Our Vision

3. • Adopting innovations is increasingly becoming the norm across all the sectors
including healthcare. The scope and avenues available for innovations in
healthcare are plenty depending on the implementing stakeholder and the
intended benefit. e.g. while hospitals may view products which help reduce
costs and improve health as an innovation, patients and consumers of health
care may view products that provide financial protection as innovations.
Innovation itself emerges as a powerful Mantra : Innovate or Die.
Importance of Innovation in Healthcare

4. • To improve access to quality screening, diagnostic and treatment services there is need
to have a robust, scalable and a sustainable PPP Model in Health Sector. It is proposed
to involve NGOs, civil society and private sector in health promotion, early diagnosis and
treatment of common diseases.
• Public Private Partnership in making healthcare a success will -
 Help in Decongesting the Tertiary health facilities at the State level.
 Reducing Out of Pocket (OOP) expenditure on diagnosis, treatment and care.
 Augmenting capacity at District Hospitals to provide at least basic Tertiary care and
advanced secondary care.
Importance of PPP Model

5. • Chandigarh has a population of approx 13 lacs having a footfall of 877503 as OPD in
GMSH 16.
• Chandigarh Health Department is on a constant move to facilitate its beneficiaries.
• Therefore way back in year 2000 when it was found that people were finding it difficult to
get their radiological procedures done due to long waiting dates or Non functional
machines at Govt Hospital. The idea of Empanelment was conceived and centres were
duly empanelled for services after tendering the process.
• This in turn worked as a very convenient arrangement for the Hospital as well as for the
patient.
• Moving with the time and to provide better services it was thought to start the services of
CT and MRI.
