Expenses on hospitalisation and medical treatment are the leading reasons for bankruptcy among poor families in India. Having identified the reason for most cases of these problems as lack of access to potable water, the Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore, is organising a two-day forum and workshop on affordable healthcare and water.
Starting Monday, the event seeks to engage, ideate and discuss how universal healthcare and access to clean water can be provided in India. It will be attended by stakeholders representing the government, NGOs, healthcare providers, hospital supplies companies and researchers, among others.
The event aims to enable participants share success stories and create models and frameworks that will improve coverage and affordable access to healthcare services and clean water. The major objective of the forum and workshops is to review and evolve sustainable business models to improve the sustainable livelihoods of low-income groups.
According to the organisers, the forum will help in the evolution of sustainable business models to improve sustainable livelihoods of low-income groups. “Leveraging technology to provide affordability and access to health care and clean drinking water is a key focus area,” they stated.
With a panel of speakers from various industries across the globe, the forum is expected to arrive at and evaluate an optimal platform model in which key stakeholders will continue to interact and improve the existing facilities.
The final deliverables
Evaluate an optimal platform model for continuous interaction between key stakeholders fostering access to healthcare and clean water.
Identify successful approaches and concepts across industries to improve the affordability of access to healthcare and clean water.
