Expanding Eye Care Services through Managed Hospitals:
Having succeeded in building the capacity of over 200 eye hospitals through a consultancy process, Aravind Eye Hospitals and LAICO are moving one step ahead to provide management services to eye hospitals in areas of need in India and other parts of the world. The long term plan is to grow in capacity to reach out to a larger population in need through a network of 100 managed eye hospitals.
The reason for this shift is, that in many situations in which the eye hospitals having the required resources or the potential to get them, don’t have the team with competence to develop systematic ways of working to utilise these resources optimally and to provide better services to their community. These are situations where mere consultancy programmes alone are inadequate to develop these hospitals.
And hence, the new concept of Managed Eye Hospitals has been introduced.
In this model once an agreement is reached by Aravind to help establish and manage an eye hospital it is done by sending Aravind’s own human resource and by putting in place, the time tested systems and process practiced in Aravind Eye Hospital.
