Kochi is currently hosting one of Kerala’s biggest healthcare summits, the Dhanam Healthcare Summit, at Le Meridien Convention Centre. The event features a mix of discussions, exhibitions, and networking opportunities, bringing together key players from the healthcare sector.
The summit’s exhibition section is drawing significant interest, with 32 stalls set up by leading hospitals and companies in the industry. The focus is on healthcare technology, particularly advancements in medical equipment, artificial intelligence (AI), and surgical tools. Observers note that India’s healthcare technology sector is rapidly evolving, and this event highlights some of the latest trends.
Several well-known hospitals, including Medical Trust Hospital, Ernakulam Medical Centre, Rajagiri Hospital, and Caritas Hospital, have set up stalls, possibly to showcase their services and innovations. There is also a focus on Make in India, a government initiative that encourages local manufacturing, particularly in the medical equipment sector.
One of the key features of the summit is a special session on AI in healthcare. The discussions seem to revolve around how AI is shaping the industry and what changes might be expected in the future. AI-driven solutions in biopharma, clinical healthcare, and diagnostics are reportedly gaining momentum, and this summit provides a platform to explore their impact.
Organised in association with IMA Kochi, the summit aims to bring together professionals, innovators, and business leaders. While the event may open up new business opportunities, it also provides a chance for attendees to gauge the direction in which healthcare technology is headed. With AI and automation becoming more prominent in medical care, many are keen to see what lies ahead for the industry.
For now, the Dhanam Healthcare Summit offers a glimpse into the future of healthcare in India, though how quickly these advancements will be integrated into everyday medical practice remains to be seen.
