The Experience of a Low Cost Diagnostic Centre (RAHAT NIDAN KENDRA ): Basic Diagnostic Services in Radiology and Pathology

The presentation sensitizes service givers in Voluntary Organizations (VOs) that it is possible to be financially viable if you provide services at 50% the market rates (in diagnostics) even if Consultants are paid as per market rate and the technicians are paid 25-50 per cent higher than the rate prevalent in private patho lab or in an X-Ray center. Also, it presents the experience of the presenters so that more VOs are motivated to provide such services at low costs to the end user in health services.
