Equipped with modern technology and state-of-the-art equipment, the hospital specializes in diagnosing and treating various eye conditions. Its doctors are proficient in performing cataract surgery using advanced Phaco emulsification machines.
The establishment of the second hospital was made possible through the support of the SEVA Foundation, USA, and Aravind Eye Care System, India, which aided in the human resource development of the hospital.
