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

#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.
