Geetha, during the Global Investors Summit in Indore. Under the terms of the MoU, the State Health Authorities will help assure required infrastructure facilities, incentives, concessions, and all necessary clearances under the State”s ”single window system” for the launch of a State-Wide Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Program.

“The Government of Madhya Pradesh has created an excellent environment and opportunity for international firms like Diagnos to enter the State and to establish operations.  This MoU assures us that the Government will promote and support our efforts to offer DR screening services to the estimated 5 million people with diabetes in the state. With the support of local authorities, we plan to begin to implement mobile screening units to start to cover some of the 1,100 primary health centers and 8,800 sub-centers. We have already begun putting into place the necessary agreements with local healthcare providers to treat patients with positive screening results. If the pledged government support materializes under this MoU, and agreements with local healthcare providers proceed as planned, our present objective is to screen between 100,000 and 200,000 diabetic patients in the State in 2013, and expand from there.” Peter Nowacki, Diagnos Vice-President – Healthcare.
