Foreword
In a populous nation like ours, with an ever increasing need for healthcare infrastructure and
services, the private sector has remained the lynchpin of growth, accounting for more than half of
the total healthcare spending in the country.
The healthcare delivery sector is characterised by wide regional disparities with rural India being
highly underserved. Further, the Southern region has been a change catalyst and far ahead of its
Northern counterpart in terms of access, technology, infrastructure and sometimes even, in the
quality of service.
Against a backdrop of changing demographics and socio economic mix in the Indian population, it
is imperative to raise the bar on quality of healthcare service delivery and ensure equitable and
affordable access across social strata. Achieving this requires several factors to come together, not
least the optimal utilization of existing healthcare resources and the role the government needs to
play in the holistic development of a regional healthcare system.
In this paper, we attempt to bring out the current state of affairs in the healthcare delivery space in
the northern region of India, recent trends in the sector and challenges in executing an effective
healthcare agenda, with recommendations and actions for transforming healthcare in North India.

Glaring statistics
our country ranks 112th on the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) ranking of the
world’s health systems.
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.
Overall healthcare spending (public and private) accounts for a mere 4% of India's
GDP, far below the average of 9.5% across Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development (OECD) countries. Private sector accounts for more than 70% of
this spend, while the public sector spend has been only 1.4%.
in terms of the total health expenditure per capita (in US$), India spends the least
on public healthcare among the BRICS nations.
for FY14, the Union Budget has allocated larger funds for the health sector, Rs
37,330 crore from the revised estimates of Rs 24,894 crore for FY13
merely 20% of India’s 1.2 billion population is covered by health insurance
of the 1.35 million hospital beds in the country, only 48% are functional
the private sector accounts for 65% of the total number of operational beds, and
over 70% of the spending on healthcare in India.
lack of healthcare facilities in the rural areas as well as among those at the
bottom of the pyramid is one of the big challenges in delivering scalable
healthcare options

While the healthcare delivery sector in North
has been making progress with a number of
hospitals and healthcare centres gaining
accreditations from National Accreditation
Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers
(NABH), the region still lags behind many parts
of the country on several healthcare parameters.
The number of hospitals and inpatient beds
available relative to the total population of the
region is far lower than the national average.
The states (Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh,
Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Rajasthan,
Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh) continue to
battle high rates of infant mortality and
incidence of deaths due to dengue, cholera,
diarrhea and other ailments.
The lack of requisite infrastructure in the
semi-rural and rural areas of northern India is
one of the key barriers to the delivery of basic
healthcare services in the region.
Market size and segmentation
The healthcare sector is the third largest
contributor to the Indian economy in terms of
revenue and employment generation potential.
The Indian healthcare sector encompasses
hospitals, pharmaceuticals, medical equipment
and supplies, medical insurance and
diagnostics. Among the primary subsectors of
the healthcare sector, hospitals and
pharmaceuticals account for the largest
revenue, contributing as much as 71% and
13% of the total revenue, respectively. The
hospital services market, which forms one of
the largest segments of the Indian healthcare
sector, is expected to reach US$81.2 billion by
2015.
Leveraging improved technology and
infrastructure of medical institutions,
northern India is witnessing a steady rise
in medical tourism. A number of cities
including Delhi / NCR, Chandigarh,
Amritsar, Mohali and the surrounding
areas have been attracting patients from
overseas.

What drives growth?
With the rising middle class population, the
average real household disposable income is
likely to double from 2005 to 2025 leading to
an increased expenditure on healthcare. It is
estimated that, by the end of 2025, the country
will require an additional 1.8 million new beds
to fulfil the targeted 2 beds per thousand
people. The demand for quality healthcare
services outstrips the supply from the public
healthcare system which becomes an
opportunity to be a key growth driver for the
private healthcare sector. The rise of health
conscious consumers who can afford quality
healthcare is expected to also fuel the demand
for specialised healthcare services/delivery.
This trend is already underway in Tier I cities,
including those in northern India, which has
begun to witness the proliferation of specialty
hospitals and healthcare centres.

In a nutshell
• the key challenges faced by the
healthcare delivery sector currently
include the following:
- access to affordable real estate
- ability to leverage technology
- ability to leverage existing
infrastructure (nursing homes/
clinics/ excess capacity in hospitals)
- limited success under the PPP
route
- the skill gap, shortage of doctors
and trained staff
• deployment of technology, mobile
linkages to rural areas and efficient
utilisation of existing infrastructure
holds the promise to bridge the gap
between healthcare need and supply in
several parts of the North

Recent policy initiatives
To increase access and utilisation of quality
health services by the rural population, the
Central Government launched the National
Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in April 2005.
NRHM has helped upgrade health
infrastructure, improve manpower availability
and skills of healthcare service providers and
improve accessibility of drugs and diagnostics
and service delivery in the rural areas. The
Centre is also planning to launch the National
Urban Health Mission (NUHM), which will
focus on slums and urban poor. NUHM will
cover all cities and towns with a population of
more than 50,000. The scheme will cover
over 779 Indian cities and towns, as well as
several Tier I cities.
As a part of NRHM, Government of India's
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
(MoHFW) has instituted Accredited Social
Health Activists (ASHAs). The initiative
entails the provision of a trained female
community health activist in every village in
the country. The female community health
activist is a representative of the village and
works as an interface between the community
and the public health system.
To-do’s
• efficiently utilise current infrastructure, before allowing for more
• link ASHA‟s to the nearest facilities, provide infrastructure and financial support
• mobile healthcare units to form the link between the interiors and the nearest facility
• rural public infrastructure must remain at the forefront of healthcare policies
• preferential land allotment/ subsidies where there is infrastructure gap
• cutting down the risk of deaths in maternal and perinatal conditions
• increase public health spending
• streamline drug purchase stocking distribution arrangements
• low-cost day care surgery models at government hospitals
• continued focus on development of medical colleges and institutions

North
• inadequate infrastructure and facilities as compared to South
• metro cities still preferred as medical tourism destination
• more hospitals opening up. At least 80 hospitals in Uttar Pradesh have recently applied for
NABH accreditation
East
• least developed among all zones
• inadequate and low-end infrastructure and facilities
• hospital projects in Tier II towns getting funded by borrowings from banks which carry
significant amount of interest. This makes projects unviable and attracts less investments
• resistance from skilled staff to settle in this region
• high number of private nursing homes but very few multi-specialty hospitals
South
• Chennai is also known as the Mecca of healthcare delivery
• top seven out of the ten PE healthcare deals were in South India in 2012
• higher concentration of super specialties and average bed size greater than other zones
• better infrastructure
• hospitals such as Vaatsalya Healthcare, Apollo and Global are entering rural markets and
establishing secondary care hospitals in view of lower investments and higher profitability
West
• good multispecialty hospitals are concentrated in Maharashtra and Gujarat
• wide rural-urban gap in health infrastructure facilities both in terms of quality and quantity
• district-wise variances (Mumbai and Pune have better population to facility ratios)

Although healthcare choices, healthcare spend, patient profile, disease prevalence vary
across states, it is evident that there exist significant inequities in healthcare access within
the states of the northern region.
Densely populated areas such as Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan are ranked poorly as the
average population served per government hospital bed is significantly higher as
compared to other northern cities such as Delhi and Punjab which have better access
healthcare quality and infrastructure.
States such as Karnataka, Kerala and West Bengal perform far better in public
infrastructure as compared to their Northern counterparts such as Uttar Pradesh and
Bihar.
The Jammu and Kashmir Government is planning an investment outlay to the tune of
Rs 140 million to establish two hospitals in Kulgam and Anantnag districts.
UP Health Systems Strengthening Project has been launched by the State Government
with World Bank funding worth Rs 800 crore.

Deal Street
The healthcare delivery market is very interesting and active from a transaction point of view. In
multi-specialty hospitals, we are seeing consolidation, which is driving increasing corporatisation of
that market. This is enabled by a few players with access to significant amounts of capital and with
ambitions/ plans to expand rapidly without going through the typical 3 year + maturity period for
greenfield projects.
Fortis has been an active player, having made several acquisitions in India and Overseas (and
interestingly, some divestments as well already).
Chains of single specialty hospitals and diagnostics businesses are to continue attracting significant
interest from PE funds as well as strategic players, given their attractive unit economics and capital
efficiency metrics. Eye care, dental care, maternity, paediatrics, orthopaedic surgery, pathology,
low-end imaging, etc. are areas we expect to see significant transaction activity in 2013, and
beyond.

The technology impediment
Lack of data of outcome is key cons Technology progression is set to change the face of
healthcare delivery in the country, by controlling costs, standardising quality of service delivery,
and improving the experience of care for patients and families. IT enables the development of
new models of care delivery and payment reform by bringing in better billing transparency and
building capacity in line with the demand. Spending on Information Technology (IT) products and
services by the healthcare providers in India will increase by 7% between 2012 and 2013, from
US$53 billion to US$57 billion. (Source: Gartner).
Technology in
healthcare

Knowledge
Resources
Archived medical and scientific information, these are
mainly set up in hospitals, healthcare centres,
medical colleges, healthcare sector firms, research
institutes, etc.
• relatively lower storage space requirement
• low cost of maintenance over the traditional medical
libraries
E-learning platforms This non-traditional collection of tutorials and
information in the form of text, images, audio or video
is currently being deployed to provide frequent
training programmes to doctors, basic training and
various intricacies of in-patient care to nurses,
training to medical personnel in the use of new
diagnostic and surgical equipment, etc.

patient medical records cannot be sent electronically
to any other sources such as laboratories, practices
or specialists outside the home provider practice.
• facilitates bidirectional electronic sharing of patient
data between external laboratories, external provider
and the home provider practice
Hospital Information
System (HIS)
HIS is an electronic platform, encompassing various
modules associated with the innumerable
departments and functions in a hospital, which is
used to seamlessly manage the whole process of

Tele-docs and Tele-medicine
A novel idea implemented by
Haryana Jiva International, a
healthcare venture on the outskirts
of Delhi. It deploys a GPRS enabled
Java application to enhance the
reach of medical care to rural parts
of the region. The project, known as
the “Teledoc” project, has won
widespread acclaim globally,
including the World Summit Award
for eHealth.
Grameen Foundation has rolled
out an m-health service for AIDS
patients in India. The application
is used to send healthy living
tips, messages and reminders
regarding consultations and
medications to AIDS patients.
In a recent report for the 12th Five Year Plan, the steering committee on health has
recommended connecting all the district hospitals to tertiary care centres by telemedicine
using applications such as “Skype” which facilitate audio-visual interactions. The committee
also advocates adoption of mobile health solutions to enhance real-time collaboration
between patients and providers and between providers, improvement in the rate of
transmission of data and information between the various stakeholders and promotion for
the adoption of preventive healthcare across the various Indian states.

Non Conventional Delivery Models
In addition to Narayana Hrudayalaya, which plans to establish low cost hospitals in Mysore,
Siliguri and Bhubaneshwar in the near future, the Apollo Hospitals group has also adopted this
model to set up 250 low cost „Apollo Reach Hospitals‟ hospitals in Tier II and III cities.
Model Brief description
Low cost, no-frills
hospitals
Enable cutting back the extraneous costs associated with healthcare and diagnostics for the middle and
lower-middle classes
Specialist hospitals
focus on a single target patient group or discipline
comparatively lesser capital expenditure and operating costs than multi-specialty hospitals
specialised training ensures higher success rates and efficiency
Day care surgery
these centres focus mainly on minimally invasive surgical procedures
after recovering from a surgery, a patient is fit to be discharged within 24 hours
low cost of surgery owing to lower capital cost and reduced time required to break-even
higher incentives for doctors and healthcare professionals
use of modern anaesthesia and painkillers enables the patient to recover consciousness quickly after
surgery and recuperate at home
Ambulatory Surgery overnight stay in the hospital is not required by the patient
a patient recovers from surgery and is deemed fit to be discharged within a couple of hours of surgery
Primary care networks integrates primary care, diagnostic, pharmacy and wellness services to coordinate management of access
to appropriate primary healthcare
assists in broadening the market reach
Senior Living Centres/
Hospitals
given that the senior living sector in the country comprises of nearly 100 million people, most of whom are
independent and financially stable, it is a largely untapped sector
as per Association Senior Living India (ASLI), by 2025, the senior living sector will grow to nearly 173
million
in such centres, elderly people are offered various facilities including full time/ visiting professional
personnel, as well as medical and entertainment facilities
Wellness Centres
increased discretionary spending, rising income levels and changing lifestyles are driving the focus towards
wellness and preventive healthcare
these centres encompass Ayurveda treatment centres, dietary counselling facilities, medi-spas, alternative
medicine centres, etc.
Health cities
refers to a single campus having wellness centres, multiple single speciality hospitals, educational and
training institutes, centres of excellence (COEs), etc.
facilities such as blood banks, imaging centres, clinical laboratories, as well as functions such as finance
and management are often shared between the different speciality hospitals
mostly, health cities are located on the outskirts of cities

It is imperative for the sector to not only raise the quality of service delivery, but also ensure equitable
access of basic healthcare to the dramatically increasing population and gear up its capabilities to tackle
the changing disease incidence profiles. Inspiration and learning from southern states such as Kerala
and Tamil Nadu which have successfully brought about effective changes to their healthcare regime, by
undertaking strong action on social determinants and making comprehensive efforts to enhance the
efficiency of public health system respectively, can go a long way in assisting the northern regions of the
country in devising a robust healthcare structure. Going forward, the ability of the healthcare sector to
institute an effective healthcare policy will be critical to define the manner in which the nation‟s
healthcare resources, funds and services are equitably allocated, utilised, developed, distributed and
accessed.

A regional health strategy
A regional approach for developing sustainable health systems is the only means to address the
ballooning healthcare need of the Northern Region. Combined with innovative delivery models
and technological interface to bring regions together, Healthcare continues to remain one of the
most promising sectors for the Indian Economy for the coming decade and thereafter.
A regional focus can be maintained either through the current state wise institutional
framework or by channelizing the existing ecosystem of district/ civil hospitals, smaller
hospitals/ nursing care to larger hospitals in Tier I and Tier II cities. Spreading out
delivery models on the basis of the population profile of regions and doctor availability
will ensure equitable allocation of healthcare resources across all regions
Reach
Integration
Keeping the drivers in mind
Developing a clinical pathway
Skill enhancement
Integration of primary care and hospital based infrastructure to provide seamless,
uniform and pro-active care, keeping in mind the level of clinician support (doctor
availability and referral channels) that are available in and around such regions.
Ageing population profile, disease prevalence and general medical technology are key
drivers fueling the demand for healthcare in the Northern Region.
Depending on the need and complexity of surgical intervention, every doctor/
representative at the bottom of the clinical ecocystem shall decide on what activities can
be done at the primary centre level, what needs to be referred to relatively larger
hospitals/ nursing homes and finally acute needs which may need to be referred to
specialty hospitals with skilled professionals. A clear, well defined policy framework of
this clinical pathway is critical for the creation of a holistic and interlinked regional
healthcare system.
Overcome resistance of skilled medical professionals in moving to Tier II, Tier III cities
by creating a timetable of periodic mobility of professionals across deeper regions.
Develop adequate infrastructure and provide institutional support by regular and
continuous training of medical doctors and other skilled manpower to service the sector
Infrastructure support
Reducing the real estate burden and providing support for setting up infrastructure
across the entire spectrum of this regional ecosystem.
