With smart healthcare solutions being a crucial aspect of smart cities, the healthcare mission aimed to put the UK on the highest pedestal as a partner in India’s smart cities campaign.
The mission led by Sir Malcolm Grant, Chairman, National Health Service (NHS) UK, featured over 20 UK based businesses that work in the fields of healthcare infrastructure, smart hospitals, digital healthcare, electronic patient records & remote monitoring systems, and clinical care systems. Northgate Public Services participated in the mission by showcasing its capabilities in healthcare screening systems and developing online health registries.
Speaking ahead of the event, Iain McLachlan, Director – Healthcare at Northgate Public Services, said “India has always been seen as a market with tremendous opportunities for healthcare infrastructure development and the Smart Cities initiative by the government only makes these opportunities well within the grasp of businesses and investors. This trade mission presents a strong opportunity for the UK to show its commitment to India’s healthcare initiatives and Northgate Public Services is extremely glad to be a part of this trade mission event.”
