By spotting hearing loss in children early on and offering life-changing surgery, The Hans Foundation (THF) has helped over 900 children with its Cochlear Implant Programme.
Dr Sandra Desa Souza, the first Indian doctor to perform cochlear implant surgery, has performed surgery on underprivileged children with hearing impairments, winning a place in the Limca Book of World Records and a Padma Shri for her endeavours.
