Govt
yet to formulate proposal for opening up medical services
to foreign players
India, which has to submit its initial proposal to the
World Trade Organisation (WTO) on the areas it intends to
liberalise in the domestic healthcare service sector for foreign
players, has not taken any initiative in this respect either
at the official or industry level.

apathy, fund constraint and poor knowledge plague eye-banking
With more than 600 eye-banks in the country, and a thrust
to have more to cater to the yawning gulf between demand and
supply of corneas, experts point out the dismal medical standards
of the existing eye-banks.
“We
need only one community eye bank in each city”
The answer is “Community Eye Bank”, by which
I mean an eye bank that serves the needs of one entire city.
There is no need for more than one eye bank in each city.
