Aiming to make a positive and meaningful impact on the healthcare delivery systems in the US and India, AAPI will host the 2022 edition of its annual Global Healthcare Summit (GHS) 2022 from Jan. 5 to 7 in Hyderabad.

This international health care summit is a progressive transformation from the first Indo-US Healthcare Summit launched by the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin in 2007.

Since then, AAPI has organized 14 Indo-US/Global Healthcare Summits and developed strategic alliances with various organizations, the largest ethnic organization of physicians in the US with a membership of over 100,000 physicians of Indian origin, said in press release.
