Guest: Murali Krishnamurthy
Founder/Chairman
India is home to one-fifth of the world's blind population, but the majority of
cases there are curable. With proper facilities, staff, and funding, curable
blindness can be eradicated, just like polio and other diseases. This is
Sankara Eye Foundation's (SEF's) mission -- "Vision 20/20 by the year 2020" --
providing quality eye care to the needy where they are, with a rural outreach
program, and providing facilities in a scalable, self-sustaining manner in order
to move towards the eradication of curable blindness. They have a proven
track record of having performed over 350,000 free eye surgeries and
operating 6 hospitals. Scalability comes from the fact that each of the specialty
eye care hospitals they build will become self-sufficient in 5 years, with one
already on its way. They are currently building 2 more hospitals, one in Anand
and the other in Shimoga.
