Health sector is one of the sunrise sectors in India, expected to reach $372 billion by 2022 from an estimated $160 billion in 2017. The private sector contributes to ~70% of India's total health expenditure. The sector's growth can be attributed to factors such as improved services, increased coverage, private investments, and FDI. And lately, the government has ramped up activities to improve the sector.
Innovation is the key for the future of Indian Healthcare, where all aspects of access to healthcare, diagnostics and life-sciences are moving from ‘bigger and better’ to ‘low-cost and high-tech’ model.
