Attur Rasi Seeds Camp Set a Record
Salem, 27th September 2026
The Mega Free Eye Camp, organised by Aravind-Salem in association with Rasi Foundation, witnessed a remarkable record of 617 surgeries performed in a single day.
The camp received an excellent response from the community, with a total of 1,512 outpatients screened by the Aravind medical team. Of these, 627 patients were selected for cataract surgery, and nearly 250 patients were provided with spectacles as per their requirements. Twenty-seven patients were referred to Aravind-Salem for comprehensive evaluation and further management.
The event was particularly significant as two surgeons from Aravind-Salem’s Paediatric Ophthalmology & Adult Strabismus Services, Dr. R. Janani and Dr. A. Saranya, individually performed more than 100 surgeries during the camp. This camp marked a significant achievement for Aravind-Salem and the Rasi Foundation, Attur.
