Eye bank
The National Programme for Control of Blindness (NPCB) was launched in India in 1976 with the objective of promoting eye banking activities. The goals are to reduce blindness prevalence and establish infrastructure to meet annual new blindness cases. Eye banks are non-profit organizations that collect, store, and distribute corneas for transplantation, research, and supplying other eye tissues. They have medical and administrative sections and require facilities, trained staff, and a nationwide network for optimal corneal utilization. Consent from next of kin is required for eye donation which helps restore vision through transplantation.
Hearing aids
Hearing aids are small electronic devices that amplify sounds to help those with hearing loss. There are two main types - analog and digital. Analog converts sound waves into electrical signals while digital converts them into numerical codes. Hearing aids come in several styles including BTE (behind the ear), ITE (in the ear), and CIC (completely in canal) and aim to accommodate different levels of hearing loss. While technology continues to improve sound quality and features, hearing aids still help many experience the gift of hearing.
Eye donation
The document discusses corneal transplantation as a way to restore vision for corneal blindness in India. It notes that over 120 million people in India are blind in both eyes, comprising one quarter of the world's total blind population. However, there is a severe lack of donors for corneal transplantation in India due to issues like lack of awareness, social and religious beliefs, and improper infrastructure development. The document calls for awareness campaigns through healthcare teams, media, and educational institutions to increase donors and address the donor shortage.

National programs like the National Programme for Control of Blindness and Vision 2020 aim to reduce blindness. The NPCB focuses on increasing cataract surgeries and screening/treating refractive errors in schoolchildren.
POB Eye Hospital Karachi
The document discusses plans to address the gap in eye care in Karachi, Pakistan. It notes that there are an estimated 249,000 blind people in Karachi, with 117,124 due to cataracts and 23,000 due to diabetes. The estimated need for cataract surgeries is 50,000-60,000 per year but current facilities only provide 30,000, leaving a gap of 20,000-30,000 patients. To address this, the Prevention of Blindness Trust is establishing the POB Eye Hospital Karachi, which will be a fully equipped international-standard eye hospital that provides free services and aims to fill the cataract surgery gap. The hospital will be constructed on acquired land
Sight Care Foundation
Dr. K. Prabhakar presented a sight care model to address visual impairment among millions globally. The model trains vision care technicians through short courses to diagnose and treat refractive errors. It aims to address the shortage of eye care professionals in a low-cost and sustainable way. The technicians operate from their homes and conduct screenings to provide affordable eyeglasses. Monitoring shows most new patients come through referrals. The model is cost-effective for rural patients and provides employment while being designed for scalability and replication in multiple states.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Promoting Wellbeing - Applied Social Psychology - Psychology SuperNotes

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
