Signed during the recently concluded Advantage Assam, Assam Global Investors’ Summit 2018 held at Guwahati; and UP Investors Summit 2018 held at Lucknow; these initiatives shall deliver to the people of the Assam and Uttar Pradesh world-class NHS standard healthcare that’s available, affordable and accountable.
Besides Uttar Pradesh, the other states to benefit from the IUIH programme include Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Punjab, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana and Assam.
The Indo UK Institute of Health (IUIH) Medicity Programme was announced as a Joint Statement between the Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi and the former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom David Cameron in 2015. The programme is aimed at benefitting over 400 million Indians. Healthcare UK and Department for International Trade (DIT) India are supporting IUIH with its plans. The project is supported by Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and Invest India, which is the national investment promotion and facilitation agency for India promoted by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India.
Each IUIH Medicity, including the ones to come up in Assam and UP, shall have a 1000 bed hospital in association with one of UK’s leading NHS hospital. Besides the 1000-bed hospital, the IUIH Medicities in Assam and Uttar Pradesh shall also have medical college, nursing college, PG academy and a training facility for allied health professionals. IUIH has tied up with some of the leading implant companies, and medical equipment and device manufacturers. Many of them would start their manufacturing operations in IUIH Medicities.

Plans are also afoot for employee exchange programmes, where medical staff from India will be working in NHS at UK and vice versa. It’s a great opportunity for NHS staff as well to enrich their experience and knowledge by working in India.
– Howard Lyons, Director, IUIH
Our intent is to enable Assam and Uttar Pradesh to emerge as hubs for medical tourism, medical equipment and device manufacturing, pharmaceutical production and cutting-edge medical research in areas as diverse as genomics & stem cells, translational research and clinical research leveraging on the patient data available. IUIH Medicities in both the states shall attract patient traffic as they will offer NHS standard healthcare at lower price points.

We are also relying heavily on technology for big data analytics. Our e-Health and m-Health platforms will facilitate exchange of patients’ medical records electronically using telemedicine, tele-radiology and tele-pathology for diagnostics etc.
