Dr Ashutosh Raghuvanshi, Managing Director and CEO of Fortis Healthcare, recently appeared on NDTV India’s special segment on India Health Mission. The programme brought together healthcare leaders to share insights on the nation’s evolving health priorities, with Dr Raghuvanshi’s contribution underscoring Fortis’ continued role in shaping the future of healthcare.

A key focus of the discussion was the Blueprint for Health Vision 2047, a strategic roadmap aligned with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of Viksit Bharat 2047 – India’s aspiration to become a developed nation by the 100^th anniversary of its independence. The blueprint centres on inclusive growth, economic development and youth empowerment, with health as a critical pillar of progress.

In a wide-ranging and thoughtful conversation, Dr Raghuvanshi highlighted the importance of strengthening preventive care, improving access and delivering better health outcomes across both urban and rural populations. He emphasised the need for systemic change, driven by progressive policy, innovation and a people-centred approach.

During the broadcast, Dr Raghuvanshi also launched The Preventive Edge – Dialogues on Preventive Care, a collaboration with NDTV. The initiative aims to spark meaningful dialogue and community engagement around proactive health measures such as early diagnosis, regular screenings and addressing lifestyle-related conditions. Through expert insights and thought leadership, it will promote a culture of prevention that is essential for a healthier future.

As India looks ahead to 2047, Fortis Healthcare remains committed to advancing this national vision through quality care, strategic partnerships and a steadfast belief in health equity for all.
