Dr Gurpreet Sandhu, President, CHP, Said, “For Universal Healthcare to become a reality, we must pull out all the stops to optimise the sourcing and delivery of each element of the health value chain. This calls for extensive deployment of the best-known bases and practices around the world for high quality medicines, technologies and skill sets. The logic, natural synergies and complementarities between India and the US in healthcare are compelling and the potential to realise accelerated gains from bringing these together is enormous and immediate.”
A strong proponent of Affordable Medicare, Congressman Steny Hoyer emphasized the need for Government to work for improving healthcare access and affordability and to ensure that all Americans have access to affordable health insurance. Further, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard who is a champion for Universal Healthcare expressed her commitment towards working proactively for the same.
Senator Roger F Wicker was of the view that one of the biggest concerns facing the US in the arena of Health is the lack of affordable health insurance coverage. Expressing his support to the cause of Women’s Healthcare, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi was categorical that America succeeds when women succeed in their quest for affordable healthcare. He also expressed his commitment towards accessible and affordable medicines to achieve the goal of ‘Health for All’.
Congressman Frank Pallone who serves as the Chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee was of the opinion that all Americans should have access to high quality affordable healthcare. He assured the gathering that he is committed to work steadfastly to protect the integrity of Medicare and Medicaid programs.
The American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin applauded the Council and its members for its committed support towards the TB elimination programme in India. Furthering their collaboration, the two organisations have entered into a joint dialogue to offer affordable Oncology Medicines for women, especially for cancers of the Breast and Cervix.
The Indian Ambassador to USA, H.E. Harsh Vardhan Shringla, hailed the contribution of the Indian Generics industry in its drive towards affordable care. He also applauded the role of the AAPI community in the US Healthcare system.
