| 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 |
