Healthcare in India has evolved significantly in its character since 2000. There have been many changes including, private healthcare evolving to play a significant role in healthcare delivery, government changing its role from not only a provider of healthcare services but also a financier through many government sponsored health insurance schemes which in different ways and extent cover almost 25% of India’s population, government running missions to eradicate polio and address health issues of national importance and also investing heavily in significantly improving public healthcare infrastructure especially in rural areas. Added to it, the sector has seen significant investment interest from private equity, public offerings and entrepreneurs.
At the same time, the operating context has changed significantly with emerging need of making healthcare affordable, technology enabling healthcare which was not possible earlier, rising consumerism in healthcare and disease profile changing towards chronic. These require a relook at the way the healthcare is to be delivered in the coming years so that we are able to maximize the opportunity which evolving times and context have provided.
