It is therefore important that hospitals and health centres that offer diabetic care...

I am a clinician and have seen the definition of diabetes change over time. First from Juvenile and adult onset to the current type 1 and 2. Many still confuse these classifications.
Secondly, confusion still exists in my mind on the cause: genetics, environment, lifestyle? I need a coherent approach in order to help my patients and the community that I... -

I am an eye care practitioner. I am joining this course because of the magnitude of diabetic eye disease I encounter daily in my practice. My expectation is to gain more understanding in general principles in care of the diabetic patient, not just the eye.

We use an integrated approach in delivery of outreach services. We provide ready-made reading spectacles but advice those with significant refractive errors to visit our centre. Employing technicians for field work would considerable increase cost. Once a proper prescription is done, spectacles are delivered to the outreach centre on a pre-arranged date....

The Aravind model is quite appealing but cultural habits may derail its implementation in our part of the world where the the rich are not ashamed to seek "free"services. However, increasing the number of surgeries per operating day has worked well to some extent. Still there is room for improvement.

Learning today is more fun. Whereas in the past students in the village depended entirely on the teacher as the source of knowledge, today books, Newspapers the internet are available to the majority of students.

There was time for work, play and relaxation for each category of members of the community. Challenging because technology was poorly applied to make life easy.
Today, life is...

The CSR is surely not adequate for Zrenya. A target of 2000 surgeries per year is not impossible but should be reached gradually, say, over two to three years. With two ophthalmologists, they should lobby for at least two operating days and aim for one thousand cases for year one, increasing to 4 surgical days for 2000 (each surgeon in theatre on alternate...
