Indian venture philanthropy organization, ACT, and Global Health Labs, Inc. (GH Labs), a non-profit supported by Gates Ventures, have joined forces in a strategic collaboration. Their shared mission is to identify, support, and nurture digital and medical technology innovators within India's public healthcare system.

The primary objective is to enhance access to quality and affordable healthcare for underserved populations through the development and scaling of innovative healthcare solutions.

The lack of adequate infrastructure and healthcare professionals in low-resourced areas of India presents significant obstacles to accessing quality healthcare. This collaboration seeks to break these barriers by introducing cutting-edge healthcare technology to improve care quality in primary healthcare settings.

Krisha Mathur, Director of ACT For Health, emphasized, "Our collaboration with GH Labs aims to bring innovative health-tech solutions to underserved areas, making a tangible impact on public healthcare. The goal is to bridge the accessibility to affordability gap for quality healthcare in Bharat."

Pooling their expertise and resources, ACT For Health and GH Labs plans to provide technological support, conduct assessments in public health environments, and explore avenues to scale Indian health-tech innovations. Their collective vision is to make a substantial difference in communities facing critical challenges in accessing quality healthcare.

Sharon Bergquist, special projects at GH Labs, expressed enthusiasm about the collaboration: "Global Health Labs is excited to partner with ACT For Health, uniting our expertise and dedication to fostering innovation. Our joint effort aims to enhance primary healthcare and reduce health disparities through innovative solutions."

This partnership between ACT and GH Labs signifies a concerted effort to drive healthcare innovation, aiming to bring about tangible improvements in primary healthcare and address health disparities in underserved communities across India.
