Praxis Global Alliance, in partnership with ASSOCHAM (The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India), is proud to unveil our latest white paper, “Disparity to Parity: Advancing Quality, Affordability, and Accessibility in Tier 2 & 3+ India through Technology”. This report delves into how emerging technologies like #AI, #bioinformatics, #teleradiology, #telemedicine, and #mobilediagnostics can bridge healthcare disparities in tier 2 and 3+ India. With a projected 14% CAGR over the next five years, the Indian diagnostics sector is poised for rapid growth, driven by innovation and expanding access to underserved communities. Discover how these smart solutions can transform diagnostics and create a healthier future for rural India. 🔍 What’s inside: 🔹Indian healthcare ecosystem 🔹Fragmentation of diagnostics facilities and need for quality labs 🔹Deep dive into the smart technologies bridging the disparity gap 🔹Achieving procurement efficiencies through scale 🔹Key government initiatives #PraxisReport #TechForGood #DiagnosticsReport #DisparityToParity #HealthcareInnovation #SmartTechnology Aryaman Tandon | Garima Malhotra | Utkarsh Jain | Deepak Sharma

Some of you might know that I first went to India ten years ago as General Manager of Roche Pharma India. I was lucky enough to return recently alongside Padraic Ward and the Roche Pharma International leadership team. This trip marked my first trip back and wow, the progress India has made in a decade is incredible. So many facets of society- from infrastructure to service to digitisation- have supported India to become even more vibrant and to take important steps to become more equal. I know that this kind of progress is possible for Africa. During our trip, we had the opportunity to meet with advanced healthcare thinkers who are solving complex problems for Indian patients. Aravind Srinivasan and Devi Shetty both amazed and inspired me. They have made an incredible impact by creating healthcare delivery systems that meet the Indian healthcare system where it is. Dr Aravind is offering cataracts services to all Indians, irrespective of their means. While the cost and service level varies, the outcome and quality of care never does. ARAVIND EYE CARE SYSTEM Hospitals prioritises equity by providing free or heavily subsidised treatment to the 50% of the patient pool who cannot afford to pay while maintaining financial self-sustainability. No patient is left behind. In 2023, the clinic held over 5.7 million outpatient visits and over 700,000 surgeries. Dr Aravind and his team also improved all parts of the patient journey to ensure that patients got the best possible outcome. This included improving the efficiency of the caregiving process, optimising patient treatment adherence, and reducing the need for multiple patient visits by creating a ‘one-stop-shop.’ Dr Prasad Sheety is an Indian entrepreneur and cardiac surgeon who is the chairman and founder of Narayana Health. Dr Sheety is inviting the global south to shift its thinking from #UHC to universal affordable #health #insurance, a system by which each household will have health insurance that goes beyond the nuclear family. This would include covering household staff such as housekeepers and drivers. He noted that governments with smaller tax-to-GDP ratios will struggle to spend significantly higher amounts on healthcare but governments can make insurance affordable so that those who are neither very poor nor very rich can access it. Both these innovative healthcare professionals are solving challenges similar to those we have in Africa. We need to learn from the example of our #LMIC brothers and sisters and apply what makes sense to our markets. I am already thinking about pressing problems that India can lend solutions for.

We are excited to share that Genext Genomics (GNG) is part of a groundbreaking partnership bringing the cutting-edge Mobile Suitcase Lab to India. Developed by Leipzig University, this portable diagnostic tool enables rapid, on-site detection of diseases such as #Dengue, #TB, Zika, and #Salmonella—transforming #diagnostic capabilities, especially in regions with limited healthcare infrastructure. This initiative comes to life through the signing of a Joint Declaration of Intent (JDI) by distinguished leaders: Dr. M Srinivas, Director, AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi) Dr. Ahmed Abd El Wahed, Director of the Mobile Suitcase Lab Consortium, Leipzig University University; Dr. Souvik Maiti, Director, CSIR-IGIB Siddarth Daga, MD & CEO, VINS Bioproducts Limited; and Dr. Ashwin kashikar , Managing Director, and Supriya Kashikar Kashikar, CEO, Genext Genomics. Supported by Dr. Ramanuj Banerjee, Counsellor (S&T) at the Embassy of India in Berlin, this partnership underscores the growing synergy between Indian and German innovation. The technology transfer and deployment of this lab in India will significantly enhance the country’s public health capabilities. As a proud Nagpur-based biotech company, GNG is committed to driving impactful collaborations like this, advancing diagnostics, and contributing to a healthier future for all. Stay tuned as we embark on this transformative journey! #GenextGenomics #HealthcareInnovation #IndiaGermanyCollaboration #DiagnosticsForAll #OnSiteDiagnostics #PublicHealthInnovation #DiseaseDetection #NagpurBiotech #TransformingHealthcare #CuttingEdgeDiagnostics #PartnershipForHealth

📢 Enhancing Diagnostics in India: Moving from Disparity to Parity 📢 We’re thrilled to share insights from Aryaman Tandon, Managing Partner & Co-Founder at Praxis Global Alliance, who spoke at the ASSOCHAM (The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India)'s #Diagnostics Summit in New Delhi, where Praxis Global Alliance was a proud knowledge partner. During the summit, Aryaman not just had a Fireside with Honb. Brig. Dr Arvind Lal but also emphasized India's urgent need for smart diagnostics and highlighted the transformative role of technology in advancing quality, accessibility, and affordability in diagnostics across Tier 2 and 3+ cities. 💡 "India has approximately 150,000 pathology labs, yet the market remains highly fragmented. Indians undergo just two tests per year on average, a number that pales in comparison to other countries. To make diagnostics more accessible and proactive, we need technology integration—from booking orders and sample movement to remote diagnostics and AI-driven analytics," Aryaman Tandon shared. Praxis Global Alliance also launched a pivotal paper at the event, titled "Advancing Quality, Affordability, and Accessibility in Tier 2 and 3+ India through Technology" The white paper underscores the potential for technology to create new services that are not only affordable but also close the gap between urban and rural healthcare. Thank you to ASSOCHAM for organizing this summit and providing a platform to discuss the future of diagnostics in India. Together, we can propel diagnostics from "disparity to parity."
