Bleepa selected for Department for International Trade India Healthcare Virtual Mission
· The India Healthcare Virtual Mission - 8-10 December
· India's healthcare market projected to grow to $372 billion by 2022
· Event enables engagement with key stakeholders and influencers in India's Healthcare industry
London, 4 December 2020: Feedback plc (AIM: FDBK, "Feedback" or the "Company"), the specialist medical imaging technology company, today announces that Bleepa has been selected by Healthcare UK, part of the Department for International Trade ("DIT"), to join a virtual healthcare mission to India, 8-10 December 2020.
DIT - India Healthcare Virtual Mission
This is the DIT's first virtual event to India, building on the success of trade delegations visiting India over the last four years. Leading British healthcare innovators in artificial intelligence in healthcare, digital health, smart diagnostics and home-care technology, for both the Covid and post-Covid world, are selected to join this mission, led by the Chairman of NHS England, Lord David Prior.
Innovation in healthcare delivery is a key priority for healthcare providers in India, as India's healthcare market is projected to grow to USD 372bn by 20221. The event offers the chance to interact with key stakeholders and influencers from the Indian healthcare industry, including high-profile speakers from reputed organisations on key issues/opportunities in the industry from both UK and India. Companies joining the mission will receive dedicated support from the DIT network.
Dr Tom Oakley, CEO of Feedback, commented:
"There are a number of potential opportunities for Bleepa within the large and growing Indian healthcare market such as with the newly announced National Digital Health Mission, which targets giving every Indian citizen a unique health ID and digitized health records.
"Bleepa has the ability to support the hub and spoke hospital system in India. With a population of 1.38 billion people, access to centres of excellence in the four major cities is not possible for all, with both capacity and funding limiting access to top tier treatment. We believe that Bleepa can provide the vital digital link between these centres of excellence and regional or even mobile care units, enabling millions more patients to receive the high standards of care targeted in the National Digital Health Mission.
"We believe that Bleepa's digital modular capabilities as a CE marked communications platform would make Bleepa an attractive option for the Indian market. We look forward to scoping the opportunities available with the support of Healthcare UK and DIT."
