framework of a health care system in terms of its basic building
blocks.
These include “delivery of effective, safe, quality personal
and non-personal interventions
Indian healthcare sector, one of the fastest growing industry
Rising income levels, ageing population, growing health
awareness and changing attitude towards preventive
healthcare is expected to boost healthcare services
demand in future
There is substantial demand for high-quality and
speciality healthcare services in tier-II and tier-III cities
To encourage the private sector to establish hospitals in
these cities, government has relaxed the taxes on these
hospitals for the first 5 years.
Health insurance is gaining momentum in India
4. INTRODUCTION
The low cost of medical services has resulted in a rise in
the country’s medical tourism
India has emerged as a hub for R&D activities for
international players due to its relatively low cost of
clinical research
Conducive policies for encouraging FDI, tax benefits,
favorable government policies have helped the industry
attract private equity, venture capitals and foreign players
Strong mobile technology infrastructure and launch of 4G
is expected to drive mobile health initiatives in the
country
To standardise the quality of service delivery, control cost
and enhance patient engagement, healthcare providers
are focussing on the technological aspect of healthcare
delivery.
