The unfortunate facts about healthcare delivery systems are that- (a) half of the world’s population cannot obtain essential health services (b) 800 million people spend at least 10 percent of their household budgets on health expenses for themselves, a sick child or other family member (c) 100 million people these expenses are high enough to push them into extreme poverty, forcing them to survive on just $1.90 or less a day.
We can change these unfortunate facts by developing affordable, portable and usable technologies to reach these unreached communities. Concept of social business can be a right match to deliver healthcare services in a sustainable manner. Universal Healthcare Coverage (UHC), indicated in SDGs 3.8 can be effectively addressed by developing digital healthcare technologies (e.g. portable medical sensors, artificial intelligence to reduce medical cost), deploying new policy on remote healthcare systems and social business models to make the healthcare delivery process more sustainable. Remote Healthcare Systems (RHS) plays a major role to reduce the risk of spread of disease among the individuals, alleviating issues related to mental health and utilizing the time of healthcare professionals.
“The 4th International Conference on Healthcare SDGs & Social Business” will be held virtually this year from 8-12 March, 2021. The conference aims to share and discuss state-of-the-art healthcare technologies, deployment case studies, policy recommendations to achieve UHC in a sustainable way.

- Fundamentals to Remote Healthcare Systems
