Dr. Sudhir Salhotra: The Soul of MMS Rotary Eye Hospital

Faith, Focus, and Fellowship in Eye Care — Turning the Dream of Light into Reality

In the peaceful town of Maranda, surrounded by lush green tea gardens and located along the Pathankot-Mandi National Highway, stands one of North India’s best eye hospitals — the MMS Rotary Eye Hospital. This hospital has become a ray of hope for lakhs of people. Behind its success is a kind, humble, and hardworking man — Dr. Sudhir Salhotra, the Honourable Director and senior ophthalmologist, who has been serving here for more than twenty years.

Dr. Sudhir is one of the top ten retina surgeons in India. He learned under the guidance of some of the most respected retina specialists in the country. With their support, his own dedication, and God’s blessings, he became an expert in treating even the most difficult eye problems. But what truly makes him special is his kind nature, soft-spoken words, and friendly smile. Many patients say they feel better the moment they meet him — such is the healing power of his presence.

He works with full honesty and heart. Under his leadership, the hospital has become a place not only for treatment but also for learning and innovation. The hospital sees close to one crore OPD patients, and performs thousands of successful surgeries every year. It has helped bring back sight to lakhs of people, truly removing darkness from their lives.

Dr. Sudhir is not only a brilliant doctor, but also a man of values. He is walking in the footsteps of his great parents, who always taught him to help the poor, needy, and helpless. Through this charitable hospital, he is spreading happiness among those who had lost hope.

He is also fulfilling the dream of the hospital’s founder, Late Dr. Shiv Kumar, who wanted to create the best eye hospital in Himachal Pradesh. That dream is now a reality. With a running fellowship program, the hospital has also become a respected institute for training and learning.

Dr. Sudhir Salhotra often works day and night without rest, never thinking about himself. He is truly god-fearing, deeply respected by his team, and loved by his patients. His life and work are a bright example of selfless service and devotion — and his name will always shine in the hearts of those whose world he helped them see again.
