Activity Description: Aravind Eye Hospital performs low-cost or free cataract surgeries for poor Indians. Through the construction of a lens factory and innovative management of the medical staff that increases efficiency, Avarind Eye Hospital is able to profitably serve thousands of very poor Indians.

An excellent summary [3] of the Aravind Eye Care System is available via Chad Weinman's web site. Must-read for anyone interested in this innovative model. (Used with permission)
