Chandrasekhar Sankurathri, MD, visiting professor of ophthalmology, has dedicated his life to saving the vision of people who would otherwise go blind. In 1989, he established the nonprofit Sankurathi Foundation as a memorial to his wife, son and daughter who were killed in an Air India terrorist bombing on July 23, 1985. The mission was to “empower the poor through better education, eye care and timely help to the needy.” His mission expanded in 1993 with the opening of the Srikiran Institute of Ophthalmology, named after his son. The eye hospital provides accessible and affordable services to all “irrespective of race, religion, caste, age, sex and other socioeconomic factors.” From conducting preventive screenings to providing complex procedures, often without charge, the hospital is improving the lives of people in rural India. PRESERVING VISION In its 23 years, the nonprofit Srikiran Institute of Ophthalmology has achieved an impressive record of service: 2,360 screening camps for adults 1,073 screening camps for children 2,170,855 outpatient visits 208,577 surgeries 33
