New Delhi, Jan 8 (IANS) In a bid to support Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision of a healthy India, a NRI doctors association Thursday launched an initiative to improve the health infrastructure in India.
The association named American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) will collaborate with the Indian healthcare agencies also to raise awareness on head injury, trauma and hepatitis.
The announcement came after the Pravasi Bharatiya Divas, the annual conference of NRIs organized by the Indian government, kicked off at Gandhinagar.
