Facilitating Market Entry for Technologies in Rural Health
– An ICTPH Strategy Paper

Neil Parikh, ARIJIT SARKAR

Methodology

The following report represents information gathered from primary and secondary research. External primary sources include national and international manufacturers, distributors, importers, entrepreneurs, global health organizations, technology developers, non-governmental organizations, and government officials. Internal primary sources ranged the ecosystem including employees from ICTPH, IKP, and the NEF. A comprehensive list of sources can be found in the appendix. Per request for anonymity, primary sources are not always identified but referred to as part of broader categories. Throughout the report, point of care diagnostics (PCDs) are used as the example of “technology”, as that is where significant research has taken place thus far. It should be noted that much of this proposal can extend beyond PCDs and is applicable to a wide range of interventions.
