00:00and the most important one the infrastructure and we have discussed
00:04digital we have discussed AI and technology but what about infrastructure
00:09so let me try Dr. Swamitro Chakrabart he was the CEO of innovative project
00:14management services one of India's leading project management and CSR
00:18advisory firm whose work spends healthcare education and community
00:23infrastructure projects across the country including through its foundation
00:27CCSE he brings the builders view of healthcare how strategy on paper
00:32becomes concrete equipment and functioning institutions on the ground
00:37Dr. Swamitro Chakrabart thank you Lokindra and to begin with I would like you to
00:43since we are talking about health and lifestyle the small exercise that you
00:48can do for Bhanu and his entire team to have organized this it creates one joule
00:54of energy and creates a triggering mechanism for mood enhancing hormones
00:58please give a big round of applause to the entire CIA team for organizing this you
01:03can be louder than this for them so we I'm here to basically tell you something
01:11about AI and its infrastructural issues that we face right now but I'm going to
01:19begin the entire analogy with a story and also with a due understanding that I'm a
01:26bit under the weather so I can take a water break if I get stuck in between so
01:31the story starts between two children aged 10 years one is Vikram who stays in
01:39Lucknow these are hypothetical stories which I'm going to come to a synopsis at the
01:44end of the day at the end of my speech I think Vikram stays in Lucknow and Suresh stays in
01:52a remote
01:52village in Bundelkhand both develop on a given day the same illness well the
02:00technology around us here sitting in this five-star hotel seems to be quite great but
02:07the technology around Suresh who's in the village is very different a Vikram goes to a hospital in
02:13three hours he is diagnosed with the latest technology including artificial
02:19intelligence wherever applicable and the latest diagnostic tools available and he
02:25gets medical care and in a matter of few hours he stabilizes for the same illness
02:33Suresh's parents first have to figure out where is the nearest PHC and believe you
02:39to me when I say this I have a lot of impact data to share with you that the
02:44greatest problem in this country today especially because the majority of the
02:48population stays in the rural part of India is not infrastructure it is access to
02:54infrastructure so even in UP in a state of UP and I have been listening to some of
03:00the domains of the health sector who have been speaking from morning I still
03:05majority of the states I still think majority of the states in India suffer
03:10from accessibility to health infrastructure and if you look at the
03:14number of deaths you'll realize that about 40% of the deaths especially in
03:21rural India happened because timely intervention of diagnostic services or
03:26healthier systems don't exist now for example going with my story if Suresh has
03:33to travel three hours or four hours to reach to a facility or a PHC again I
03:39would like to highlight you know there is overarching a lot of data available in
03:44India that 70% of our PHCs suffer from specialist sort of not being available at
03:52the time when the patient needs a specialist roughly our PHC is catered to
03:58about what if I am NOT wrong somebody can correct me if I'm wrong it is about 35
04:03to 36,000 people one PHC caters to them and about 1,65,000 people the CHC
04:09caters but you will find that about 70 there's a deficiency of 70 plus
04:14percentage of specialists in these CHCs so one of the concept is is when we when we
04:21sit in a five-star hotel like this and we discuss health and we go 500
04:25kilometers out of Lucknow and enter into a village the scenario completely changes
04:29you know I myself have used wearables coming from technology how we have taken
04:38off but you know all those diagnostic services AI automation we talked a lot
04:44about it but we are only centric to one issue and that is the health services in
04:50the urban or the semi-urban space yes internet has or digital intervention has
04:57reached to the roots of the society even to rural parts of India but has health
05:02services also reached with that speed I think one of the things that when we
05:06discuss automation when we discuss AI intervention my answer is yes we need a
05:10lot more than where we are today and I agree with everyone in the panel that yes we
05:14require a lot the problem is is the last person standing is the room in at the
05:20remotest village in India how fast is he going to get that service whether it is
05:26screening whether it is diagnostic whether it is health services when is he
05:31going to get it the data doesn't support that we are reaching at that we are
05:37helping that last man standing on the line so for me the greatest discrepancy in
05:45this infrastructure come artificial intelligence come health services debate
05:50is the geographic reality and the hindrances that it creates for
05:57accessibility to be created and to be enabled for people at the remotest part of
06:03this country to get health services if for example imagine today in the morning
06:12Dr. Upasana Rada was sitting here and I was just thinking while I was also talking to
06:17her in the speakers gallery and I realize what kind of services the hospital is
06:20giving imagine the similar kind of services extend to the remotest part of
06:25this country we will not be restricted to discussing a lot of projects on PPP mode in
06:32fact the infrastructure already exists there is no I if you ask me personally I
06:39don't think there's a lot of requirement of infrastructure I think there is a lot
06:43of requirement of skilled manpower in that infrastructure and even in the
06:48morning we were having a discussion and I think we need to motivate our
06:53current generation to ensure that we are able to create a conducive environment for
06:59AI and automation related infrastructures to reach to this and create this last
07:05mile connectivity because I think that is where the health sector is missing out
07:09and if I can relate a bit it is similar to the education space but because the
07:14summit is speaking majorly on health therefore I will restrict myself to
07:17health so AI can be a great facilitator or a force multiplier when it comes to
07:23screening diagnostics or something but if you are unable to create a connection
07:28between AI automation technology and the Asha worker and then to the
07:34Anganwari and then take it to the specialist on the BHC and ensure that there is a
07:38specialist available not only when a patient is brought but also when a patient
07:43needs it or needs it I think we will do world of good one more thing I think I
07:51wanted to focus majorly on is the question and the debate around the world
08:00today is is artificial intelligence going to replace human beings now let me
08:06understand and try and talk to you through this and put my point across I
08:11think we're talking about health and one thing I can guarantee you how much ever AI
08:17you you enable and you bring AI can never replace doctors AI can never replace
08:26nursing staff you can have robotic surgeries I heard the robotic surgeries I
08:31think even robotic surgeries are not possible without doctors behind it right so I
08:37think if we use artificial intelligence or technology as a tool to create an
08:45environment where we facilitate doctors for more efficient and optimization
08:50optimal use of resources to take the benefits not only in the urban centers but
08:56take it ahead I give you a small example how many I think most of us in this room
09:02would have heard about telemedicine right it's a great concept but if you look at
09:09the telemedicine as a concept and as a service and compare it to the PhD or the
09:14CHC intervention in the rural areas of the country you will understand that there
09:19is a huge discrepancy and telemedicine stands no chance today in comparison to
09:24the infrastructure that we have with respect to PHC's and CHC's barring not
09:29only in Uttar Pradesh but beyond Uttar Pradesh across the country now Aishman Bhadar did a
09:34great job it created a bridge for a connectivity between the private and the
09:38public sector and for an optimal use of the services of the private sector also
09:44to be brought in my question is that we completely alienate a factor that in spite
09:52of Aishman Bhadar or projects like that majority of Indian rural families are away
10:00from poverty only if they're waiting for one health distress means I'm all for technology okay
10:08I myself use a lot of technology I myself use variables I'm always for going ahead with it and
10:14I think technology will reach we are 1.46 billion population if the technology is not connecting to
10:20everyone in the country means we are a great market if we can market ourselves and we can reach
10:25to everyone in the country that will be a phenomenal achievement for the health sector of any state
10:31or the center or the country at large to achieve an optimal result in the sector of health my only
10:39question comes is even today as I speak as data as recent as July 2026 nearly 55 million people in
10:50a year
10:57when we talk of technology when we talk of accessibility when we talk of so many schemes I'm not against
11:04it but I
11:04get a bit confused means you're talking of 55 million people in a population every year for a population size
11:10of 1.46 billion who are pushed into poverty because of one health distress I think we need a lot
11:16more
11:16Ayushman Bharat I think even Ayushman Bharat should have a component of technology been used I think the
11:23technology and the AI should transcend itself and transit from only urban centers and be taken to the
11:29rural areas where we can save a percentage of that 55 million the next year from shifting into poverty so
11:40if
11:40we use data and technology to create an insight for creating a need and a necessity of health
11:50interventions it is great but it is absolutely useless if we only use it for decisions to be taken
11:59for urban centers I think we the need of the hour is that to create impact in the sector of
12:07health and to
12:08ensure that each program whether public whether private whether public private jointly if it needs
12:15to achieve the results that is desired of it we will have to ensure that discussions today tomorrow day
12:22after overall the health sector has to understand that it has to leverage technology leverage manpower skill
12:30up manpower and ensure that we are able to take it to the last person standing on the line and
12:36save that
12:37and that will be really meaningful for the entire health sector and thank you all for coming today I
12:44hope the discussion discussion moves from the stage of only talking about technology and infrastructure and
12:50it creates a platform for discussion to create access of healthcare for every single person out of the
12:581.46 billion people in India thank you for listening to me and once again my heartiest congratulations to
13:05the entire CIA team for putting this all together thank you very much thank you dr. Somitra I mean you
13:14have nailed the problem I mean now the problem statements there and as we all know the resilient
13:19healthcare system has got three is a triad of technology infrastructure and skill men bar as you rightly said if
13:26anyone is
13:27missing if skill men bar is missing the other two is only a mere decoration but moving forward with with
13:34the panel
13:35discussion I mean I am going to start with this only and then because you have heard the speakers I
13:40want
13:40engagement from the audience I mean learned audience and dignitaries who last question for dr. Somitra I mean
13:46again is for you P only UPS building at district scale we have already started doing that medical colleges critical
13:52care blogs
13:53integrated labs how should the state structure public private and CSR capital so this infrastructure is
14:01operationally sustainable for next 10 years it has to be sustainable again a medical college when I
14:07integrated lab hair yeah Mari hub and spoke models and so how public private relationship I mean you have
14:12already talked about that I even the CSR from the companies so to make it sustainable for next 10
14:19years it has to be sustainable enough so I think I can just speak very briefly on three important points
14:26first is when you develop a model let's look at it so we have a lot of private sector enterprises
14:31here
14:32sitting one of the things is there are two ways you can start a company and all of you are
14:37basically
14:37entrepreneurs are in an entrepreneurial journey you'd realize that there are two important mindsets when
14:43you start a company either you start a company to operate for a short term or you have started a
14:47company to operate for a long term every micro decision that you take on a daily basis whether
14:53policy level or execution you realize that your first marker of whether you were you started this
14:59company for long term or a short term would be determined of the sequence of decisions that you take
15:05so whatever private public partnership or whatever models you want to enable you will have to keep a
15:11longer farsight in mind so having a project you know one of the things that becomes a problem is
15:18this five-year election thing you know what happens is there's so many elections are always going on
15:23so and at most of the times when we see that governance structure changes and the and the prioritization
15:29changes to certain extent what the distortion the disruption it brings is in continuity so if if
15:37we can develop consensus at a central level and decide that you know we will develop a plan for the
15:42next 10
15:43years or 15 years for adoption of technology or you know skilling manpower or incentivizing manpower to
15:51be there for a doctor who has spent 10-12 years in education should be able to go to a
15:57village or a
15:58phc in bundelkhand and is compensated well enough taken care of right something that we don't also
16:05spoke about if if that if that is attractive enough if we can make that attractive enough I don't think
16:11that especially in this generation there is dirt of any kind of patriotism or a need to work for the
16:17rural India exists but I think the vision has to be long run long term do I think the private
16:25sector has to
16:25realize that they have a responsibility and they and they cannot treat that responsibility only as
16:31consumers I think that themselves also have to take responsibility of taking care of the consumers
16:36when you decide that we will take care of our consumers you will start looking at the social
16:42angle of it and third and the most important I think the government has to be ready to not only
16:48allow policy making to be seamless but also partnership enabling conducive environment has
16:55to be brought up by them and maybe not this conference maybe this conference maybe some
17:01closed-door roundtables but we will have to engage with the private sector because they have much more
17:06to offer than what is assumed that they are to offer I think we take private sector for granted to
17:13a certain
17:13extent I am telling my opinion that we need we call them only for a certain amount of funds or
17:19a tech
17:19to come in but I think we have to listen we have to talk to people and listen to the
17:23private sector
17:24I think they have a lot to give and if the government and the private sector is ready I think
17:29you have
17:291.46 billion consumer base to adopt and that kind of thing yes yes I mean definitely a request dr.
17:37look into gupta to kindly present memento to all our panelists mr. aviral jain mr.
