The India Business Forum is a platform for global business leaders, academics, policy makers and sector specialists to debate the pertinent issues affecting environment and health in India.
Some of the globally renowned speakers, who will be addressing the forum include, Shashi Tharoor, Chairman, Afras Ventures; Pavan Sukhdev, Managing Director - Global Markets, Deutsche Bank AG; Prof K. Srinath Reddy, Chairman, Public Health Foundation of India; Kirit Parikh, Member, Planning Commission of India; Jishnu Das, Senior Economist, World Bank; Dr Naresh Trehan, Chairman, Global Health Private Ltd and Dr. Ian Goldin, Director, 21st Century School.
The Public Health panel will be moderated by Professor Colin Mayer, Dean of Sad Business School, and the Environment panel will be moderated by Lord Patten, Chancellor of the University of Oxford.
The forum will open with addresses by Mr. S. Ramadorai, CEO, Tata Consultancy Services and Dr Rajiv Lall, Managing Director, IDFC.
Says Said Business School, India covers 2.4 percent of the Earths surface. The country faces the daunting challenge of supporting 16 percent of the worlds population. The result is a severely unsustainable degradation of natural resources. Quality health-care remains inaccessible throughout the country, despite the presence of a highly skilled and qualified medical workforce. In two panel sessions, the Oxford India Business Forum will explore both the environmental issues for India and discuss how best to provide the Indian population with adequate healthcare.
According to Said Business School, this discussion could not come at a more appropriate time - the population of India has surpassed one billion. Over a million people, predominantly women and children, die each year in India due to lack of adequate healthcare. 700 million people have no access to specialist care, as 80 percent of the specialists live in urban areas. These health issues exist in a background of deteriorating environmental conditions. While this is a global problem, the strain of these problems can be very severe especially on developing countries such as India. Unless these issues of limited natural resources, the rapidly growing population, basic healthcare and air and water pollution can be addressed, simply pursuing the objective of growing the economy seems short-sighted, says Said Business School.
