Cross-continental learnings

A sizable Swedish government delegation is here in Hyderabad this week, learning more about the Indian health care system. The objective for the delegation -- made up of top government officials from the Ministry of Health and Social Affairs, as well as CEOs of hospitals and heads of foundations -- is to learn about innovative solutions and opportunities for both inspiration and collaboration with the Indian health system.

Once again, I'm reminded by how lucky I am to be working in health care delivery in a country changing as rapidly as India -- where delegates from much richer countries are coming to observe innovations and the amazing potential in areas such as health care technology, public private partnerships, and increasing access to quality care. In just the couple years that I've been here, there's already been such a shift, particularly in the rise of private sector solutions as viable agents of change. It's exciting to think about what's up ahead...and even more exciting to think about being -- in my own small way -- part of that change.
