A Business with a Spiritual Consciousness – Aravind Eye Hospital
Created by Dr Venkataswamy 37 years ago, the Aravind Eye Hospital operates on a simple mission; to provide compassion & charity to healthcare.
The hospital began with a simple idea in a sparse 11-bed hospital with four doctors. It would serve patients who could pay, but the profits would allow free care & hospital transportation to the many more people who couldn’t even afford the bus fare.
The hospital\’s mission & vision was driven by the dream to create tangible services & a self-sustaining health-care model in ophthalmology. Dr Venkatswamy\’s beliefs & sincere aspirations for love, compassion, joy & charity are woven throughout the Aravind Eye Care system & come alive in each of the organisation’s activities.
ConsciousLab invites you to share this wonderful evening with us to understand Aravind\’s genesis & growth, its development, values & of course, how we can emulate them in our own lives.
