Mumbai, July 11 (IANS). Gautam Adani, president of Adani Group, said on Friday that lower back pain is a national crisis, which can affect the productivity of the country. He urged entrepreneurs to create India’s first AI-draft spinal diagnostic platform.
Addressing the 5th annual conference of the Society for Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery-Asia Pacific (SMISS-AP) in Mumbai, the chairman of the Adani Group expressed surprise on the lower back pain, which is becoming a major cause of disability in the country and explained how it can destroy the dreams of the nation.
Gautam Adani told the attendees, “I am surprised to know that lower back pain has now become a major cause of disability in India. India is struggling with spinal epidemic, a silent crisis that is more wider than the global average. About 2 out of 2 adult Indians experience the lower back pain every year.”
He added, “This is not just a health problem. It is a national crisis that is measured not only by pain but also measured with decrease in productivity, rising costs of healthcare and also broken dreams.”
Billionaire industrialist Adani asked to consider developing ‘imageial imagination’ ie enterprises to fix the spinal cord. He called upon entrepreneurs to develop AI-based and low-cost treatment, which could meet the needs of the country.
The chairman of the Adani Group said, “I urge you to create an India’s first AI-draft spinal diagnostic platform, detecting the deformity long before the disability.”
Gautam Adani further said, “The spine you save today can be of the engineer who will design the future bridges, it can be of the farmer who gives us food, it can be of the scientist who will invent our next vaccine, or that of the entrepreneur that will form our next billion dollar company.”
The industrialist urged entrepreneurs to make new imagination of rural surgery and create low -cost high -impact mobile operating theater, which raise a ray of hope in the villages.
In addition, the chairman of the Adani Group called for the introduction of a spinal hospital that could become a global center of robotic surgery and next generation bio-ingred implants.
Gautam Adani also promised to support his company to maintain the pace of healthcare in the country.
He said, “Adani Group is ready to walk with you and we have started our journey. Three years ago, on my 60th birthday, my family pledged to give Rs 60,000 crore for healthcare, education and skill development.”
Gautam Adani said that Adani Group would create a system that develops with science, respond to the changing needs and use AI’s full power without ignoring the role of human in the center.
“This approach would be a broad, multi-disciplinary model that will break the traditional boundaries and help to conduct clinic care, educational training and research simultaneously,” he said.
Gautam Adani further said, “We are investing in modular, scalable infrastructure, which can expand rapidly in epidemic or emergency.
The chairman of the Adani Group also focused on the importance of promoting doctors with skills in robotics, AI, system thinking and healthcare management and include sympathy, morality and entrepreneurship beyond physiology in their education.
He said, “We are here to create India’s healthcare and a system for the future, which are integrated, intelligent, inclusive and motivated.
He insisted, “They have been designed as world class, affordable, AI-Fund Healthcare Ecosystem and we are proud to get guidance on design, implementation and global standards in medical infrastructure and research by Mayo Clinic.”
