Aravind Eye Care System
Aravind linked village screening, transport, hospital surgery, and follow-up, then added permanent vision centres to periodic camps. Participant records describe the intended care journey, while peer-reviewed studies support narrower findings about uptake, diagnostic accuracy, and surgical outcomes without settling follow-up, worker authority, or equal patient experience.
How can a health system make high-quality eye care affordable at enormous volume without making poor patients accept inferior care?
