Introduction

• Aravind Eye Hospitals are the series of eye treatment hospitals in India. It was found in 1976 by Dr. Govindappa Venkataswami at Madurai, Tamil Nadu. The hospitals were named after Sri Aurobindo, a freedom fighter and spiritual leader from India. By studying the above case study, we came to know about the ethical practices carried out by the hospital to give vision to everyone.

SITUATION ANALYSIS• Aravind eye hospitals are acting as an ethical

symbol for the society by giving the sight to millions of blind people in India. The problem of cataract related blindness was major in India with at least 4 million cases every year .

• A small non profit hospital with twenty beds was started but due to the ethical practices followed by this hospital it became the number one hospital to perform the highest number of eye surgeries in the world.

CONT…..• The procedures of this hospital are so efficient that it

earns a gross profit of 40 percent, despite the fact that 70 percent of the patients pay nothing or close to nothing.

• This hospital provide same type of quality treatment to the patients who pay full amount and who pay nothing. Dr. V had divided the operations of the Aravind Eye Hospitals into two facilities, which are located near each other- one for patients who can pay for the amenities and the other for the patients who cannot and have to be treated free of cost. Although the amenities are different in these two places, but both share the same staff of doctors and nurses, ensuring high quality medical care for all.
