SWEDISH HEALTHCARE DELEGATION TRIP TO INDIA 2013 MESSAGE FROM THE EMBASSY OF SWEDEN - NEW DELHI

It is a great pleasure to welcome this Health Delegation, representing both the Government of Sweden and industry, to India October 07-10, 2013.

Sweden and India share a long and successful history of cooperation. We have exchanged ideas, knowledge and technology within many sectors and developed strong business relations. Technology development and innovation is the key in H.E. Mr. Harald Sandberg| Ambassador Photo: Pawel Flato

the India-Swedish partnership. India is a vibrant democracy with a high potential of economic growth in the long run. It is an important country for Swedish business. Health is an area where Sweden and India have growing interest and intention to strengthen bilateral ties and form strategic alliances. The Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in the field of health care and public health, signed between the India and the Sweden in February 2009, will soon complete the first five years.

Healthcare is one of India's largest service industries and the opportunities are equally compelling, from developing new infrastructure and providing medical devices and equipment to delivering telemedicine solutions and conducting cost-effective clinical trials. Despite a huge public health infrastructure, there is an enormous growth of the private health care market.

India's private hospitals provide high-end specialized healthcare and have emerged as a destination for medical tourism.

I hope you have fruitful interaction with the public and private sector representatives during your stay. On behalf of 'Team Sweden' in India, we are happy to extend all our support.

Yours sincerely, Harald Sandberg Ambassador

SWEDISH HEALTHCARE DELEGATION TRIP TO INDIA 2013 MESSAGE FROM THE CONSULATE GENERAL - MUMBAI

I would like to welcome all the delegates of this health care delegation to Mumbai – the city that never sleeps.

Maharashtra is one of the richest states in India, and it scores well above average in terms of health care services. The national government has committed itself to spend more resources on health care, but one shouldn’t forget that a large portion of the funding for Ms. Fredrika Ornbrant | Consul General Photo: Catarina Axelsson

public health care services stems from the states. It is actually the state government that has the primary responsibilities for administrating and funding health care services, and they pay for nearly two thirds of total public health care costs. Maharashtra has 130 government hospitals, and we will visit two of them, and 8 primary health centers.

Sweden and India might differ when it comes to the structures of the health care sector, but we are struggling with the same problems regarding life-style related diseases, antibiotic resistance and infection control.

I hope this visit will lead to a fruitful interaction between the delegation and our Indian partners, where our common problems can be discussed and where Sweden could contribute with our technical and medical solutions to some of our common problems.

Enjoy the visit!

Fredrika Ornbrant Consul General Mumbai

SWEDISH HEALTHCARE DELEGATION TRIP TO INDIA 2013 GRIPPINGHEART AB

GrippingHeart is a Swedish company that was founded in 2003 to develop medical technology solutions for analyzing function in the heart and circulatory system.

GrippingHeart founders Stig Lundbäck, MD PhD, and Jonas Johnson, MSc, spent most of their careers studying the pumping Stig Lundbäck | MD PhD, CEO and Chief Scientific Officer

principles of the human heart, and used their scientific findings to outline an innovative model for how the heart pumps and autoregulates the flow of blood throughout our bodies.

They showed that the heart’s pumping and auto-regulation of blood, from a mechanical aspect, is working according to a previously unknown pump technology, The Dynamic Adaptive Piston Pump Technology (DAPP-technology). The DAPP-technology can on the basis of fluid- and pump mechanical principles explain how the heart behaves for circulating and regulating the blood flow with such paradoxical high efficiency and precision in our complex circulatory system.

The discovery of the DAPP-technology by Lundbäck as early as 1984 and the continuous development of the concept have made it possible to model and analyze the heart in new ways by using DAPP as a reference frame for the heart’s pump and regulating mechanics which has been used to develop GrippingHeart’s unique technology for quantifying cardiac mechanics.
