Technology is helping Asian countries take quality healthcare to the remotest of areas. In India, where the government is rolling out a program to offer universal healthcare coverage, providers are leveraging digitalization to offer affordable medical care to the poorest members of society. Digitalization is also helping countries address the COVID-19 pandemic, while overcoming the shortfall of skilled resources in rural communities.
