The UK and Indian governments have set up an implementation taskforce to ensure closer collaboration and speedy implementation of these and other healthcare projects. These aim to bring the UK’s finest universities, companies and NHS organisations to India.
Healthcare UK assisted King's College Hospital and Indo UK Healthcare Pvt Ltd to bring this exciting partnership to fruition. It will continue to support the development of the Indo-UK Institutes of Health.
