FICCI, in partnership with SHARE-VHS, USAID and NACO, recently organised ‘HIV/ AIDS Health Conclave’ under the South to South HIV/AIDS Resource Exchange Project, ‘Partnerships beyond Borders’ in New Delhi. This pivot conclave set the stage for productive deliberations with the industry and government stakeholders from India and the focus African countries, namely Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia.
Speaking at the conclave, Meenakshi Datta Ghosh, Senior Consultant, Independent Evaluation, Government of India, commended the private sector for its initiative in the prevention and treatment of AIDS in India and emphasised that the African community could follow India’s lead and successfully curb the spread of the disease.
On the occasion, a knowledge paper, ‘Partnership beyond Borders – Catalysing Solution’ was released. FICCI, in collaboration with Feedback Consulting, has attempted to understand the market potential and assessment of the focus African countries through the report.
The report also emphasises that the market potential of products and services in the area of HIV in the three countries (South Africa, Nigeria and Tanzania) would be over $50 billion in the next 10 years.
