#SECTOR #POTENTIAL #HOSPITALS
โข Indian healthcare industry โ The industry is growing at a significant pace, owing to its strengthening coverage, services and increasing expenditure by the public and private sectors. Going forward, the industry is anticipated to grow, mainly driven by the increased government expenditure and initiatives to boost the healthcare sector, followed by better case mix, higher ARPOBs and bed additions. The sector is also witnessing significant private equity activity, with investments directed towards both multispecialty and single-specialty hospitals and clinics. โข Government Initiatives โ Various initiatives have been undertaken which seeks to comprehensively strengthen the healthcare system, right from primary to tertiary care, thereby providing healthcare assurance and increase the coverage of healthcare services. โข Health โข Urban/Rural โข Medical Insurance industry - The overall sector in India has undergone significant changes driven by regulatory reforms, technological advancements and increased public awareness. This further propels the demand for healthcare services as insurance policies partly cover health expenses, eventually reducing the healthcare cost burden and encouraging an individual to undergo treatment. shift - Existing hospital beds and hospitalization services have a high level of concentration in urban areas, which in turn impacts the accessibility and affordability of these services in rural areas. While in the public sector, ~61% of beds are present in urban areas, the proportion jumps to 80% in case of the private sector. On an aggregate level, 72% of total beds are in urban areas while only 28% are in rural areas. Expenditure - While the all-India average medical expenditure per hospitalization case in public hospitals is low, the same for private hospitals is high. Despite higher costs, mostly people depend on private hospitals for treatment as these largely meet service quality needs and demands.
