Healthcare is an area that ranks amongst the issues of grave concern for India. Hence, it didn't come as a surprise that SAP Summit's esteemed chief guest - Union minister for health and family welfare Dr Anbumani Ramadoss - chose the occasion to deliver an address on the issues that concern him. Extolling IT for being the flagship industry of the country, he proceeded to elaborate on how IT could prove to be an enabler for the healthcare industry.
"Healthcare is the biggest industry in the world today. In addition to healthcare services, the industry is also made up of pharma, clinical trials, health insurance and so on. In the coming years, the dependency of healthcare on IT will increase significantly," he opined.
He predicted that the country will witness a revolution in the rural health sector in the coming days, as the extensive, mega budget plans set in motion begin to deliver results. "We have also made significant investments for creating linkages between IT and healthcare." He also forecasted a bright future for the health insurance industry and major developments in the field of telemedicine.
