Northgate Public Services participated in the mission by showcasing its capabilities in healthcare screening systems and developing online health registries.

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.”
