Whenever, we have started an initiative, it has been about bringing a lasting change. We have created global-neutral -multi-stakeholders convening platforms like Health Parliament, Global Digital Health Summit, Expo & Innovation Awards and we have created the world's biggest #digitalhealth upskilling platform Academy of Digital Health Sciences. All these 'Enablers' have been created with an overarching vision and i keep telling my team, if you remember the vision behind each endeavour, you will take any decision with ease and without discussions with anyone.
Health Parliament is about creating grassroots leadership at all level across the world for addressing the unattended issues critical for healthcare transformation. With have an overarching theme ' REAL WORK. GREAT LEADERS . RIGHT POLICIES' ; We focus on real work that empowers great leaders who, in turn, drive right policies—the foundation of true healthcare transformation, we will have the RIGHT POLICIES, and healthcare will undergo a REAL TRANSFORMATION. You heard the news from the UK Prime Minister, Keir Starmer that NHS England will be dissolved! Well, globally, bigger transformations are needed, and at Health Parliament, we will be the platform to do it. Now, Health Parliament is available in 67 countries. If you wish to #LeadtheChange, download the Health Parliament app ( available on #android & #IoS ). Let's do more, faster, and together!
The Global Digital Health Summit, Expo & Innovation Awards is a Global, Neutral- Multi-Stakeholder Convening platform that is about ideating the future of healthcare and creating it. Over the years, we have led to creation of major initiatives that have touched over 1.5 billion lives and we are just starting! We will force for more change working with you. We are a meeting place to create the future we want. We are focused on #digital health. If you're looking for a space to drive real digital health innovation, this is where you belong.
Academy of Digital Health Sciences: The future of healthcare belongs to those who prepare for disruption. Our training platform is not just another course—it's a launchpad for global leadership. Graduates from our past three cohorts are already leading the charge —some have built companies, others have created products and services that are redefining health /healthcare. If you're serious about shaping healthcare's future, this is where you should be.
The International Patients' Union is the only initiative that is not a neutral platform. When we started the International Patients' Union, we were clear that we have been created to bring the patient's voice to the forefront, ensuring that decision-makers—whether in government or healthcare providers—are forced to listen to patients & populations - who are the ultimate payers and users of #healthcare #services & #products in private or public healthcare. We have succeeded in bringing the voice of patients mainstream and making them interface with the decision-makers in the Government and the provider space, so that we can help 'patients' find solution to their problems and also, move the healthcare from a 'supplier driven model' to a 'need-based care delivery' - we believe this is a level above 'Value-based Care' model - one that is truly centered around the patient.
We have started the world's first International Patients' Union Fellowship, this fellowship is for those who wish to remain grounded while they remain at the top or wish to reach the top. We will announce those will make it to the first cohort. Link to apply : https://internationalpatientsunion.org
For all that we invested over the years, here's what we have achieved & that's incredible!
We have sought feedback from some of our attendees, and this is what they said. I think that we are thankful to all those in the Government and the industry and the Patients who come forward every year to demonstrate their understanding, passion for change and speak their mind at this conference. This conference is to showcase unfiltered view of the patients before top policy-makers.
Last year, we announced the World's first Patient Centricity Index, and there will be more news on this in the weeks ahead. For us, Patient Centricity is not a word, it is an objective assessment driven by KPIs that deliver better outcomes creating value for the money we invest in healthcare. We are going to redefine the quality indicators of healthcare.
What ever money we make through our other initiatives, gets ploughed back to International Patients' Union. Our core commitment remains to patients and populations, the ultimate payers and users of healthcare, whether private or public. Their voices must shape the future of healthcare, and through our work, we are ensuring they do.
Everything we have built over the years has been in collaboration with governments, industry leaders, and most importantly, patients who demand change. Every year, this movement grows stronger, and on April 7th (World Health Day) at the India International Centre, New Delhi, we are coming together again.
This is not an event for those comfortable with the status quo. If you believe healthcare needs to change, this is your platform. Come, participate, and make your voice heard.
We don't just talk about change—we ensure your voices reach the top decision-makers through the 'Outcomes Report'.
If you want change, join us. If you're content with the way things are, this isn't your place.
The future of healthcare isn't written yet—let's write it together.
Happy Holi
