ICICI Bank Ltd. and ICICI Foundation have launched a Project for Provision of Eye Medical Equipment for the Rural Underprivileged People suffering from Retinal Eye Disease, in association with Noida’s ICARE Eye Hospital & Postgraduate Institute. The aim is to help treat underprivileged people from rural areas suffering from retinal eye diseases.

As part of the project, 17 vital advanced ophthalmic equipment required to detect and treat common retinal diseases were donated for the underprivileged patients of Ishwar Charitable Trust, Noida, which operates the ICARE Eye Hospital.

Several distinguished guests were present during the event organized at ICARE Eye Hospital to announce the donation. These included Mr. Anuj Agarwal, COO, ICICI Foundation; Mr. Shantanu Sammadar, City Head, ICICI Bank; Mr. Sanjay Chaudhari, Zonal Head – Northwest, ICICI Foundation; Dr. Sushil Choudhry, Founder Trustee, Ishwar Charitable Trust; and Dr. Saurabh Choudhry, CEO of ICARE Eye Hospital.

Speaking at the event, Mr. Sushil Choudhry, Founder Trustee, Ishwar Charitable Trust & ICARE Eye Hospital Noida, said, “People belonging to the underprivileged section of society often tend to ignore minor abnormalities in their vision, which may lead to blindness after a prolonged period. Additionally, with no facility of preventive or curative eye check-ups, they have never been screened for glasses or eye diseases. I would like to extend my gratitude towards ICICI Bank Ltd. and ICICI Foundation for helping us with such advanced ophthalmic equipment to treat our patients at the Ishwar Charitable Trust, Noida.”

Mr. Shantanu Sammadar, City Head, ICICI Bank, said, “ICICI Bank Ltd. and ICICI Foundation hope that the advanced ophthalmic equipment provided through this grant and the highly efficient doctors at ICARE Eye Hospital will help provide appropriate eyecare treatment to the underprivileged people belonging to the rural community suffering from retinal issues. We look forward to similar collaborations.”
