Come winter and NRI season would start in India, especially in Gujarat and Punjab. Narendra Modi’s popularity graph among Indian diaspora, especially in America is constantly soaring, despite US denied diplomatic visa to the Gujarat Chief Minister. On January 3, 2014, the Association of American Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) has invited Modi to inaugurate AAPI’s eighth annual Global Healthcare Summit (GHS).
Apart from BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, former President of India APJ Abdul Kalam will also attend the inaugural ceremony of the three-day summit. Confirming the development president of AAPI, Dr Jayesh Shah said that Modi and Kalam have consented to grace GHS opening ceremony.
Shah said that the idea of organising the event is to make a bridge between world renowned doctors and Indian doctors in various branches of medicine. “As many as 500 international delegates from America, Europe and other countries have confirmed to attend the event. Besides 1,500 doctors from across India are expected to attend the Global Summit to be held at Gujarat University Convention Hall in Ahmedabad,” said Shah.
AAPI organised first global summit in Delhi. The summit in Ahmedabad will be held in collaboration with the Global Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (GAPIO) and Indian Medical Association (IMA) and the Ministry of Overseas Indian Affairs & Ministry of Health.
While elaborating the objectives of the summit, Shah said, “This innovative summit is aimed at advancing the accessibility, affordability and the quality of world-class healthcare to the people of India. Among other areas, the Summit will focus on prevention, diagnosis, treatment options and share ways to truly improve healthcare transcending global boundaries.”
