New Delhi, February 10 IHH Healthcare launched an initiative with its subsidiary, Fortis Healthcare, on Tuesday to accelerate the deployment of patient-centric, technology-enabled solutions across India's hospital ecosystem.
The initiative is part of IHH's broader innovation strategy and was first introduced in October last year as the IHH Global Incubator.
Now formalized and launched as 'IHH Catalyst' in partnership with Fortis, the program aims to bridge a critical gap in India's healthcare innovation journey, moving promising health-tech and med-tech startups beyond pilot and proof-of-concept stages into real-world clinical validation, hospital adoption, and scalable implementation, IHH Healthcare said in a statement.
"By anchoring this initiative in India with Fortis, our primary healthcare platform in the country, we aim to support innovations that strengthen patient outcomes, empower clinicians, and contribute meaningfully to the future of healthcare delivery in India and across the Asia Pacific region," said IHH Healthcare Group Chief Corporate Officer Ashok Pandit.
The initiative targets early-growth to enterprise-ready startups, with solutions ready for pilot, proof-of-concept, and deployment within hospital systems.
"At Fortis, we see this as an opportunity to enable scalable, technology-led solutions that improve the quality of care, operational efficiency, and access, while positioning India as a global center for healthcare innovation," said Fortis Healthcare MD and CEO Ashutosh Raghuvanshi.
