Innovative and sustainable healthcare management: Strategies for growth
- Share to:
healthcare scenario remains a paradox. On one hand, world class hospitals, state-of-the-art technologies, highly qualified doctors and health care professionals are attracting patients from all over the world while on the other hand the average Indian patient faces high prices, inadequate access, and inconsistent quality - • India, with 0.6 physicians and 0.9 beds per 1000 people4, is among the lowest ranked countries in the world when it comes to health infrastructure • Only 25%5 of the population is covered by private or public insurance and 71%6 of all health care expenses continue to be out of pocket, one of the highest in the country. Given the low per capita incomes, many Indians in both rural and urban India leave their healthcare needs unattended7.
The private sector accounts for more than 77%8 healthcare spending and 74% 9 of the country’s hospital beds. It clearly dominates Indian healthcare delivery, especially in tertiary care. However the growth of private hospitals has also been inequitable, with more than a third of all hospitals present in the metros and Tier I cities10 . A large part of the population relies entirely on the public sector for their healthcare needs which remains inadequate for the rapidly increasing needs.
