Indian treatment methods could hold the key to the survival of Britain?s National Health Service (NHS) that still offers mostly free medical care to all patients, irrespective of the income they earn.

India?s use of production-line methods to conduct an estimated 3 lakh cataract operations every year has been cited as a way of saving massive UK surgery costs that will otherwise contribute to a looming cash crisis.

Britain?s health service economic regulator, Monitor, estimates a ?30-billion spending gap by 2021 unless radical efficiency savings are implemented.
