Dr Poonam MalakondaiahSpecial Chief Secretary, Health Medical and Family Welfare

Department, Government of Andhra Pradesh

Our honourable Chief Minister’s priority area in development is to take andhra pradesh towards arogya andhra pradesh.

Under the dynamic leadership of Chief Minister, the department of Health and Family Welfare, Government of andhra pradesh

has been taking a number of steps to strengthen the public healthcare facilities right from sub-centers to teaching hospitals.

and also in a big way to educate people in health areas so that we can reduce the communicable and non-communicable

diseases. This is first State in the country to roll out all the programmes designed by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (GoI). The footfalls have increased in our hospitals.

Arun SinghalAdditional Secretary, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare,

Government of India

andhra pradesh has been galloping forward. The Government has Swarna andhra vision 2029, under which the State

has vision to be amongst best three States in the country by 2022 and best State by 2029 and to be leading global

investor destination by 2050. The good thing is that the rural development is a priority for the State Government. Chief

Minister emphasises on creating smart villages. The State is one of the best in most of the healthcare indicators.

Dr Jitendar SharmaAdvisor (Health), Government of Andhra Pradesh,

CEO & MDAndhra Pradesh Medtech Zone (AMTZ)

andhra pradesh in last four years conceptualised and implemented over 20 to 30 national programmes like national

dialysis programme and national radiology programme. andhra pradesh is number one in implementation of

healthcare initiatives. This is the only State which has not only implemented all the programmes conceptualised, but actually conceptualised much more and implemented. When national

Human rights Commission gives notices to many States, when they see a dead body is being carried away on bicycle or shoulders, this is the State which gives Mahaprasthanam (the

great journey to a new world) free with dignity transport.

Indu BhushanCEO

Ayushman Bharat

It is a key milestone for ayushman Bharat because andhra pradesh is the first State in South India which has signed MoU

with Government of India. We are hoping the ayushman Bharat will further help the State Government in its vision to achieve Universal Health Coverage. We also hope that your success in providing health insurance will also be helpful to other states. We also appeal other States to learn from you and implement

healthcare initiatives in their respective States.

I congratulate you on the behalf of the country for use of technology in all sectors including healthcare where you have taken a lead. you conceived Dr nTr Vaidya Seva, a universal

healthcare scheme based on which we build the model of ayushman Bharat. you implemented it with aplomb. your

progress in infant mortality is remarkable. your record of MMr is unbelievable. andhra pradesh has shown a stellar leadership

in health sector.

J SatyanarayanaAdvisor (IT)

Government of Andhra Pradesh

Better health for everyone, everywhere is the slogan of WHO. Health informatics, health analytics are important aspects of healthcare technology. We should move from silos of

development to solutions, from system to ecosystem and health to wellness. These strategies are needed to transform the healthcare sector. We need political will and leadership,

enterprise architecture, standards, and partnership to execute things in healthcare domain.

Dr Pallavi Jain GovilCommissioner Health

Government of Madhya Pradesh

Madhya pradesh took very early decision that it will be free drugs and diagnostics for all. Madhya pradesh has reinvented itself in last 10 years and has shown progress in all sectors

including healthcare. We have adopted tried and tested models of many States to improve things here. The state has thin

resource. We have paucity of doctors and healthcare workers in the State. They have positioned in a very optimal places as per the requirement. There is grouse that different healthcare

programmes and departments run in silos, which must be broken down and should be converted into useful schemes. We

are using data to serve public interests.

Ms PaydenActing Representative and Deputy Head

World Health Organisation (WHO)

a resolution on digital health has been moved by India and was adopted at World Health assembly last month. I am happy to

share that andhra pradesh will be one of the five States to test integrated health information platform which is world enabled

real time electronic information platform developed by Ministry with WHO as technical platform. We have been supporting the

Government since 1997 in polio eradication efforts.

conclusive diagnosis based on the reports.

Prof Yogesh ChawlaFormer PGI Director

Chandigarh

ensuring Universal Health Coverage in multi-speciality treatment is a bit problematic, but it can be resolved if we use

telemedicine extensively and if more and more doctors will be sent to multi-specialty hospitals for training in different disciplines. and to achieve it on ground level, all the State

Governments and healthcare establishments should come on the same stage.

Low cost indigenous technology is need of the hour. We are working on the development of indigenous MrI machine

and treatment plant software for radiation therapy and other initiatives. CDaC is working on lots of technologies high

performance computing, telemedicine, hospital management information system, drug supply chain management systems, and preventive healthcare portals. Technology has potential to

transform lives of people.

Dr Rama VenugopalExecutive Director

Value Added Corporate Services

Medical devices sector has been in the country for quite some time, but I would say that the real momentum is picking up in the last few years. as a country, we are import-driven when it comes to medical devices.

recently, many initiatives have been taken, such as Make In India to encourage domestic and international firms to manufacture in India, but still, this approach in medical

sector is still very reluctant.

Subash PunjaJoint Forum Coordinator

Association of Indian Medical Device Industry (AIMED)

Today, there is no dearth of start-ups and ideas in the healthcare sector. But the problematic area here is implementation and lack

of strategic process. So, first of all every start-up trying to get into the business should gather insights of their target market and indentify what are the actual requirements of the market.

They should work collectivity on the aspect of knowledge sharing and get rid of the practice of working in isolation.

Gaur SundarJoint Director

Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC)

CDaC has been working as an enabler of e-health in many ways, like it helped in making technology indigenous, which is a major factor to bring down the cost of the implementation of technology. not only indigenous technologies are cheaper, but they are more manageable for long-run and much more

productive in the ground realities of the country.
