Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya today appealed to the global community to “converge our efforts towards building a culture of interoperability in the development of digital solutions not only at the country level but globally.”
Reiterating India’s commitment to creating a unified global health architecture, Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya today appealed to the global community to “converge our efforts towards building a culture of interoperability in the development of digital solutions not only at the country level but globally.”
He stated that greater focus was required on the supplementation of global investments instead of duplication in investments.
“Under the G20 motto of One Earth, One Family, One Future, India is working towards greater collaboration and sustained efforts across the digital health ecosystem. Leveraging its G20 presidency, India is also encouraging the development of a common global platform for sharing medical countermeasures, technical knowledge, digital infrastructure, and cost-effective digital health solutions,” he added.
Mandaviya was speaking on the concluding day of the “Global Conference on Digital Health – Taking Universal Health Coverage to the Last Citizen”, an event under India’s G20 Presidency organized by the WHO and the Ministry of Health & Family Welfare.
“Digital health interventions are not just limited to individual healthcare delivery programmes, but are spread across multiple health outcomes, catering to both communicable and non-communicable diseases across the health and disease burden spectrum,” the Indian minister said.
