qimpro, Chairman, IMC RBQNQA, Mumbai 7.1.2015

Visiting Sankara Eye Hospital was a huge learning experience for me. It’s a unique combination of self-sustainability and charity. The vision rehabilitation centre and clinical services are excellent!

Dr. Shailbala Patil Principal Assessor, NABH, Bangalore16.3.2015

My whole heart is filled with delightfulness by seeing the free services offered by the foundation. The satisfaction level of the patients is also at the very highest. The services offered by all the staff are so nice. In fact no apt words to comment on. I pray God to give more service mind to serve the needy.

K. Rathna Kumar Asst. General Manager, Andhra Bank, Zonal Office, Guntur 4.4.2014

I am very much pleased with services given by the Sankara Eye Hospital for the poor and needy with a lot of service motto to patients. The hospital premises, building and block are well equipped.
