The company will take the lead in improving healthcare in Gujarat in four areas identified by the state's government: mother and child health, trauma care, kidney diseases, and ophthalmologic diseases.
Philips will lead a consortium of over 36 Indian and non-Indian healthcare vendors, and will assume responsibility for upgrading and maintaining medical facilities. Philips will modernize 65 facilities throughout Gujarat, including community health centers, all district hospitals, and all teaching hospitals. The company will also develop six mobile ophthalmology units for cataract surgeries.
