US, India Join Together to Improve Healthcare in India

"Access to effective and affordable healthcare is essential to ensure India's remarkable growth," USIBC President Ron Somers said Thursday while announcing the initiative of the body representing over 250 of the largest US firms investing in India and about 25 of India's largest global companies.
The initiative includes bolstering the protection of intellectual property and innovation, so that the best class of treatments and devices across the broad spectrum of healthcare challenges facing India are and remain available and accessible to the common man, he said.
It "intends to bring together the US and Indian business community, NGOs and medical professionals to coordinate and support improved access to healthcare in India, consistent with efforts being taken by the government of India as well as the corporate social responsibility (CSR) programmes being pursued throughout India by the US and Indian private sector", Somers said.
CHI will concentrate on raising health standards, including the accreditation of healthcare facilities and penetration of health insurance coverage, with a particular emphasis on rural areas where more than 60 percent of Indians live and work.
Moreover, CHI will work collaboratively with other efforts underway in India to raise awareness about the scourge of HIV/AIDS, while promoting preventative measures and improving access to effective and affordable treatment regimes.
