 Heal in India

 

 

 

 

 

Context :

Govt set to launch 'heal in India' plan

 

Extract :

 

The Union health ministry is giving final touches to a new initiative - heal in India and heal by India - a new portal which is likely to be announced by the prime minister (PM) on August 15. The new portal aims to give impetus to medical tourism.

Developed under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, the portal will have :

 

#   a repository of healthcare professionals,

 

#   hospitals services to help overseas patients seeking medical help in India.

 

 

"India is the pharmacy of the world. The new initiative aims to make India the medical hub of the world," said a senior government official on the condition of anonymity.

Dear Shri Mansukh Mandaviyaji,

 

 

Congratulations on this long over-due initiative .

 

Your proposed portal should not just remain an exhaustive DATA-BASE of :

 

#  Doctors 

 

#  Hospitals ( Allopathic – Ayurvedic  -  Homeopathic etc ) 

 

#  Charges for various “ treatments / procedures “ etc., 

 

BUT

 

#  should enable booking / online payments / progress reports ( only viewable by relatives authorized explicitly

    for viewing / including CCTV observations )

 

#  Feedback – Rating by patients

 

#  Nearby facilities for staying ( for persons accompanying the patients )

 

 

I strongly urge you to convince ONDC ( Online Network of Digital Commerce ) CEO , Shri Koshy to explore linking of this portal with ONDC

 

 

Please do grant FREE access to these databases / searches , for anyone without having to login

 

 

With regards,

 

Hemen Parekh  /  hcp@RecruitGuru.com /  09 Aug 2022 ( August Kranti Din )

Ø OUTSOURCE TO INDIA, SAVE UK’S NHS ………………………..[ 06 Jan 2011 ]

 

 

Extract :

 

According to this report, John Neilson, the Managing Director of Britain’s National Health Services (NHS), said millions of pounds could be saved by outsourcing more NHS administration to India.

 

 

NHS is responsible for leading healthcare efficiency reforms in the UK.

 

 

As pressure on NHS budgets intensifies, Neilson suggested that the alternative is cuts to services.
