Redefining the role of private sector in achieving universal health coverage Addressing current barriers & unlocking critical pathways
The biggest health emergencies of our times have not just laid bare the myriad
challenges and gaps in our health system but also highlighted the importance of
investing in ‘well-being’ at both personal and system level. It has ushered in an era of
digital and technological innovations and advancements that is expected to help
communities fulfil those requirements at a much faster pace. As India faces high disease
mortality and morbidity from preventable causes and risk factors, Improved access, and
quality of personal health care, as well as increased reach of population-level
interventions, could result in 3.9 million fewer deaths annually. McKinsey Global Institute
(2022) estimates that poor health reduces global GDP by 15% each year – 2x the COVID19 pandemic’s negative impact in 2020. MGI estimates, globally, a boost in 0.4% annual
GDP growth rate in a “healthy growth” scenario - adoption of 10 health interventions
estimated to reduce disease burden by a further 6-10%.
Globally, nearly USD 3.9 trillion is needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) by 2030, more than double the current funding of $1.4 trillion dedicated towards
SDGs from domestic and international sources.
The NATHEALTH 9th Annual Summit 2023: Redefining the Role of Private Sector in Achieving Universal Health Coverage while addressing current barriers and unlocking critical pathways, is designed to bring industry and the government together to discuss, deliberate and chart the way forward for a stronger, resilient India which can be ready for any future complications and uncertainties. This will be a platform to discuss learnings from the pandemic and the way forward, learn and adapt from global best practices from everyone in the healthcare ecosystem from start-ups to philanthropic organizations, create new operating mechanisms, harness knowledge and technology for best possible solutions.
Today, we stand at a crossroads of time which is ready for change. The path to achieve this holistic goal hinges on collaboration, where all the health industry stakeholders can come together, deliberate, cooperate, and work in tandem to bridge the vital gaps in service delivery. Public and private stakeholders both need to rethink on how they will address systemic issues in India, look at investing in and rebuilding healthcare infrastructure as a strategic asset. As a nation we must look at planning the next 5 years in the first phase, and then plan for the next decades by adding more elements to enable all of us to live the new normal. Private Sector is an important and a legitimate stakeholder in this journey ahead.
At NATHEALTH, we believe that there is a compelling need to create a unique platform conducive to meaningful dialogue that paves the way for collaboration among various stakeholders. With this objective, the theme of the forthcoming 9th NATHEALTH Annual Summit - Arogya Bharat 2023 is Redefining the Role of Private Sector in Achieving Universal Health Coverage while addressing current barriers and unlocking critical pathways. We believe that this will further strengthen and reinforce the new post pandemic national healthcare agenda, for us to unite healthcare ecosystem especially at a time when the world finds itself at a challenging crossroad.
