Description
By 1982 the activities of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Medical Trust had grown very diverse and grown well At this juncture the Acharyas advised DrRamani to establish Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Medical Trust exclusively to oversee health activities A board of Trustees were appointed and have continued to guide its activities ever since
In 1985 a new chapter in the history of the trust was waiting to be born under the leadership of Dr Ramani and the persuasion and deep commitment of many doctors especially Dr SBalasubramaniam the idea of focusing on a specialised area of medical care emerged The incidences of preventable and curable blindness in India was very high during the 1980s and there was much that could be done
Naturally the 1010 sqftclinic would not do for such a lofty dream Providence would not have it that way either A good friend of Dr Ramani ShriNatraj came forward and donated 55 acres of land in Sivanandapuram in Saravanampatty area of Coimbatore Back then this area was a remote hamlet very unlike the buzzing IT centre that it has become today The entire land was covered in Parthenium and far removed from the rest of the city Again help came in the form of friends Soon a fencing was erected around the land and coconut trees were planted alongside the fence A bore well was also sunk and on another side of the fence avenue trees were planted as well The residential quarters in the hospital premises were lined with suitable plants as well
Construction of the hospital that was to be named Sankara Eye Hospital was yet to begin This is when Dr SV Balasubramaniam both a visionary and philanthropist came forward to donate a Toyota van and construct a 1000 sqfeet consultation centre Vedanayagam centre within the premises The van was used for the Trusts outreach programmes
From that beginning there was no looking back To the team at Sankara Eye Care was going to be a longterm mission Therefore every facet of construction be it the 10 feet wide corridors the H type architecture that segregates outpatient care from diagnostics and inpatient care paving way for natural light to come in or demarcating the support activities such as the canteen and purchase areas from the main hospital were planned keeping the future in mind The architecture and construction remains relevant even today
