From the Desk of INDUSEM Chief Executive Officer Dr. Sagar Galwankar
INDUSEM Commends and Congratulates Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi on his historic address to the Parliament of the United States of America (US Congress).
Today we all feel proud as a part of the INDO-US Emergency and Trauma Collaborative that the vision we cherished for over 12 years was reinforced by what we heard from our Leader PM. Shri Modi.
The Following are some Lines from a Marvelous Speech which have touched mine and every INDUS Citizens Hearts.
“Today:Across its streets and institutions; in its villages and cities; anchored in equal respect for all faiths;andinthe melodyof hundreds of its languages and dialects.
India lives as one; India grows as one; India celebrates as one.”
“Today, a mere distance of 3 miles separates the Martin Luther King memorial at Tidal Basin from the statue of Gandhi at Massachusetts Avenue.This proximity of their memorials in Washington mirrors the closeness of ideals and values they believed in.”
“Connecting our two nations is also a unique and dynamic bridge of three million Indian Americans.Today, they are among your best CEOs; academics; astronauts; scientists; economists; doctors; even spelling bee champions.They are your strength. They are also the pride of India. They symbolize the best of both our societies.”
“Transformative American technologies in India and growing investment by Indian companies in the United States both have a positive impact on the lives of our citizens”
“Ideas which can focus: Not just on creating wealth but also creating value for our societies; Not just on immediate gains but also long term benefits; Not just on sharing best practices but also shaping partnerships; and Not just on building a bright future for our peoples, but in being a bridge to a more united, humane and prosperous world.And,important for the success of this journey would be a need to view it with new eyes and new sensitivities.
When we do this, we will realize the full promise of this extraordinary relationship.”
The mere friendship between the two leaders PM Modi and President Obama is very palpable and positively visible. It was not practiced and not planned….It is all natural !
To get 9 Standing Ovations and more than 25 Clapping Interventions in a speech in US Congress is record setting for any world leader. We are proud of this. It signifies a firm resolve of the leaders and the administration in USA and India to build a new world.
India has always been a Country which advocates and practices peace. Since time and again it’s not known that India invaded any nation. Infact India was always invaded.Our Population, Its Diversity, Its complexities poses enough work at hand for our leaders to not allow our country to indulge in solving others problems.
“Being Good at Home and Great with our own people” is what India and its leaders have practiced for centuries way back from the medieval to historic to now the democratic era.
United States has always believed in playing an instrumental role in resolving challenges across the world. This stems from the fact that historically United States is made up of citizens who originated from the whole world.
History always plays a role in the Present.
The coming together of the two leaders signifies the unity between the two nations to expedite the process of progress and peace.
President Obama and Prime Minister Modi resolved that HealthCare is an area of need where both nations can play a major role.
I feel these are great times for Medicine and Health in India and the United States.
Collaborations between Institutions, Agencies and Individuals in United States and India in the fields of Clinical Medicine, Bench side Research, Health Technology, and Population Sciences under the auspices of Education, Innovation and Patient Care initiatives will be game changers for this multi-billion dollar industry.
It has been recognized by many in both the administrations that INDO-US Partnership in healthcare is crucial to Smart Diplomacy.
“When Brains Meet-Bodies Build”: INDUSEM advocates this passionately.
Health Security is a major challenge to all nations. Ebola and ZIKA continue to be a looming threat and Microbial Invasion is something which can wipe out a whole nation and its economy within a short span.
India has a large population and a larger challenge to contain diseases and foster health. United States has the resources, the technology and the experience to work with India to find solutions to the challenges thus benefitting the world at large.
Indian Technocrats, Researchers, Innovators, Administrators and Physicians in the United States provides a major talent resource. This resource can only grow in a vibrant India. USA has recognized this fact and India has understood the same extremely well.
HealthCare in India needs the technical inputs from United States to create processes for accrediting quality benchmarks for patient care, instituting strong public health education infrastructures, building the Nano Biotech Innovations Corridor, strengthening and modifying the Health Education system towards making it more patient centric and personalized.
It is much defined that definitely the United States can do all of the above.
In return India can provide the much needed constant supply of talent and work force to the United States who will push trade and development by and between the two nations.
Now I will state history:
12 Years ago INDUSEM (www.indusem.org) was born when many like me envisioned that INDIA and United States should work together to do the things which are being chalked out today.
INDUSEM started off with a focus on developing Academic Emergency Medicine and Trauma Sciences in India with technical inputs from the United States.
Today INDUSEM has established partnerships in all the areas of HealthCare namely basic Sciences, Clinical Medicine and Public Health.
INDUSEM has fostered collaborations between individuals, institutions and agencies in India and United States to progress Education, Research and Patient Care.
INDUSEM is a major force in INDO-US Health Advocacy, Policy Development, Health Prevention, Developmental Leadership and Translational Medicine.
INDUSEM has created Networks for bringing existing leaders and discovered human talent to work together to progress India and the United States.
INDUSEM Leaders and Institutions meet regularly, do research together, build policy as partners and advance India and United States as one family.
Leaders across Agencies in India and United States have agreed that INDUSEM is one of the most successful collaborations in history of INDIA-USA partnerships.
“When the World’s Largest and the World’s Oldest Democracies Work Together the World Progresses as One”
This is the Magic Mantra of INDUSEM which is now a accepted Reality by both the nations !
INDUSEM Salutes INDO-US Relations and again Congratulates both Leaders India and USA on yet another step towards Global Peace and Stability.
