As part of the project, 5000 clinics and 11 medicities will be launched across India by leveraging the UK National Health Service (NHS)’s expertise, equipment and suppliers.
IUCs are part of discussions between India and the UK at Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) level in 2018.
A second IUC clinic is set to open at an existing Covid Hospital in Patiala, Punjab, said the Indo UK Institute of Health (IUIH) and IUCs managing director and group CEO Dr Ajay Rajan Gupta.
Gupta added: “During this pandemic, we want to enhance our contribution to the Indian healthcare diagnostic space by setting up five Indo UK Clinics this financial year.
“We want to support the Indian government in delivering diagnostic equipment and services to serve the Indian population during these difficult times.”
In addition to primary healthcare services, IUCs will deliver radiology-based diagnostic imaging and artificial intelligence (AI)-based telemedicine services.
