Conference Watch
Clairvoyance 2010 at TISS to be Held in December
Clairvoyance, the signature annual event held at TISS,
has spread its wings this year to include the entire South Asian subcontinent
Just like other sectors, healthcare has undergone enormous changes in the last
one decade. It has witnessed the dawn of new concepts and the decline of old
theories. It faced the heat of numerous challenges and was blessed with innovations
from unlikely sources. These transitions shall pave the way for developments
of the coming decade.
The students of the School of Health System Studies at TISS feel that concurrent
developments during the past 10 years should be explored further in order to
fathom the trends of the future. They have thus proposed Clairvoyance 2010 to
be held on 11th and 12th December, 2010 as a platform for hosting a 'Dialogue
on a Decade of Health'. Clairvoyance, the signature annual event held at the
Convention Centre, TISS Campus, Mumbai has spread its wings this year to include
the entire South Asian subcontinent.
South Asia is a unique territory. The region is divided politically but the
demographic and epidemiological profiles of countries within are similar. Most
South Asian countries continue to perform poorly on most social indicators,
something that is reflected in their human development indices. With the exception
of Sri Lanka, these countries' health sectors have tended to evolve in line
with the broader dynamics of 'free' market forces again leading to similar achievements
and failures. Improving the state of health in the region requires a creative
and more far-reaching approach to how the health and well-being of the region's
people can be improved.
TISS always promotes dialogue across disciplines, regions and ideologies. The
discussions about dominant issues in healthcare of this region will provide
positive outcomes for all the stakeholders.
Various sub themes to be discussed are:
- Corporatization: From hospital to Hospital Inc.
- Quality in Hospitals: Accreditation and beyond.
- Competition Management in South Asian countries.
- Multinational Hospital Groups.
- Millennium Development Goals- Lessons learnt and road-map for
the future.
- Indigenous Healthcare Delivery Models: NRHM.
- Innovative Healthcare financing models in South Asia.
- Health Policy Research in South Asia: Feasibility
and sustainability.
- Disease burden of the big three – Malaria, Tuberculosis
and HIV across South Asian countries- Problem and Solutions.
- Health Inequity in South Asia: Role of Gender.
