Founder’s Message

Dr. Rajendra Pratap Gupta, PhD

Founder – Health Parliament & Former Advisor to the Union Health Minister, Government of India.

“Considering the current state of affairs in healthcare, if we reflect back, we will realize that while there are many forums that profess to impact policies and represent the industry, these forums have not been able to impact enough to make healthcare accessible, affordable, and of acceptable quality. In fact, these organizations only represent a few large corporations and their interests, not those of healthcare. Even the policymakers look at their work and inputs with skepticism.

COVID has laid bare the reality of the healthcare system, and it’s a call to action for all of us to galvanize our efforts for transforming healthcare without any further delay. This was the trigger for me to establish this multi-stakeholder convening body with a think tank – Health Parliament.

We continuously engage with leaders across sectors and regularly share our inputs with policymakers and the industry. Besides, we undertake primary and secondary research; building the world’s largest community of healthcare professionals and have developed our Proprietary Leadership Development Model (Health Parliament Fellowship) for developing the future influencers of the healthcare sector.

Since our inception, our policy papers have created an impact in India and globally. We will continue to work to transform healthcare by working together.”
