India hope synergy between Ayushman Bharat scheme & Japan’s Health & Wellbeing Initiativ

PM Narendra Modi and PM Shinzo Abe visited the FANUC Corporation in Japan, which is one of the largest makers of industrial robots in the world in Yamanashi. The leaders toured the robotics and automation facilities. Both the leaders also held informal talk ahead of India – Japan Summit.

India is hoping to have some kind of synergy or integration between Modi’s Ayushman Bharat scheme, which is the largest medicare programme of its kind globally, and the Japanese programme, which is called Asia Health and Wellbeing Initiative.

Prime Minister Modi has said that projects such as the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail and Dedicated Freight Corridors reflected the high level and “strength of our economic engagement”. Japan is also at the forefront of engaging in our national initiatives, such as ‘Make in India’, ‘Skill India’, ‘Digital India’, ‘Start Up India’… Japanese investors have faith in India’s economic future, which is marked with myriad opportunities. Modi will also address the Indian community function in Tokyo and will attend a series of business events and address the business forum.
