As India emerges stronger from the Wuhan Pandemic, the central government is working on a plan to make India the global source for the health sector through the ‘Heal by India’ initiative, The Economic Times reports.
The Union Health Ministry had conducted a two-day long ‘Chintan Shivir-Heal By India’ event and in that meeting, the government worked on the provision of the necessary facilities to ensure that the Indian health sector becomes a global source.
“The two-day Chintan Shivir included positioning India as a global source for quality talent for international employers, facilitating gateways for global employment for resident human resources for health and attracting global talent to receive quality education from our educational institutions in the health sector,” a senior official from the Union Health Ministry told the ANI.
This initiative comes at a time when there was a lot of pressure on our healthcare infrastructure in India due to the pandemic and now the focus will be to improve the primary and tertiary healthcare and overall strengthening of the medical infrastructure in the country.
Discussions are underway to address the global shortage of doctors by providing the right environment for those who aspire to be doctors across the world an opportunity to study in India.
