Dr Sanjeev Singh said healthcare in India is transforming: Times Now Summit 2025 Highlight

Dr. Sanjeev Singh of Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre in Faridabad shared his perspective on healthcare development in India at the Times Now Summit 2025. From using the latest technology to emphasizing preventive care, he highlighted the progress being made in making healthcare more accessible, affordable, and personalized for everyone.

Dr Singh noted that technological advancements are the main driving force behind these changes. Healthcare innovations that use telemedicine and artificial intelligence make healthcare accessible in remote locations such as small villages, hard-to-reach towns, and hilly places where people reside. Through telemedicine, patients receive online doctor consultations at home, which provides proper medical attention without them needing to make lengthy travels. The use of AI technology is advancing medical diagnostics while forecasting health patterns to generate personalized therapeutic strategies for each patient.

India has faced difficulties in healthcare accessibility since the start of its medical system. He described strategies that focus on building up basic healthcare services while broadening health insurance enrollment. The Ayushman Bharat healthcare program assists millions of patients in obtaining medical insurance coverage which shields them from fiscal risks during medical crises. Such a modification has become essential because it secures financial protection for households that formerly lacked healthcare affordability. 

Dr Singh explained that preventive healthcare systems represent the solution to combat rising diabetes and hypertension cases in India. Early detection becomes possible through awareness initiatives and periodic medical examinations enabling people to take positive actions for their health maintenance. Community-based health initiatives serve as essential platforms to promote changes in healthy living behaviors among people.

During the discussion, Dr. Singh drew attention with his interpretation linking genetic mapping to the Indian birth-chart tradition known as janampatri. Dr Singh pointed out that genome sequencing allows people to gain knowledge about their health factors and behavior similar to how a janampatri uses astrology for life event prediction.

The genome will develop into a personal soothsaying tool equivalent to the traditional Indian janampatri. According to Dr Singh "The genome-patri will become understandable when we examine the gut microbiome so we can understand both your behavior patterns and the predicted timeline of your life through these two to three decades."

The medical field advanced through the development of "genome-patri" technology. Studies of inherited genetic factors enable people to understand their medical vulnerabilities so they can begin preventive actions at an early stage. The strategy complies with current global precision medicine patterns because it adjusts treatment methods along with lifestyle guidance based on genetic information.

Multiple sectors, including government and private companies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), need to join forces according to the summit discussions. Dr Singh stressed at the summit the value of public-private partnerships (PPPs) because they merge assets and competence from divergent domains to boost innovation and service quality.

Despite the noted positive developments, more challenges continue to exist. The nation currently suffers from an insufficient workforce of healthcare providers, which affects rural communities most severely. Indian healthcare infrastructure is inadequate while urban populations receive better medical care than rural populations do. The country needs persistent investments in healthcare personnel training as well as facility development across its entire span to tackle these challenges, said Dr Singh.

Dr Singh presented a positive prediction concerning healthcare developments in India. Dr. Singh predicts a healthcare model that unites innovative technology with reasonable medical access and prevention-orientated care to develop a healthier national population. Medical organizations maintain extensive efforts to reform healthcare by providing patients with ways to gain more authority over their own well-being.

The Times Now Summit 2025 offered leaders, including Dr. Singh, an opportunity to explore collective sector cooperation for future Indian development. The healthcare industry leads Indian transformation toward worldwide leadership status in health innovation.

All-in-all, the summit highlighted that quality healthcare accessibility for every Indian citizen evolves alongside nationwide progress due to collective efforts to defeat obstacles.
