Abstract: Aravind eye hospitals, (a $11 million venture) based in Madurai, India, is one of the largest eye hospitals in the world, and in terms of scale, the single largest provider of eye surgeries. Started as an 11-bed hospital by Dr. G. Venkataswamy, the Aravind conglomerate now consists of hospitals, an intraocular lens manufacturing unit and community development and research institutes. Though two-thirds of the surgeries are performed free of charge, Aravind is financially self-sufficient. A high level of efficiency in all its activities is seen as one of the secrets behind Aravind's success. |
