RGUHS Seeks Partnership with NITI Aayog to Advance Health Policy

The Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) is seeking a partnership with NITI Aayog to focus on health economics and policy development. Vice-Chancellor Bhagavan B.C. stated that the university intends to provide research and academic expertise to assist in creating sustainable healthcare systems.

The proposed collaboration aims to examine healthcare costs, accessibility, and the economic impact of medical interventions. By utilizing evidence-based research, the university hopes to contribute to the strengthening of India's broader healthcare framework.

R. Balasubramaniam of NITI Aayog noted that India faces a significant challenge regarding its aging population. He indicated that the country currently lacks sufficient healthcare services and trained personnel to adequately support senior citizens.

In response to these findings, RGUHS plans to prioritize the creation of specialized training programs for caregivers. These initiatives are intended to improve the overall quality of patient care across the country.
