says Barnik Chitran Maitra, Managing Partner & CEO, by highlighting the findings of the report.
The report recommends that healthcare providers develop “Digital First” strategies instead of “Digital as a Bolt-on” for existing facilities.
“The demand already exists. However, supply lags well behind demand and it is now up to healthcare providers, start-ups, technology providers, investors, and other stakeholders to develop digital health offerings that meet and stimulate demand,” says Shri Amitabh Kant, CEO of NITI Aayog in his keynote address at the NATHEALTH Annual Summit 2022, by encouraging the industry to accelerate the digitization of health services.
Regulators and policymakers could consider providing incentives and support for legacy players adopting digital services in collaboration with the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission. For investors, funding HealthTech and InsurTech startups, essential components of a vibrant digital health ecosystem, will prove to be profitable opportunities.
Hence, the report highlights the need for building digitally-enabled supply chains that are resilient, scalable, and efficient.
