47. The ‘Care & Share’, Sponsor A Medical Professional Program, provides a global platform for
corporates, philanthropists, service organizations, non-governmental organizations and agencies
of the State to contribute their might in resolving the dearth of medical professionals all over the
world. It is an opportunity to develop a global partnership for health development. By helping
emergence of a medical professional, you are in turn saving thousands of lives in the decades to
come. The idea is to promote universal health care through intervention into the education
system by sponsoring a student and having studies sponsored by various corporates and others,
into different aspects of health care across geographies and sectors through the beneficiary
students. The main objective of the model is to identify the health workforce bottlenecks and
resolve them to deliver essential and quality health services. This model will ensure that there is
a continuous supply of experienced and quality medical professionals across societies.
