ICT in delivering better quality, accessible, patient sensitive and affordable

I am very happy that ICT Health has
taken this initiative to raise relevant issues which plague Indian healthcare
sector and make it one of the worst in the world,” said Satish Kini, chief operations officer – Nation Building Projects of
PANIIT Alumni India.
While we have islands of efficiency
and hospitals and doctors which are as good as the best in the advanced world,
the fact is that our Healthcare sector (including Private and Public sector)
has failed to deliver on its promises to the Indian population at large. It is
time for all stakeholders and leaders of Healthcare to work together in a
holistic manner an adopt out of the box innovative solutions of delivery models
and business models which are possible due to new
technologies and do not exist anywhere in the world,” Kini added.
