Dr Sahil Lal
In a recent interview, we had the privilege to sit down with Dr Sahil, Director of Metro Hospitals, to discuss his pioneering efforts in healthcare diplomacy, particularly in light of the recent India-Cambodia Joint Business Council (JBC) meeting.
Dr Sahil Lal, thank you for taking the time to speak with us. Can you share with our readers your role in the India-Cambodia JBC meeting and what drove you to explore international expansion opportunities for Metro Hospitals?
Dr Sahil: It's my pleasure to be here. As the Director of Metro Hospitals, I saw an opportunity to extend our commitment to providing quality healthcare beyond the borders of India. The JBC meeting served as a platform to discuss potential collaborations with Cambodia, with the aim of improving healthcare access and fostering mutual growth.
Your dedication to improving healthcare in Cambodia is admirable. Can you elaborate on the specific initiatives you proposed during the meeting?
Dr Sahil: Absolutely. I emphasized the importance of leveraging Metro Hospitals' expertise to address healthcare challenges in Cambodia. This includes initiatives such as capacity-building programs, medical training for local professionals, and the establishment of healthcare facilities tailored to the needs of the Cambodian population.
You also highlighted the potential of medical tourism to strengthen economic ties between India and Cambodia. How do you see this unfolding in the coming years?
Dr Sahil: Medical tourism presents a significant opportunity for both countries to boost their economies while also providing high-quality healthcare services to patients. By offering specialized treatments and state-of-the-art facilities, we can attract patients from Cambodia and other countries, thereby contributing to economic growth and job creation.
Your vision for the future of healthcare diplomacy is inspiring. How do you plan to continue driving initiatives in this field?
Dr Sahil: Thank you. Moving forward, I am committed to fostering partnerships and collaborations that promote health equity and improve access to healthcare globally. This includes advocating for policies that prioritize health, sharing best practices, and continuing to explore opportunities for international expansion with Metro Hospitals.
