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

Brief description Advantages/ Uses

Digital Health

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.

• training patients who use self-diagnostic kits

• training the users of device implants

• training the various stakeholders in the use of new IT

applications in healthcare such as EMR, HER, etc.

• educating the general public about the various

essentials of healthcare

• advocating a shift from curative to preventive

healthcare

The Electronic

Medical Record

(EMR)

Signifying the digital format of a patient medical

record, the EMR is, essentially, a tool to capture

basic patient data such as patient medical history,

history of various drug allergies, prescriptions,

previous consultation records, etc.

• enables hospitals to ameliorate the inconveniencies of

using existing paper records

• ensures efficient data storage, data backup, data

recovery, data portability and data maintenance, at

competitive costs

• aids in better retrieval of information by doctors

resulting in informed and swift decision making

Mobile healthcare

(m-health)

Use of mobile phones to improve the real-time

collaboration between healthcare service providers

and patients

• relatively lower storage space requirement

• low cost of maintenance over the traditional medical

libraries

The Electronic

Health Record

(EHR)

EHR serves to overcome the limitation of EMR; that

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

healthcare delivery right from the entry of the patient

to his discharge.

• rooting out inefficacies in the system

• reducing costs

• offering a higher quality of patient care

• improving patient medical data integrity

• avoiding duplication of data

• minimising transcription errors

• ensuring real time data access for doctors and other

healthcare service providers

PRACTO An online practice management software that

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.

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) works to create and sustain an environment conducive

to the development of India, partnering industry, Government, and civil society, through advisory

and consultative processes. CII is a non-government, not-for-profit, industry led and industry

managed organization, playing a proactive role in India's development process. Founded over 118

years ago, India's premier business association has over 7100 member organizations, from the private

as well as public sectors, including SMEs and MNCs, and an indirect membership of over 90,000

CII charts change by working closely with Government on policy issues, interfacing with thought

leaders, and enhancing efficiency, competitiveness and business opportunities for industry through a

healthcare, education, livelihood, diversity management, skill development, empowerment of women,

and water, to name a few.

The CII Theme for 2013-14 is Accelerating Economic Growth through Innovation,

Transformation, Inclusion and Governance. Towards this, CII advocacy will accord top priority

to stepping up the growth trajectory of the nation, while retaining a strong focus on accountability,

transparency and measurement in both the corporate and social eco-system, building a knowledge
