Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], February 24 (ANI/NewsVoir): India's leading integrated healthcare financing platform ImpactGuru.com is organizing its first-ever 'Impact Guru Excellence in Healthcare Summit & Awards' on 28th February 2022, which also marks National Rare Disease Day 2022.

In India, patients' access to quality healthcare and financing of their expensive treatments has been a cause of concern. Over 500 million middle class Indians lack any kind of health insurance coverage. Due to a lack of financial resources many patients are forced to either postpone treatments or look for a cheaper alternative or borrow money at high-interest rates or sell their property or jewellery whilst struggling to afford the quality healthcare they require to recover.
