The Dhanam HealthCare Summit has kicked off at the Le Meridien Convention Centre in Kochi, opening up a world of possibilities for Kerala's healthcare sector. The event, which brings together professionals, companies, and investors, aims to explore the growth opportunities in the industry.
A.P.M. Mohammed Hanish IAS, the principal secretary of the Industry Department, highlighted that Kerala's healthcare sector is on the brink of significant growth. He pointed out that, after the launch of Invest Kerala, there has been a noticeable rise in global investors taking an interest in the state. With this increased attention, it’s expected that Kerala will see more opportunities and importance in the medical field in the near future.
The opening ceremony saw a number of key figures, including Dr. Jacob Abraham, President of IMA Kochi, and Dr. Sachin Suresh, Secretary of IMA Kochi, as well as professionals from various hospitals and healthcare associations.
This summit, which started early in the morning, has attracted participants not only from Kerala but from outside the state as well. It’s offering a combination of a conference, expo, and award night, giving attendees a chance to meet industry leaders, network, and explore new business opportunities. Some of the topics discussed include medical equipment manufacturing and other healthcare-related sectors, which are seen as potential areas for growth.
The event is being presented by Meitra Hospital, with Federal Bank as the platinum partner. It is expected to dive into the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on healthcare. A special session focused on AI’s role in healthcare will also be held, led by experts from ThinkBio.ai, a company that provides AI-driven services to bio-pharma and clinical healthcare organisations.
