Government of India’s Technology Think Tank TIFAC has launched a white paper conceptualizing smart healthcare ecosystem of India, on its 35^th Foundation Day.

The occasion was graced by Dr. Srivari Chandrasekhar, Secretary Department of Science and Technology, Prof. Devang Khakhar, Chairman, TIFAC Governing Council, and Dr. Pradeep Srivastava, Executive Director, TIFAC.

The paper conceptualizes a smart healthcare ecosystem, with action recommendations on policies around the same. All recommendations in the paper are driven out of on-ground pilot implementation and relevant feasibility checks, thus ensuring the policy recommendation gets converted to on-ground action. 

Another paper on ‘100 specialty chemicals for Atmanirbharta’ was also launched to help strengthen policies on Atmanirbhar Bharat. The paper has been launched under the call of the Prime Minister’s Digital Health Mission. TIFAC has also conducted research pertaining to vital health measurement across pilot districts of India, thus strengthening the digital health mission of India.

The paper calls upon businesses, startups, technology innovators and other related entities to create a business plan on integrating with the ecosystem, towards building India’s healthcare accessibility and affordability.
