As a responsible corporate citizen, OCl India limited, Rajgangpur in association with the premier Hyderabad-headquartered l V Prasad Eye Institute brought to existence the OCl Eye Centre last year as another noble attempt to support prevailing healthcare scenario in the region with specialist eye care services powered by advanced ophthalmic technologies. Keeping in mind the scarcity of ophthalmologists in the remote areas, the initiative was applauded at all levels.

Commenting on the completion of one year of OCl Eye Care Centre, OCl India limited Executive Director Ganesh Jirkuntwar said, “We are proud of our association with l V Prasad Eye Institute in realising the dream of a healthy and sustainable environment which is critically important to our society, economy, business and our people.”

“It has been a great privilege working closely with lV Prasad Eye Institute, Hyderabad, one of the most respected names in ocular care, in bringing advanced eye care facilities to the people of Rajgangpur and Sundargarh district at large. In our first year of operations the eye care centre has created a benchmark by catering to nearly 15,000 patients in both Out Patient Department and patients who required eye surgeries. Today as we celebrate our first step towards our dream, we reiterate our commitment to make Sundargarh a blind free district by 2020,” he said.

lV Prasad Eye Institute vice chairman Dr Taraprasad Das said, “The hospital is well-equipped with state of the art medical equipment and experienced doctors. With time this centre will be known all over the country for its uniqueness and quality.”
