Quality Initiatives

Patients safety and well-being shall always be our top priority. We shall strive for continuous quality improvement and complying with the international standards to implement quality systems. We shall strive for maintaining high level of staff satisfaction and motivation always.

Quality has been the by word in our service. All patients receive the same care at our Hospitals. Trained professionals who have the physical infrastructure readily available to them render state-of-the art care.

To ensure quality, we earnestly follow systems and procedures and are the first ISO 9002 certified Eye Hospital in Asia. We have introduced TQM policies and have been recently audited by BVQI who have recommended re-certification to us.

In the Jagdguru Sri Kanchi Chandrasekarendra Saraswathi Nethra Nilayam, through the Jaslok Community Ophthalmology Centre almost 10,000 cataract surgeries are performed totally free of cost amounting to 50% of all cataract surgeries done in the complex. The addition of the new complex has made it possible to now offer 'walk in' services for cataract surgeries.

We have trained more than 300 Ophthalmologists all over the country.

Thanks to innovative information technology devices, expertise of Sankara Nethralaya would be available to all service providers. Through innovative telemedicine approaches, basic facilities would be made available all over Tamil Nadu. We shall continue to practice "non-commercial" medicine. We shall preach 'institutional practice' - as it results in scientific practice and inculcates 'team work' culture. We believe that collective functioning yields better results. We shall offer education that sharpens the analytical mind, builds character and cultivates responsibility in each individual for his or her work.

The concepts of Nethralaya are unique. Describing it as a “privatized public sector" would be apt. But perhaps the best description of Sankara Nethralaya would be the "physical perception of a divine will".
