Washington: Indian American physicians plan to hold a Global Healthcare Summit in Mumbai from January 2 to 4 to discuss ways to bring the most innovative, efficient and cost-effective healthcare solutions to India.
Organised by the Association of American Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI), which has more than 100,000 members, in collaboration with the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the summit will be held at Trident Oberoi Hotel, Nariman Point.
