Eyecare: A Best Buy in Healthcare
The global nonprofit eyecare organization, Seva Foundation, just released a groundbreaking study in the Bulletin of the World Health Organization. Using cost-benefit analysis, the report “meticulously and transparently quantifies the return on investment of 21 identified studies across 10 low-and-middle-income countries”.
It’s results prove that every dollar spent on
refractive error or cataract correction returns $36 in benefits.
That’s six times more efficient
than the typical development intervention!
