HR PRACTICE AT AECS

It trains mid-level ophthalmic personnel, mostly women from villages, who are trained in a two-year course

These women never had the chance to go to college, now they get the opportunity to enter the work stream as mid-tier technicians.

Surgeons perform six to eight operations per hour on an assembly line basis with the support of internally-trained mid-level ophthalmic personnel.”

“AECS has well-evolved in-house training operations

It runs programs to develop ophthalmologists, paramedics, eye care managers and support service personnel

Continuous education has helped existing workers widen their skills.

Intelligence and capability are not enough. There must also be the joy of doing something beautiful. Being of service to God and humanity means going well beyond the sophistication of the best technology, to the humble demonstration of courtesy and compassion to each patient.
