VideoPodcast: Exclusive expert talk on the healthcare industry in India

The Corona outbreak and the devastating cyclone Amphan have put India‘s healthcare system under severe pressure and call for long-term adjustments to make it more resilient.

In recent years, the healthcare industry in India has grown at an enormous pace due to its wider coverage, extended services and increasing acceleration by public and private actors. In 2018, the world’s largest government funded healthcare scheme, Ayushman Bharat, was introduced to enable low-income households to get better access to healthcare. Analysts expect the healthcare market to reach a size of 372 billion USD by 2022, driven also by rising incomes, greater health awareness, lifestyle diseases and increasing access to insurance.
