Telangana's Health Minister announced plans to establish state-wide Eye Care Clinics, with Sarojini Devi Eye Hospital serving as the central hub. These clinics aim to provide continuous, round-the-clock eye care, including surgical referrals, moving beyond the screening-focused Kanti Velugu program. A technical committee will assess disease burden and recommend treatment protocols before final decisions are made on the clinics' structure and operation. The initiative aims to improve upon existing national programs for blindness control.
