The use case driven program brings hospitals, diagnostic chains, insurance players, pharma and medtech companies, government delegates, technology enterprises and deeptech start-ups towards catalysing the adoption of solutions.
“Digital technology in healthcare has a critical role to play in making affordable healthcare accessible in remote areas of the country. The Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) as nodal agency for all IT promotion in the country, is committed to doing all it can in making this healthcare access a reality. We look forward to more such initiatives to support the government efforts,” said Dr Ajai Garg, Senior Director, MeitY.
