9 VISION CARE FOCUS FOR THE FUTURE To develop the resources required to eable excellet visio care ad positio Idia as a world leader i visio care withi 20 years. umber of idividuals aged over 50, who typically exhibit age-related complicatios 4 ; ad a epidemic of type 2 diabetes mellitus afflictig more tha 101 millio Idias 5 who i tur are expected to exhibit complicatio rates of diabetic retiopathy betwee 17-37% with risk factors 29 times higher for blidess tha persos without diabetes 6. Yet, the itake of optometry schools is ruig well below capacity ad there is miimal developmet of visio care educatioal faculty to offset the esuig bottleecks i skilled huma resources. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY You must be the chage you wish to see i the world. - Mohadas K. Gadhi CONCERNING TRENDS Excellece i visio care delivery is vital for the future of health care i Idia. Yet to achieve excellece, the private visio care sector must take the lead i implemetig a program over the ext 20 years to eable accessibility, develop skilled resources ad iitiate techological iovatio. Idia has oe of the largest populatio of uecessarily blid ad visio impaired idividuals i the world; totalig millio people. This group is geographically widespread, with a vast majority livig i rural areas. Yet, less tha 3% of Idia s 800,000 2 doctors have completed specialist medical traiig i visio care 3, ad for those that have, relatively few live ad practise outside tier I ad II cities. The impact to the Idia ecoomy of lost potetial productivity due to avoidable causes of blidess is estimated to be INR 187,000 crores or $34 billio per aum (2008), with INR 126,500 crores or $23 billio aloe due to ucorrected refractive error 7. Iroically, the Idia visio care idustry which has bee growig strogly i 2012 is projected to be less tha INR 11,000 crores or $2 billio i total aual sales or less tha 2.5% of the total Idia healthcare sector; ad imports more tha 70% of its spectacle eeds, or more tha 50 millio pairs of spectacles from Chia each year. 1.

RECOMMENDATIONS Give the sigificat gap betwee this log term objective ad the results of our market research, we developed a set of five recommedatios. Subsequetly, over a period of four moths, these were fie-tued through a series of cosultatio meetigs with professioal peak bodies ad major idustry players to esure that the pla was made for Idia. Five key recommedatios: 1. Systematically address four fudametal issues: raise public awareess ad build professioal recogitio ramp-up huma resource developmet esure miimum stadards of diagostic ad cliical ifrastructure develop a iovative Idia visio care techology sector 2. Implemet a improvemet program comprisig 16 strategic projects desiged to address the above listed issues over a five year time frame. 3. Establish a goverace structure for facilitatig commuicatio ad co-ordiatio with key stakeholders ad maitai a bias for actio. 4. Raise fudig from cash ad i-kid commitmets from istitutios, corporatios, domestic ad iteratioal doors, ad from the govermet. 5. Cosult idepedet experts to validate the completio of project milestoes ad to assess the quality ad sustaiability of the outcomes delivered. 8. Prof. Brie Holde, February

18 2. SITUATION ASSESSMENT 2.1 OVERVIEW OF HEALTH AND VISION CARE IN INDIA The size of the overall healthcare sector i Idia is estimated to be INR 395,000 crores ($79 billio), with a historical five year growth rate of 17% (CAGR) 10. The forecast shows a impressive growth i the Idia healthcare sector which is expected to cotiue well ito the future to a impressive INR 14,00,000 crores ($280 billio) by However, while the healthcare sector i Idia has grow from stregth to stregth, wide disparities still exist with respect to access. Some poor ad rural residets have almost o access to qualified medical care, while medical tourists as well as wealthy idividuals are ofte able to receive affordable stadard services provided by the growig corporate chai of hospitals. As a stark example of this disparity, i 2010, early 66% of surgeries took place at the urba facilities ihabited by 30% of the populatio. Uless the healthcare services are made more widely accessible, regioal demad is expected to remai largely ufulfilled. For example, people i rural areas ofte suffer from refractive blidess resultig from the prohibitive travel time ad costs of gettig a pair of glasses 12. The eed to serve low-icome idividuals i challegig coditios has hece spurred iovatios such as mobile camps ad optical shops servicig remote villages so that patiets could be examied i their ow surroudigs. total by Based o WHO reports, per capita healthcare spedig is relatively low i Idia: Total expediture o health as % of GDP 4.1% i Total expediture o health / capita at exchage rate $54 Total expediture o health / capita at Purchasig Power Parity (NCU per US$) $ DEMOGRAPHICS The Idia populatio comprises more tha 1.2 billio people with aroud half of the populatio uder the age of Although idividuals, 60 years of age ad older made up oly 8.2% of the populatio i 2010, they are expected to accout for a icreasig share, outpacig growth i the rest of the populatio 14. More tha 70% of Idia s populatio lives i rural areas. While the growth i the urba populatio is expected to outpace growth i the umber of rural ihabitats, the tred towards urbaizatio is less dramatic compared to Chia ad other major developig coutries. 10.

20 3. MARKET RESEARCH 3.1 FINDINGS FROM MARKET RESEARCH AND EXPERT INTERVIEWS Our market research coducted i early 2012 gathered fresh isights from a broad spectrum of idividuals ad ivolved coductig more tha 300 iterviews across the visio care sector icludig: Cliicias Allied health workers Professioal bodies Visio care educators Idustry players The geeral public of Idia Fidigs from this research together with data from secodary research sources were grouped ito five key areas to provide roud-out our situatio assessmet: Visio care huma resource gaps Optometry educatio istitutes Optometry as a professio Optical shops ad cliics Visio care idustry VISION CARE HUMAN RESOURCE GAPS Idia has approximately 9,000 four-year traied ad 40,000 two-year traied optometrists ad 12,000 ophthalmologists. Based o WHO guidelies of 1:10,000, Idia will have a cotiuous shortfall of aroud 70,000 traied optometrists through Idia s shortfall i traied optometrists appears to be offset by more tha 60,000 o-qualified optical techicias. 3.3 OPTOMETRY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTES 125 istitutes providig optometry educatio i Idia with 86 four-year bachelor programs ad 52 two-year diploma programs are maaged by these istitutios (some schools offerig both bachelor ad diploma courses). Optometry schools deliverig four-year Bachelor ad two-year diploma programs have a average studet itake of aroud 63% versus their theoretical teachig capacity. Prelimiary data idicates that 51% of optometry schools surveyed had the miimum required teachig ad cliical ifrastructure versus 64% of ophthalmology istitutes. The Associatio of Schools ad Colleges of Optometry-Idia (ASCO) is takig steps to stadardise a Idia optometry curriculum. While there are curretly o formally agreed policies, stadards for optometry-specific faculty teachig qualificatios required i Idia, ASCO-Idia has recetly drafted faculty guidelies for cosideratio. 3.4 OPTOMETRY AS A PROFESSION Ophthalmologists ad Ophthalmic Assistats are recogised by the govermet of Idia ad are regulated as visio care professioals. Optometrists are ot yet recogised as healthcare professioals by the Govt. of Idia. Optometrists i 47 other coutries are however, recogised as healthcare professioals i accordace with WHO guidelies.

21 3.5 OPTICAL SHOPS AND CLINICS 76% of people seekig primary eye care typically go directly to the retail opticia for their visio care eeds. Aroud 5% of the INR 4500 crores ($900 millio) optical market i Idia is served by fully equipped, orgaised optical outlets; the remaider of the market is served through uorgaised chaels 19. There are more tha 10,000 specialty eye care cetres ad 90,000 retail optical shops estimated across Idia. Specialty eye care cetres are typically oversee by a ophthalmologist i Idia. The majority of optometrist are two-year traied. The failure rate of fittig high-ed progressive leses is aroud 15-20% i Idia. 3.6 VISION CARE INDUSTRY Three o-profit etities have bee established to improve the professioal developmet ad coordiatio of optometry i Idia: Idia Optometry Federatio; Associatio of Schools ad Colleges of Optometry-Idia; Idia Visio Istitute. Startig salaries of INR 10,000 to INR 15,000 ($200 - $300) per moth for Optometry graduates are typical ad ca be doubled by four-year traied graduates workig i private istitutes after oe year. The curret size of the Idia optical market is estimated to be aroud INR 11,000 crores ($2 billio) based o prior reports 20 ad recet feedback o growth i demad from the optical sector. Spectacle frames ad leses Itra-ocular leses Lasik Cotact les market Suglasses Historically, frames ad leses have made up the bulk of the optical idustry i Idia. The vast majority of visio care products ad equipmet used i Idia are imported from US, Italy, Frace, Japa, Chia ad Australia. Local idustry lacks scale ad iovatio. 19.

22 4. RECOMMENDATIONS Five key recommedatios are made based o the sigificat gap which exists betwee the Strategic Pla 20 year visio ad 10 year goals, versus the curret state of visio care i Idia. 1.Systematically address four fudametal issues: raise public awareess ad build professioal recogitio ramp-up huma resource developmet esure that miimum stadards of diagostic equipmet ad cliical ifrastructure are available for schools develop a iovative Idia visio care techology sector 2. Implemet 16 strategic projects desiged to address these issues over a five year time frame. 3. Establish a goverace structure for implemetatio that facilitates commuicatio ad co-ordiatio while at the same time maitais a bias for actio. 4. Raise fudig from cash ad i-kid commitmets from istitutios, corporatios, domestic ad iteratioal doors, ad from the govermet. 5. Seek expert advice to validate the completio of project milestoes ad to assess the quality ad sustaiability of the outcomes delivered. 19
