The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) on Tuesday said it has partnered with Swasth, a not-for-profit consortium of healthcare players, to drive healthcare transformation.
The partnership aims to promote knowledge sharing in telemedicine and digital health, FICCI said in a statement. The industry body added that it will also focus on promoting public-private collaborations.
“FICCI is supporting Swasth, which we believe will drive healthcare inclusion for the country leveraging the best of technology and healthcare,” Ficci Healthservices Committee Co-Chair Harsh Mahajan said.
There was a need for a telemedicine hub to deliver healthcare to far-flung areas in the country and Covid-19 has acted as a catalyst to get this partnership started, he added.
