dc.description	The CMHS seminar held at Wing - 11 Committee Room, IIMA on Tuesday, February 23, 2016 by Mr. Ashok K Kakkar, Senior Managing Director, Varian Medical Systems International India Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India on Medical Technology in Indian Context.	en_US
dc.description.abstract	Increasingly medical technology is becoming a key enabler of healthcare right from prevention to treatment. While the rapid advances in technology have enhanced the precision & efficacy of healthcare interventions, it has also attracted criticism around “over-use” or over dependence on these modern technological tools, leading to enhancement in healthcare costs. In Indian context, this issue of affordability gains alarming proportion given over 60% population pays out of pocket. To add to the problem is the healthcare infrastructure skews resulting in virtual migration of patients from rural and semi-urban settings to big cities thereby increasing the financial burden further. With above back-drop in view the talk will attempt to discuss some of the opportunities that lie underneath these seemingly formidable challenges and how medical technology can be optimally adopted and utilized to provide solutions for the Indian healthcare sector	en_US
