…the bottomline first
While science of medicine will keep
evolving, where we are failing is in
the management of the health care
system
…prevention is better than cure
How big is the problem errrr…the opportunity?
• Fitch - double its size over 4 years ~ US$ 100 bln by 2015
• Frost & Sullivan ~ US$ 160 bln by 2017
• India will need ~ 1.75 million additional beds by 2025
• 189 mln to be > 60 years of age by 2025  higher
healthcare spends
• Investment need >500,000 crores to achieve 1 doctor, 2
beds & 2.3 nurses per 1000 people by 2025
• GoI increasing health expenditure to 2.5 % (1.4%) by 2017
• Technology/Telecom revolution  explosion of Healthcare
Information Technology Market in India.

• GoI (through PPPs) - public hospitals also need to be

Multi dimensional focus…again closer to art
• Draws from disciplines as wide as behavioral sciences, applied social
sciences, biomedical sciences, and social policy
• Health Care domain coverage:
