History
Born in national interest in response to 2020's COVID19 pandemic, Swasth is an alliance of over 150 healthcare organisations.
Empowered by wide partnerships in the public, private, non-profit and academic sectors, Swasth has been instrumental in providing relief on a national scale during the crisis. Current efforts are focussed on building a Digitised Health Benefits Ecosystem as a first step to Universal Health Coverage.
This work holds the beginnings of an immensely impactful and interoperable health benefits network covering the continuum of care
