By Keerthi M. Aashish, Vice Chairperson
Healthcare has become one of India's largest sectors, both in terms of revenue and employment. Growing at a brisk pace due to its strengthening coverage, services, and increasing expenditure by public as well as private players, the Indian healthcare sector is expected to record a three-fold rise to reach US $372 billion in 2022 from US $110 billion in 2016. Even if during the COVID pandemic, the Indian health care system and infrastructure had proved that it is on par with developed countries in terms of protocol based approaches and execution of those approaches, our country still needs certain reformations in policymaking and health care administration. Medical Tourism has also significantly increased, as many countries in the world today turn to India for health care.
