They introspected on the prowess to tackle key trade challenges and tap potential opportunities.

The fourth edition of Healthcare Senate 2019 began with a welcome address by Viveka Roychowdhury, Editor Express Healthcare, who jogged the audience’s memory about the past three editions. She further emphasised on how the forum has provided a platform to private healthcare providers for sharing their insights on business models that will work for India.

Featuring the movers and shakers, the good, the bad and sometimes the ugly side of this sector, we continue our quest to showcase the best of Indian healthcare to the world and bring the best global healthcare practices to India,” she said.

She pointed out that the central theme of the event aims to explore and debate on ‘India Healthcare Inc: Financially Fit, Tech Empowered’, as Fintech is transforming each and every function of the healthcare value chain.
