It is explained by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a phenomenon of increasing interconnectedness and interdependence amongst countries which includes the opening of borders to facilitate flow of people, goods, finances, services and ideas across international borders and the changes in institutional and policy regimes at the international and national levels that facilitate or promote such flows. Alongside, globalization is another phenomenon that has marked a paradigm shift: the emergence of ‘knowledge’ as the most important and true power of this century. It may be difficult to keep pace with this knowledge explosion; however this is required! One therefore needs to look at the knowledge in different disciplines and consider applying these pearls of wisdom to improve the services offered by one’s discipline. In this dual context of globalization and knowledge explosion, healthcare has assumed centre stage as an area that is becoming increasingly global and knowledge oriented. A key feature of this dynamically growing healthcare sector is its expansion, to include into its fold, many other disciplines such as Management, Information Technology, Law, Communication, Geospatial Applications and International Relations etc. In consonance with these transformative forces in a globalized world, the Faculty of Health & Biomedical Sciences (FoHBS), Symbiosis International University (SIU) has organized SYMHEALTH 2017 an International Conference on Healthcare in a Globalizing World. The objective is to explore enriching healthcare delivery by application of knowledge from different disciplines and facilitate innovation and enterprise. It reflects our belief that healthcare is truly interdisciplinary and in order to facilitate available, affordable & accessible healthcare delivery, one needs to stay abreast with developments in other disciplines. SYMHEALTH 2017 is thus a step towards forging new dialogues with various stakeholders of the healthcare community beyond academia, both in India and Abroad, bringing in new insights and perspectives from other fields, offering a platform on which to foster intellectual fellowship amongst all stakeholders and most importantly, being the instrument of global advances in healthcare. The keynote lectures, track sessions, roundtable discussions, workshops, and research and poster paper presentations are all designed to present to you a comprehensive collage of information and ideas. I invite you to peruse the ensuing pages, which highlight in great detail all the information related to delivery of healthcare in a globalizing world.
