NITI Aayog organises dialogue on health system for New India

NITI Aayog will begin a series of Development Dialogues to engage experts, thought leaders and government stakeholders across key avenues of long-term social and economic development.

The first event will be a conference on "Health Systems for A New India: Building Blocks" on Friday. 

The conference will feature senior government functionaries and eminent national and international experts in the healthcare space. 

The idea of a health system pertains to integrating existing and future programmes, financing,



human resources and policies related to all dimensions of healthcare within the fabric of an all-encompassing, inclusive, long-term, stable system. 

The conference is also an attempt by NITI Aayog to begin conversations around the mandated 15-year vision document for the country as a whole.

The discussions will include topics related to achieving standardized delivery of health across all levels of care in India’s mixed healthcare system and leveraging IT for healthcare.
