Sankara Nethralaya has officially opened its new Modular OT complex, located on our JKCN campus’ 2nd floor, HTP block, as of August 22, 2024 with an official pooja. This state-of-the-art facility marks a milestone in Sankara Nethralaya’s commitment to delivering exceptional ophthalmic care and addressing the evolving needs of both patients and staff.

Constructed in just five months, the new Modular OT complex includes three additional operating theatres dedicated to anterior segment surgeries. This expansion is set to alleviate the previous shortage of full-day OT slots, thus supporting consultants in providing more specialized care. Operations in the new OT complex are expected to be started in the first week of September.

The new facility falls in line with the latest advancements in hospital design, aiming to enhance operational efficiency while minimizing disruption to ongoing services.

The Mahyco Block OT complex in our Padma Bhushan Dr. S. S. Badrinath Campus, a cornerstone of Sankara Nethralaya since 1991, conducted its final surgeries on August 24, 2024.

Sankara Nethralaya extends its gratitude to the donors who played a crucial role in the construction of this new OT complex. Their support has been instrumental in bringing this project to fruition.

The new Modular OT complex is anticipated to enhance surgical capabilities and patient care, marking an important milestone in Sankara Nethralaya’s journey.
