Aravind started in 1976 as an 11-bed eye clinic in an old temple-city. Today it is the largest and most productive eye care facility in the world. Taking its compassionate services to the doorstep of rural India, Aravind's stunningly effective strategies vaulted barriers of distance, poverty and ignorance to create a self-sustaining system that now treats over 1.7 million patients each year, two-thirds of them, for free.

    The work Dr. Venkataswamy and his colleagues are doing is truly inspirational and nothing short of amazing.

    SIRTONY, you are absolutely right. We have a huge need for his kind of reform in Western healthcare institutions. It boggles the mind that in India, a place where the average income is relatively minimal, they are able to serve the community free of charge. The section talking about the lens prices really hits home. Western lens $200, Indian lens $5. Profit is not king. We need to change.

    I learned of Arivind from a biophotonics workshop at the U of I. I think this program is a great manifestation that it doesn't take 10 years to learn how to do a surgery. It just takes volunteer power, commitment, and the willingness to be steady and careful.

    Go Arivind! (from a Muslim:)

    The word "needless" is actually a direct translation of a hindi word :)
