About IMSA

International Medical Sciences Academy (IMSA) was established as a global organization in 1981 with a vision of bettering universal health. It is registered as a professional body under The Societies Registration Act XXI (1861) of India and is governed by a board of Trustees. Its headquarters is located at New Delhi, India. The Academy has traversed a long way in the perpetuation of its pristine objectives after its launching nearly three decades ago. Today it is one of the prestigious organizations in Biomedical Sciences sustaining both academic and social relevance.

To meet out the vision of better universal health, IMSA has tripartite approach. The three cardinal components of its mission are biomedical research, medical education and health care delivery. It aims to originate, develop, establish and propagate highest levels of standards in health care sans geographic borders through Biomedical Research, Medical Education and Health Care Delivery.

IMSA, a multidisciplinary global academy, established in 1981 in India aims at blurring the boundaries between the medical specialties that we study and encourages an amalgamation into an inter-professional approach towards continuing medical education of professionals through seminars, scientific sessions and conferences.

Dear Fraternity Members, We welcome you!

Theme: Affordable Healthcare: Challenges and Future Prospects

It’s expected that health care’s evolution will have far-reaching impacts as new business models emerge that blur boundaries and drive cross-sector and cross-industry convergence. The resulting “super clusters” of public-private providers, payers, and market disruptors could then use a smart health community approach to collectively drive innovation, increase access and affordability, improve quality, and lower costs through more efficient delivery models.

Aging and growing populations, greater prevalence of chronic diseases, exponential advances in innovative, but costly, digital technologies—these and other developments continue to increase health care demand and expenditures.

Global health care spending is projected to increase at an annual rate of 5.4% in 2018–2022, a considerable rise from 2013–2017. This increase reflects the expansion of health care coverage in developing markets, the growing care needs of elderly populations, advances in treatments and health technologies, and rising health care labor costs.

Per-person health care spending is expected to continue to vary widely; efforts to close the gap will be constrained by higher population growth in developing economies.

Higher per-person spending does not always equate to higher-quality health care.

Join us for an innovative session of Affordable Healthcare: Challenges and Future Prospects

We are thankful to our fraternity, our prized possession, who has given us the due impetus to take forward matters of academic interest and priority.
