Clairvoyance '08 : A Recap

Clairvoyance is considered to be one of its kind event in India which brings healthcare professionals, industry leaders and emerging talent across the country over one platform. As the name suggests, the aim of clairvoyance has been to sketch out a clear vision for the emerging healthcare sector in India. Every year the events are designed around a specific theme which addresses the pertinent issues in the transitional healthcare system of India.

Last year Clairvoyance('08) was a huge success with the theme ‘Empowering healthcare through solutions and applications’. The event spanned over two consecutive days of the 12th and 13th of December 2008 and was held at the convention centre of the Naoroji campus of the Tata Institute of Social Sciences Mumbai.
