French Healthcare Companies to Visit Delhi and Mumbai With Their Technologies and Solutions for Hospitals in India

Business France, the Trade & Investment Commission of France in India is welcoming a French Healthcare delegation of 6 French companies to India from 1st to 4th July. The delegation will be meeting representatives from Indian hospitals. These B2B meetings will be organized in Delhi from 1st to 2nd July and in Mumbai from 3rd to 4th July.

India is expected to rank among the top three global health markets in terms of forecasting growth by 2020. Thanks to increased purchasing power, growing awareness of well-being and better access to health insurance, India's health sector is expected to reach 320 billion € by 2022. The Indian hospital sector is expected to grow by 16-17% annually.

This delegation that will consist of six French companies will be in India to understand the trends of the health sector and its working and will give them a chance to meet their prospective commercial partners. In addition, the companies will also attend an informative session on the Indian health sector (provided by professionals) at the premises of the French Embassy in New Delhi on Monday, 1st July 2019. Following this, the companies will then attend personalized B2B meetings. The delegation will also be visiting the biggest hospitals in the city like Apollo Hospital, Indraprastha. This will be followed by a two-day visit to Mumbai for their B2B meetings.

Government initiatives such as national health coverage for the poorest, called as the 'Ayushman Bharat' and the dynamism of the private sector make India a country of opportunity, in which it becomes crucial to deliver health care.

With the last visit of the French President, Emmanuel Macron to India, it is clear that France is focusing on technology in healthcare and wants to further develop strong partnerships with India. "India is becoming the most preferred healthcare destination. The country is renowned for its skilled doctors and world-class hospitals. France is known for its innovative, high-quality biomedical research and its excellence in treatment and patient care. This meet in July will be a good platform for Indian and French healthcare players to interact and share their knowledge," says Binder Rault, Head of Healthcare and Lifestyle sector for India at Business France.

In the years to come, Business France looks forward to organizing such initiatives at a greater scale and strengthen the Indo-French relationships.
