'Healthcare inclusion will help tackle manpower shortage'

India needs to adopt a model like the 'financial inclusion' drive to tackle the shortage of skilled and employable manpower in the healthcare sector, according to experts at a seminar here on Tuesday.

“Like the country has initiated the ‘financial inclusion’, which focuses on banking for everyone, we should find our sustainable models to create more healthcare professionals and to provide basic health services in remote villages,” said Vikas Singh, president, Crux Management Systems Private Limited.

He was speaking at a seminar on ‘Healthcare skills and employability' organised by the CII-Andhra Pradesh in association with the UK India Busienss Council.
