Indian healthcare expenditure is amongst the lowest globally and there are significant challenges to be addressed both in terms of accessibility of healthcare service and quality of patient care. A significant portion of the Indian population is unable to access healthcare service because of inadequate healthcare infrastructure. Accessibility to healthcare infrastructure on an overall basis is relatively imbalanced and is extremely limited to rural areas of the country. The existing healthcare infrastructure is unplanned and is irregularly distributed. Further, there is a severe lack of trained doctors and nurses to service the needs of the large Indian populous. Healthcare infrastructure (majorly hospitals) requires necessary attention for India to revolutionize its medical and healthcare industry.
The event serves as a perfect platform to network with thousands of healthcare professionals along with generating business and increasing sales. The conference topics and Speaker sessions will provide valuable insights on new trends which could widen the customer base and help companies to stay ahead of competition. With participation from international companies and other countries, building relations to gain access to India and the sub-continent will be facilitated. Some of the key associations supporting the event are Indian Association of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Association of Healthcare Providers (India), ADMI – Association of Diagnostic Manufacturers of India, MSAHITA – Medical Surgery and Healthcare Industry Trade Association, Apollo Hospitals Group, Indian Association of Sports Medicine, Fortis Healthcare Limited along with other associations from the U.K, Germany, Korea.
