Bill Gates says India building future with affordable healthcare
India is not just building for itself, it is creating solutions that have the potential to transform global health and development, Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates said on Wednesday.

He was speaking at ‘Future Forward’, a forum hosted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in collaboration with the Gates Foundation and the Women’s Collective Forum, at the Pradhan Mantri Sangrahalaya, New Delhi.


Gates referred to India’s digital ecosystem, inclusive economic growth and technological breakthroughs as a model for the world.

“India has made significant progress in health and development through low-cost innovations,” he said.

He also said India is building the future with its role in affordable healthcare, AI-powered diagnostics and digital public infrastructure. He pointed to the importance of scaling India’s innovative solutions globally to address challenges in emerging economies. He reaffirmed the Foundation’s commitment to working with Indian innovators, policymakers, and entrepreneurs in AI, healthcare, and sustainable development.

Former Minister Smriti Irani, Chairperson, Alliance for Global Good-Gender Equity and Equality, referred to investment for social innovation as “a transformative force that reshapes societies”.

Sanjiv Puri, President of CII, and Chairman and MD of ITC Ltd, said: “The success of initiatives like the Ayushman Bharat program and digital financial inclusion, and AI powered agricultural solutions, proves...policy and technology...can create scalable, sustainable solutions that serve as global benchmarks”.

Saying something nice about a country like India will obviously sound sweet to Indians.

Gates knows this.

Low cost healthcare for the poor is not exclusive to India.

China also has it, and that is why a lot of Bangladeshis are going there now, in absence of Indian medical visas. Thailand too.

I'm very weary of his push for vaccines, in fact, scratch that.. he's manically obsessive about running all these vaccine programs in the poor world, Africa, subcontinent here, south America..

Allopathy stresses too much on control of decease and not on being healthy and curing the decease. Aurveda says

प्रयोजनं चास्य स्वस्थस्य स्वास्थ्यरक्षणं आतुरस्य विकारप्रशमनं च ॥

Means:

• To maintain the health of a healthy individual (Swasthasya Swasthya Rakshanam).
• To cure diseases in an ill person (Aturasya Vikara Prashamanam).

We need to gradually shift to Ayurveda and ditch Allopathy gradually. We use it too much. What we need to do is to use it as and when other therapies don't available. In rest of the cases, we should use other therapies predominantly Ayurveda.
