The partnership aims to bring the digital consent solutions to patients and the healthcare facilities in India
Thieme India has signed a partnership agreement with UK’s EIDO Healthcare, a specialist in digital consent solutions. The signing of the partnership agreement was carried out in the presence of officials from the Department for International Trade, Permanent Secretary James Bowler and Deputy Trade Commissioner Anna Shotbolt.
International Trade Minister Ranil Jayawardena said, Britain and India are healthcare and technology powerhouses. Partnerships like EIDO Healthcare and Thieme India show how collaboration between our two nations can improve the delivery of vital health services in India. We are seeking to double Anglo-Indian trade over the next decade and a free trade deal will be a significant step towards achieving that, tackling trade barriers and helping businesses in both countries to seize new opportunities.
Ajit Kohli, Managing Director & CEO, Thieme India said, “We are indeed delighted to have forged this valuable partnership with EIDO Healthcare. This also demonstrates the power of collaboration and synergy that exists between UK and India in terms of technology sharing and capacity building, apart from regular trade and investment exchanges.”
Dr Nitendra Sesodia, Senior Director, Medical Communications & Corporate Sales, Thieme India said, “With this agreement, we would now be able to bring the most advanced and yet easy-to-use digital consent solutions to patients and the healthcare facilities in India. With COVID-19 precipitating an all-round pivot to digitalisation of healthcare in the country, a shift to digital consent solutions from the traditional paper-based consent is a natural course of development. We need to capitalise on this ongoing momentum. Given the ever-increasing cases of doctor-patient scuffles and incidents and the relative lack of awareness about digital consent solutions among healthcare facilities and patients in India, this would help in addressing that gap.”
