Chiranjiv Medical Foundation, with the help of HCL Uday, organized Ear Screening camps at Chetna NGO Sarfabad, Uttar Pradesh, and Rasta NGO Sarfabad, Uttar Pradesh on 1st October 2022 and 17th October 2022 wherein 69 and 76 children were screened respectively.
Entirely 81 females and 56 males were screened in both camps.
Out of the total of 145 children screened 35 children were found to have an ear infection affecting their hearing and requiring treatment. All the children with infections were provided with medicines by CMF and instructed in the administration of the medicine.
Four of the children, with more severe symptoms, have been called to our ENT clinic for further evaluation by an ENT surgeon.
IREDA Limited, has also contributed to CMF’s Cochlear Implant program for FY 2022-2023. IREDA joins ConCor, Sterling Tools Limited, and HCL Corporation in the list of companies supporting CMF through their CSR funds in FY 2022-2023.

ConCor joins Sterling Tools Limited and HCL Corporation in the list of companies supporting CMF through their CSR funds in FY 2022-2023.
CMF is delighted to announce the completion of an important milestone in our efforts to bring high quality, life changing medical treatment to children from low-income families. In January 2022, CMF completed Cochlear Implant surgical treatment for fifty children with early onset severe hearing disability, at a cost of approximately Rs. 3.5 Cr.
In India, Four in every thousand children suffer from severe to profound hearing loss. With over 100,000 babies that are born with hearing deficiency every year. Without hearing, a child cannot develop speech and language, leading to severe mental disability.
For suitable patients, a Cochlear Implant is a life-transforming procedure. Probably one of the best inventions in the recent history of medical science, it is the first device that can restore one of the five senses. However, at a cost ranging from Rs. 8 – 12 lakhs, such treatment is out of reach for low-income families.
Through our Deafness program, Chiranjiv Medical Foundation evaluates children with severe hearing disability and identifies those that will benefit from Cochlear Implant surgery. After a thorough clinical and social evaluation, CMF provides funding for the surgery as well as post-surgical auditory rehabilitation for one year.
We are profoundly grateful to our corporate donors: HCL Corporation, ConCor Corporation, and Sterling Tools Limited, for their continuous support for this program.
HCL Corporation, a long-time supporter of Chiranjiv Medical Foundation, has further extended its support of our Cochlear Implant Program. Chiranjiv Medical Foundation and HCL’s collaboration will include screening camps to identify children with severe hearing disability, followed by the treatments required. We are immensely grateful to HCL for their continued support and mentorship.
