Established by Dr V as a 11 bed hospital at Madurai in 1976.
Dr V served Army Medical Corps from 1944 to 1948
Trained himself to do microsurgery and technique ofIntraocular Lens (IOL) insertion.
AECS Policy To serve paying as well as free patients.
Close control of costs, high productivity of doctors andachieving high volumes
AECS vital components - Values and spirituality Mr. R.D. Thulasiraj (Executive & IT Director at LAICO)
Our operational model is heavily dependent on work culturevalues.The systems are built in our basic values.

Focused on cataract surgery.
Established 2 bed system of operation to increaseproductivity of doctors. Productivity rate of doctor 25 surgeries/day/doctor in contrast to
general avg of 5-6 surgeries/day/doctor. High quality surgical and medical equipments used.
Manufactured IOLs in house at Aurolab.
Cost of Imported IOL $80 andAurolabsIOL $5.
60% of surgeries were done free or almost free. AECS grew quickly
In 1997 - 1,23,095 Surgeries and 9,75,868 Outpatients per year In 2003 - 2,02,066 Surgeries and 14,50,000 Outpatients per year

AESC did not consider the number of beds to be animportant parameter as most of the cataract patients weredischarged the same day.
Also, no. of mats had been converted to regular cots, andthe average stay of the patient had reduced.
Hence the no. of surgeries done was a more meaningfulindicator of its impact than the no. of beds

AECS also organized diabetic retinopathy (DR) camps,refractive error camps, eye screening camps for schoolchildren, pediatric camps, and mobile van DR screeningcamps.
AECS had also setup its training institute, Aravind Post-Graduate Institute of Ophthalmology (APGIM) whichoffered PG program, fellowship program for superspecialization and Ophthalmic Assistants training.
Its manufacturing arm, Aurolab, produced IOLs andmedical consumables for eye care, like sutures andmedications at low cost.

AECS achieved economies of scale by providing medicalconsumables to other hospitals and ophthalmologistsoutside AECS since its inception.
This was also in consonance with its mission of elimination
of needless blindness. This helped many hospitals not only in India but also
abroad to conduct surgeries at a much lower cost.
Some of the pioneering products from Aurolabs are:
Auroflex-EV, negative aspheric IOLs for better contrast andvisibility in low light conditions, green laser photocoagulators etc.

Diabetic Retinotherapy (DR) that included controlof diabetes,refraction correction and prevention andtreatment of glaucoma.
Unlike cataract,DR was preventable Focus on prevention and early attention then cure,
effective screening for diabetes and monitoring ofthe patients.
Glaucoma if left untreated also lead to blindness.
Refraction correction too had become an importantarea of concern.

Doctors salaries were becoming highly competitive .
They were looking for opportunities to establish therename and in particular, looking for opportunities to doresearch , publish papers , to take part in conferenceand network among peers .
These would increase doctors competences and alsothe hospitals visibility .

Four types of eye camps:
1. Traditional comprehensive eye camps
2. Diabetic retinopathy(DR) screening camps
(Mobile van screening camps)
3. Refraction Camps
4. School Eye Screening Camps
Camps provided a benefit of increased reach and number of
patients attended
Still only 85 of the people requiring screens were being screened

optional 1 day/week off- international conferences etc.- aretention strategy.
Research- a source of funds: about Rs 15million (2008-09). Brand new research facility -in 2008- Dr.G. Venkataswamy Eye

Ouremphasis is to be at par with the best eye hospitals in the world
without diluting our vision....We see our activities in four broad areas-
paediatric eye care, cataract, retinopathy, glaucoma, and refraction
- Dr. Nam
They have plenty resources and therefore various options are
available.
We are a highly mission driven set of people. Resources are not the
only consideration in deciding the direction of growth
- Dr. Kim

There were a number of directions that AECS could take; the real
problem was one of prioritization. The various directions ,as
suggested by the key personnel at Aravind eye care, are as follows:
a) According to Dr. Nam:
Diabetes is a challenge. To reach 46 million diabetics in India , innovative
methods are needed. E.g. Paramedic
Cataract prevention, refraction correction, glaucoma, etc. Will become
important.
Thus, Dr. Nam said, Weneed to move in multiple directions.

b) According to Mr. Thulasiraj:
We have a tremendous opportunity in the treatment of refractive errors.Wecan set up a network of Refraction Centers.
He also saw big opportunity in training. He saw opportunities in LAICO.
There will also be a Projects Division to manage research projects.
c) According to Dr. Aravind:
Resources are not a problem. The challenge today is our aspiration, not ourresources. How do we retain the same hunger and the same passion?
Dr. Thulasiraj also shared similar concern- We have to address mindset issues.We are diffident about moving out of our comfort zone.

There were different views on whether and how to grow beyond Tamil
Nadu. They are as follows:
1. Concerns about culture:
a) Dr. Nam felt that expansion to other Indian states is an issue. He said
Culture is an important issue for us. Speaking about his concerns, he
further said Westill have our doubts on the feasibility of transmission of
values like compassionate care
b) Dr. Kim and Mr. Thulasiraj shared similar concern about culture
transferability. Dr. Kim said Business models should not obscure our
hospitalsgrowth model..

8/14/2019 sm2ppt- Team 8.pptx
41/46
2. AECS executives saw opportunities to expand globally in certain
activities
a) According to Dr. Nam: DR (Diabetes Retinopathy) can be studied
adopting a global approach.
b) Dr. Kim We are moving into research , especially in specialities.
We have to give new services that are currently not available but
necessary for eye care to stay ahead of competition .
c) Mr. Thulasiraj said We have a global opportunity. There are 135
countries in the world with a population of less than 20 million each.
Wecan thus give our knowledge and offer our services in many of
these countries.

8/14/2019 sm2ppt- Team 8.pptx
42/46
A major challenge was to develop a large cadre of doctors,
nurses and paramedics, especially because they had to beimbibed with the right values. The various challenges are:
1. Training:
a) Dr. Nam said We need to train more ophthalmologistsin DR surgical procedures. Knowledge management isimportant. We are doing this through our Virtual
Academy.
b) Dr. Kim said that MLOP (Middle Level OphthalmicPersonnel) training is becoming an important activity.

8/14/2019 sm2ppt- Team 8.pptx
43/46
2. Developing next generation:
Dr. Aravind said, theolder generation is now in thesixties. And except for a few, the younger generationis in forties. There could be a situation when theyounger generation would have to take overresponsibilities before they are fully ready.
AECS is preparing itself for the same. For example,LAICO is developing a cadre of managers for AECS.
-
8/14/2019 sm2ppt- Team 8.pptx
44/46
It is important to use the right metrics when we are trying to measure the
success of any venture. In this case AECS changed their metric from no. ofbeds to no. of surgeries.
Having a long term mission and making sure all the activities are directedtowards the fulfillment of those missions are important if an organizationwants to succeed in the long run.
It is necessary to have standardized processes as it helps in increasing theefficiency as well as helps in reducing the overall operating cost.
For any organization to sustain its necessary to have a foresight, also theyshould be able to sense the future roadblocks to success and thereforeshould try to minimize future risks by undertaking preemptive actions.
-
8/14/2019 sm2ppt- Team 8.pptx
45/46
Standardization of processes is essential as it results in operational efficiency and lowoperational costs.
More awareness needs to be created among people about eye care since few people knowabout it.
More focus is now given to Lasik and other eye surgeries.
Research is extremely essential for development of robust technology and practices inmedical sector.
The firms need to be ready to overcome constraints like geography to tap opportunities.
Learning can be used as a very effective retention tool.
One should always look forward to give back to society with whatever is in onesreach.
