This is classic disruption at work. There are many procedures e.g. cataract surgery costs have come down but they are such cash cows that the prices were held high. India is doing this because skills can scale if there is a system of training. It wasn't too long ago when I read the Russians invented a factory-line method of doing eye-surgery.
- jimgardener 13y agoFive years back,my father got both his eyes operated upon for cataract removal at Coimbatore,India as part of some free Eye camp program.This year, my mom had cataract in both eyes surgically corrected in a private hospital in North Kerala.They charged only Rs.9500/- per eye,and the treatment was quite good.Now my Mom has 6/6 vision in both eyes.
