The global impact of COVID-19 has overwhelmed large sections of the world’s healthcare infrastructure, and the ongoing threat it presents has been the most demanding on our public-health systems. The present scenario is of grave concern to stakeholders in the country as it has caused disruptions to supply chains to every segment of the economy. It is of fundamental concern to strategize the restoration of the nation’s healthcare infrastructure, and research & development facilities.
The Indian healthcare scenario presents a spectrum of contrasting landscapes. The urban-rural gap in healthcare infrastructure seems to be ever growing, presenting us with an even more complex present. Although the pandemic has helped improve India’s healthcare infrastructure as both the government and private players have had to incur vast amounts of unplanned expenditure, the overall ecosystem still faces a multiplicity of challenges.
There are several key areas that need to be addressed regarding the healthcare ecosystem. There have been strides taken to address the idea of affordable and quality healthcare through various flagship programmes such as Ayushman Bharat, however, areas such as accessibility, absence of human power, accountability and the lack of awareness among the general population continues to hinder the progress of the overall ecosystem.
The tailwinds and opportunities presented to us are innumerable, and CII’s India Healthcare week will be at the center of redefining the Indian healthcare ecosystem. With deliberations to make India an attractive destination for Med Tech and charting its route towards Atmamirbhar, to the growing role of AYUSH and it’s integration into the nation’s public health programs, to the need to strengthen our public health delivery. It is envisaged as a unique health platform converging multiple stake holders in the Health eco system to deliberate and discuss the future of Health.
CII Healthcare Week 2020 will also see Experts from USA, UK, Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, Singapore, Australia, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and many other countries coming together in this first of its kind, digital thought leadership and exhibition business platform to discuss on Health, Technology, Ayurveda and how can these systems work together to deliver Low cost care to India and to the World.
