SWEDISH HEALTHCARE DELEGATION TRIP TO INDIA 2013
MESSAGE FROM THE EMBASSY OF SWEDEN - NEW DELHI
H.E. Mr. Harald Sandberg| Ambassador Photo: Pawel Flato
It is a great pleasure to welcome this Health Delegation,
representing both the Government of Sweden and industry, to
India October 07-10, 2013.
Sweden and India share a long and successful history of
cooperation. We have exchanged ideas, knowledge and
technology within many sectors and developed strong business
relations. Technology development and innovation is the key in
the India-Swedish partnership. India is a vibrant democracy
with a high potential of economic growth in the long run. It is
an important country for Swedish business. Health is an area
where Sweden and India have growing interest and intention to
strengthen bilateral ties and form strategic alliances. The
Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in the field of
health care and public health, signed between the India and the
Sweden in February 2009, will soon complete the first five
years.
Healthcare is one of India's largest service industries and the
opportunities are equally compelling, from developing new
infrastructure and providing medical devices and equipment to
delivering telemedicine solutions and conducting cost-effective
clinical trials. Despite a huge public health infrastructure, there
is an enormous growth of the private health care market.
India's private hospitals provide high-end specialized healthcare
and have emerged as a destination for medical tourism.
I hope you have fruitful interaction with the public and private
sector representatives during your stay. On behalf of 'Team
Sweden' in India, we are happy to extend all our support.
Yours sincerely,
Harald Sandberg
Ambassador
SWEDISH HEALTHCARE DELEGATION TRIP TO INDIA 2013
MESSAGE FROM THE CONSULATE GENERAL - MUMBAI
I would like to welcome all the delegates of this health care
delegation to Mumbai – the city that never sleeps.
Maharashtra is one of the richest states in India, and it scores well
above average in terms of health care services. The national
government has committed itself to spend more resources on health
care, but one shouldn’t forget that a large portion of the funding for
public health care services stems from the states. It is actually the
state government that has the primary responsibilities for
administrating and funding health care services, and they pay for
nearly two thirds of total public health care costs. Maharashtra has
130 government hospitals, and we will visit two of them, and 8
primary health centers.
Sweden and India might differ when it comes to the structures of the
health care sector, but we are struggling with the same problems
regarding life-style related diseases, antibiotic resistance and infection
control.
I hope this visit will lead to a fruitful interaction between the
delegation and our Indian partners, where our common problems
can be discussed and where Sweden could contribute with our
technical and medical solutions to some of our common problems.
Enjoy the visit!
Fredrika Ornbrant

GRIPPINGHEART AB
GrippingHeart is a Swedish company that was founded in 2003 to
develop medical technology solutions for analyzing function in the
heart and circulatory system.
GrippingHeart founders Stig Lundbäck, MD PhD, and Jonas
Johnson, MSc, spent most of their careers studying the pumping
principles of the human heart, and used their scientific findings to
outline an innovative model for how the heart pumps and auto-
regulates the flow of blood throughout our bodies.
They showed that the heart’s pumping and auto-regulation of
blood, from a mechanical aspect, is working according to a
previously unknown pump technology, The Dynamic Adaptive
Piston Pump Technology (DAPP-technology). The DAPP-technology
can on the basis of fluid- and pump mechanical principles explain
how the heart behaves for circulating and regulating the blood
flow with such paradoxical high efficiency and precision in our
complex circulatory system.
The discovery of the DAPP-technology by Lundbäck as early as
1984 and the continuous development of the concept have made
it possible to model and analyze the heart in new ways by using
DAPP as a reference frame for the heart’s pump and regulating
mechanics which has been used to develop GrippingHeart’s unique
technology for quantifying cardiac mechanics.
