Glaring Statistics on Indian Healthcare Scenario
India ranks 112th on the WHO ranking of the world’s
health systems.
Healthcare spending accounts for a mere 4% of India's
GDP, far below OECD's average of 9.5%
Doctor-to-patient ratio for rural India, as per the
Health Ministry statistics, stands at 1:30,000, well
below the WHO’s recommended 1:1,000.
Of the 1.35 mn hospital beds, only 48% are functional
Merely 20% of India’s 1.2 billion population is covered
by health insurance
• least developed among all zones
• hospital projects in Tier II towns getting funded by high interest borrowings from
banks making projects unviable and most recently through select PE/VC investments
• resistance from skilled staff to settle in this region
• high number of private nursing homes but very few multi specialty/ network of
hospitals
