...partial publication of this document without the express, written consent IE is prohibited. INTRODUCTION Improving efficiency in health care is an acute issue. In the developed world this is due to increases in costs and quality issues (Aptel and Pourjalali, 2001; Spear, 2005); Western Europe currently spends 9% of its GDP on health care, and, if the trend continues, will spend over 20% by the year 2050 (Drouin et al., 2008.) In the developing world on the other hand demand exceed capacity; it was estimated that in 1997 over 12 million people were blind in India from cataracts, while a further 3.8 million new cases are developed each year, and current capacity for surgery is far below this level (Thulasiraj et al., 1997.) Better health care operations are clearly required to deal with issues of ageing population, increased costs and unmet demand. One case that provides clues to such means is Aravind, the largest eye care provider in the world, with over 2.5 million operations performed and 20 million patients treated in the last thirty years. An Indian non-for-profit organization in which two thirds of the patients are treated for free, Aravind attends its goals by strict attention to cost optimization. THE STORY OF DR. V Dr. Govindappa Venkataswamy (known as Dr. V) retired at age 58 from a life in public health as an ophthalmologist in India. He then started, with his sister and brother in law, an 11...

...MODULE-5 Marketing Notes 20 MARKETING MIX I n the previous lesson you learnt that marketing identifies consumers’ needs and supplies various goods and services to satisfy those needs most effectively. So the businessman needs to: (a) produce or manufacture the product according to consumers’ need; (b) make available it at a price that the consumers’ find reasonable; (c) supply the product to the consumers at different outlets they can conveniently approach; and (d) inform the consumers about the product and its characteristics through the media they have access to. So the marketing manager concentrates on four major decision areas while planning the marketing activities, namely, (i) products, (ii) price, (iii) place (distribution) and (iv) promotion. These 4 ‘P’s are called as elements of marketing and together they constitute the marketing mix. All these are inter-related because a decision in one area affects decisions in other areas.

Bakke filed suit, alleging that this admissions system violated the Equal Protection Clause and excluded him on the basis of race. The parties that were involved in the case were Allan Bakke, Supreme Court, Justice Powell, and also the Blacks, Chicanos, Asians, American Indians. The case had taken place by the Supreme Court of the United States which was argued on October 12, 1977, and was decided on June 28, 1978. Before the Supreme Court began when Allan Bakke applied at The Medical School of the University of California at Davis which had two admissions programs for entering the class of 100 students the regular admissions program and the special admissions program.

...and its intricacies, the more I am fascinated by how it responds to illness and injury and how doctors can transform a patient's life. During my work experience at John Radcliffe Children’s Hospital, I spent time with medical students, junior doctors and consultants in different specialities, which gave me an overview of the healthcare system. In a multidisciplinary meeting for a child with complex regional pain syndrome, I recognised the importance of effective communication. With the expertise of different disciplines, a better understanding was gained of the patient's individual case and the treatment options available. I noticed that the style of communication is important to engage young children, which I applied while volunteering at Lighthouse Children's Camp. My learning proved effective as the children talked to me in confidence about their feelings regarding starting secondary school and I offered them reassurance and advice. Working as a healthcare assistant and phlebotomist at Crosby House Surgery has been an enjoyable challenge to engage with patients of varying ages and backgrounds. Helping out with different aspects of primary care has given me a broader...
