Dr. San Murugesan of Sydney again referred me another interesting post by Prof. Vijay Govindarajan and S. Manikutty with a title, “What Poor Countries Can Teach Rich Ones About Health Care”. This is an interesting presentation on the achievements of Aravind Hospital of Madurai, Tamil Nadu, India. Since, I knew the contributions of Dr.G.V from the 1960s and later of Dr.P.Namperumalsamy, the current CEO of AH, I wrote a comment with enthusiasm. You are most welcome to Prof.V.G’s post and share your experience and/or comments.

Dear Sakthidaran,
(I have also posted my following comments at VG’s orginal blog mentioned in your blog above)
Thank you for sharing some “first-hand” insights about Aravind Hospital, its vision and strategy and commitments of its founder, CEOs and staff. Also thanks for responding to queries posed in others comments. Much appreciated. Of course, I profusely thank Prof VG for shedding light on this successful and beneficial initiative that serve masses through his blog, for the benefit global community of executives, managers and professional.
I believe, we all – whatever we are, whatever our profession and whatever we do – can learn something from this successful case that helps the masses and apply in practice. I would like to just reiterate Sakthi’s salient comments:
If at all you want to emulate, develop the passion for serving the masses without discrimination “taking from each what they can afford but give them the best uniformly”. Based on this principle, you have to build your own organization that suits your eco-system. You don’t have to look for a model else where. You observe or identify a problem worth addressing, and took it as an opportunity and a commitment to address it by simple means with what is possible, and continuously refine your solution(s) and the process to serve better, still keeping the vision and passion intact.
Professor San Murugesan
Sydney
