The summit will have a dedicated session of state health ministers discussing the initiatives and healthcare conditions in their respective states.
“We took a dedicated initiative when we launched India Health & Wellness Awards last year. Encouraged with the success of our debut and the overwhelming response it got from all stakeholders, we are back in a bigger and better avatar this year. The 2015 edition of IHW Summit & Awards will see several new segments designed to make it more comprehensive, effective and outcome oriented. This year, we have also planned a ministerial session that will have Ministers of Health & Family Welfare from selected states to discuss their respective experiences and facilitate exchange of ideas,” said Mr. Kamal Narayan Omer, Director, Blue Pen Media, Organizer of IHW Summit & Awards.
“Be it doctors, service providers, policy makers, innovators or corporate, a lot of people have shown interest in participating in the event and contributing towards finding a new ground which can spawn new ideas, approaches and partnerships. We are aware of the fact that India faces myriad health challenges which can neither be resolved by focusing on just the urban elite nor be addressed by turning all attention to the under privileged. We need a balance in our approach and better public-private partnerships. We hope over the years, IHW will become a fountainhead of new ideas,” said Dr. Bobby John, Managing Director, Aequitas Consulting and Curator of the IHW Summit.
