Prof (Dr) Sarman Singh, Director & CEO, AIIMS Bhopal at 3rd Healthcare Innovation Summit, Bengaluru.
India is capital of diabetes and other non-communicable diseases are also increasing in unprecedented manner. We have minimum patents on front of innovations and technologies. One out of seven technologies patented was taken up by the Government of India recently. The technology helped us to eliminate Kalazaar, common disease in eastern parts of country. The kit we developed detects the disease within five to ten minutes. India allocates less amount of budget on research and development (R&D), less than one percent of GDP. Korea and Japan are among countries which spend maximum amount on R&D.
