Effective Management of Eye Hospitals

26th October - 7th November

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The existing global economic scenario recognizes optimal resource utilization as the prime factor in the effective and the efficient management of eye care hospitals. VISION 2020 - The Right to Sight estimates that the utilization of current infrastructure is 25% and has set an optimal utilization target of 90%. It is conservatively estimated that about 1000 institutions are providing eye care in South East Asia. Many of these hospitals have the potential to significantly enhance their service to the community in terms of volume and quality by adopting improved management strategies and clinical services. Tremendous cost savings are possible for eye care programs if the focus is shifted to efficient management of existing resources.

This certificate course on ‘Effective Management of Eye Hospitals” is specially developed to address this opportunity.
