Special consultative status is granted to NGOs which have a special competence in, and are concerned specifically with, only a few of the fields of activity covered by the ECOSOC. The United Nations Economic and Social Council has 54 member states which are elected by the United Nations General Assembly for overlapping three-year terms.
Speaking on this achievement, Rajendra Pratap Gupta, President, DMAI, said, “India is on the verge of building its healthcare system and has a long way to go. DMAI is building the knowledge pool to contribute and convert ‘ideas’ into ‘reality’ for healthcare in India. This Special Consultative Status only is an indication of the fact that we are doing things the right way.”
He added, “When I founded this organisation in 2009, the goal was to improve the healthcare of the country through better policies, and DMAI has been immensely successful in contributing to the same. All major reforms in Indian healthcare have come through our policy/advocacy initiatives/ recommendations.”
With grassroots understanding of the issues in Indian healthcare, DMAI has become the most influential organisation in healthcare policy and reforms in India.
