Sankara Eye Care Institution was recognised for their national excellence in quality healthcare by the IMC Ramkrishna Bajaj National Quality Performance Excellence Trophy 2013 at their recently held award ceremony in Mumbai. Dr RV Ramani, Founder and Managing Trustee of Sankara Eye Care Institutions India received the award on behalf of Team Sankara, which was presented by Arun Maira, Member, Planning Commission, Government of India. Sankara was the only healthcare institution amongst others to win the award.
The IMC Ramkrishna Bajaj National Quality Award 2013 saw the presence of experts from the industry, including Dr Devi Prasad Shetty, Chairman, Narayan Hridayalaya Group of Hospitals; Meenal Kshirsagar, Retired Reader French, University of Mumbai; K Maheshwari, MD, GRASIM; Dr Adi Dastur, Obstetrician and Gynacologist; Dr KB Kushal, DAV regional directorate; Prasad Menon, Tata Quality Management services and Sunil Alagh, SKA advisor on the panel of judges.
Expressing his views on the occasion, Dr Ramani said, “One can easily understand the need for quality in a manufacturing or trading industry without which they lose on the competitive advantage. But in a service industry, that too where charity is the mainstay, as in Sankara Eye Care Institutions India, where unmatched quality with high ethical standards is the very DNA of the organisation, recognising and appreciating the excellence at the right time is of greater significance.”
“Awards and recognitions like this are not only great morale boosters for the organisation concerned, but by projecting the same, we are able to motivate many more to tread a similar path, concluded Dr Ramani.
