American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI), the largest ethnic physician organization in the United States, representing over 100,000 Indian American Physicians, has initiated preventive healthcare screenings in 75 Indian villages to diagnose any silent diseases, which are causing premature deaths from coronary heart disease and cancers like Breast cancer, cervical cancer, which are preventable if diagnosed early through these annual screenings. During the 15th Annual Global Healthcare Summit, organized in Hyderabad, India, from January 5 to 7th, 2022, Physician Leaders, Hospital CEOs, and Healthcare Industry leaders from the United States and India had an opportunity to brainstorm and explore ways to focus on the theme, “Transformation of Healthcare through Telehealth and Technology usage during this post-Covid Era,” and recommended possible ways to plan and implement preventive medicine that will save resources and precious human lives. We urge the Government of India to appoint an expert panel of nationally recognized experts in the disciplines of preventive medicine and primary care, including internal medicine, family medicine, geriatrics, pediatrics, behavioral medicine, public health, mental health, obstetrics and gynecology, and nursing to create an Indian Preventive Task Force (IPTF). This expert task force should strategize and implement annual preventive healthcare screenings nationwide. We believe the largest democracy in the world needs urgent investment in the preventive health of all its citizens and grassroots level reform of the public healthcare system.
