Speaking about the Mela Padma Shri Awardee Dr KK Aggarwal, President HCFI & National President IMA said, “The theme for this year’s Perfect Health Mela is in alignment with PM Modi’s idea of a digital India. It will lay emphasis on ‘digital health’ which is an umbrella term covering the convergence of digital and genomic revolutions. Digital health encompasses using technology to empower people in tracking, managing, and improving their own health and that of their near and dear ones. This will in turn help them live better and more productive lives, and bring about improvements in the societal health at large.”
