Our story of how the National Cancer Grid @CancerGridIndia drastically reduced costs of cancer care in India. A model that can (and should) be replicated in other disease areas and geographies. Economies of scale, assured quality, reduced stockouts (1/2) bbc.com/news/business-676787…

Fantastic results - significant lessons: The National Cancer Grid, a network of more than 250 cancer centres in India piloted pooled procurement...The savings ranged from 23% to 99% more with generics than newly patented meds => reveals advantages of pooled procurement for high-value meds and can be applied to other health systems. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… @cspramesh

Hey @SpringerNature, appreciate the #APCdiscounts for lower-middle-income countries. But why base it on total GDP < $200bn and not *per-capita* GDP? Now Algeria ($4,274 pc) gets 50% off but not Nigeria ($2,184) or Pakistan ($1,597). springernature.com/gp/open-r…

#WFH saves 72 minutes a day on average, and 90 minutes in China, India, Japan and Singapore. This is a win-win: Employers gain 30 minutes (40%) more work a day, boosting productivity. Employees gain 42 minutes for leisure, caregiving and housework. nber.org/papers/w30866
