(New Delhi) Press reports from India following a meeting between President Bush and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh suggest the US is considering outsourcing some HIV/AIDS care to that country.
The reports cite a joint statement issued following the meeting on trade, security and HIV/AIDS that said health tourism from the US to India was an area with "enormous potential for collaboration".
Given India's "world-class medical care facilities at reasonable costs, the two countries could leverage Indian expertise for their economic and social benefit" the Times of India quotes the joint statement as saying.
The two countries agreed to harmonize their healthcare systems and develop specialized medical insurance and legal packages for US patients to boost health tourism.
The document also said that Bush agree to accelerate the accreditation of Indian healthcare institutions and professionals in the US.
The statement said that the US supported India's plan to raise the capability of its drug-approving agency to those comparable with the FDA. The introduction of globally accepted FDA testing standards will lead to "greater confidence and marketability of Indian drugs and foods," the statement said.
During his meeting with Singh Bush announced a contribution of $7 million for the India-US Corporate Fund for HIV/AIDS. The India-US joint program on HIV/AIDS began in 2000.
