evidence: Thanks for bringing this one to my attention - I would also like to share the story of AIIMS set up by Amritananadmayi Ma that offers millions in free treatments every year (with cutting edge therapies -e.g. hand transplants) Soon they will opening a similar hospital in Delhi where the need is great and options for low cost or free care are limited - very encouraging. Also look at the great work by Arvind Netralaya that has been a pioneer in reshaping eye surgery processes and practices - and many more - be a good area for research or a case study
