On World Diabetes Day (14 November), Union Minister for Science and Technology Dr. Jitendra Singh, introduced a concept he termed “PPP plus PPP” – or “public-private partnership domestically, collaborating with public-private partnerships internationally.”
- He outlined this model as a two-tiered collaboration where India’s public and private sectors unite internally to strengthen healthcare infrastructure while simultaneously engaging with international counterparts.
- The Minister emphasised that by building this layered partnership model, India can accelerate innovation, improve healthcare accessibility, and drive sustainable, scalable solutions for diabetes care.
- This collaborative framework, he noted, is key to tackling healthcare challenges of such vast proportions and harnessing global expertise for local benefit.
- Diabetes and well-being is the theme for World Diabetes Day 2024-26.
