First of all country needs robust healthcare delivery system at primary, secondary and tertiary level which doesn''t exist or function, limited availability in private sector where common man finds costs unbearable. Technology automation is the next step.Regarding digital health/ heath IT, there are vested groups and individuals that have been working since UPA government. Same set of individuals are involved right now. These people have their own business interests to promote after adoption of standards. First set of standard documents lack quality and contain irrelevant information. Certain individuals having no real credentials are leading advocacy as well. There are those who are retired from Government but still connected to the lobby. There is another large company that has taken multi year government contract where draft standard was used as qualifying criteria, again during UPA tenure with Congress state government. Entire health IT governance framework creation and various projects need to be inspected. Current set of individuals involved need to be removed. Multi company representatives and academic committee needs to be established to take this forwardRead allPost comment
