New Thinking for a New World - a Tallberg Foundation Podcast

Worth Repeating: A Visionary Leader


Listen Later

Andrew Bastawrous, the 2023 Prize winner, discusses the transformative power of innovative thinking in eye care.

Andrew Bastawrous solves problems. As a well-trained, highly skilled ophthalmologist he was devoted to treating as many patients as possible, in Kenya and elsewhere in Africa. But even gifted surgeons can only do so much, and Andrew came to realize that there were innumerable patients who never even made it to the queues outside his treatment centers.

So, Andrew stepped back and rethought how to do ophthalmology in practice. He found an answer by reimagining how eye care is delivered—literally a whole new supply chain—and leveraging technology. The result is that his Peek Vision software and data intelligence platform now help millions overcome vision impairment.

Listen to (and watch) this special episode of New Thinking for a New World, as Dr. Bastawrous, a winner of the Tällberg-SNF-Eliasson Global Leadership Prize for 2023, explains what it really means to think differently.
