Discuss About the Aravind History and Challenges (The Blindness problem)

 



When talking about Aravind, first it should probably talk about the Aravind Hospital. The Aravind Eye hospital was founded in the year of 1976 which has only 11 beds in a small hospital in India, Madurai, Tamil Nadu. The founder of Aravind Eye Hospital was Dr. Govindappa Venkataswamy or also known as Dr. V. Dr. V expressed that he created the Aravind Eye Hospital with the vision to implement a solution to solve and ease the problem of blindness in India. 

 

Based on the investigation about the number of cases of blindness in India, it can be found that there are at least 4 million cases reported every year in India. This number of cases is nearly a quarter number of blindness cases in the world. It can also be found that the major blindness problem is caused by the cataract which is mainly caused by lack of proper nutrition and because of the tropical weather.

 

Nonetheless, many of the Indian people were not able to pay for the intervention and surgery and choose to ignore the eye problem. Based on the data in the year 2006, it was about 25% of the Indian People were under the poverty line which means their income level is too low compared with the basic income level. Although the people under the poverty line who are unable to make the payment for medical is been permitted to accept free surgery at government-run district hospitals. However, India is a wide nation which has over millions of people, it had become an impossible fact to serve all patient and solve all disease.

 

Until today, Aravind Eye Hospitals have improved and develop much. Aravind today has successfully grown into a mature and complete network which includes the postgraduate institute, a management training and consulting institute, eye care facilities, research institute eye banks. Moreover, in South India, there are also thirteen eye hospitals, seventy-five primary eye care facilities, six outpatient eye examination centers.
