Growth and Challenges of India's Private Healthcare Sector Examined
India's private healthcare sector has grown significantly, driven by corporate hospitals and foreign investment, expanding access especially in urban and tier 2 and 3 cities. While private providers contribute advanced care and medical tourism, concerns persist about affordability, transparency, and patient trust, highlighted by reports of high mark-ups on medical consumables. Experts emphasize the need for a renewed social contract focusing on accountability, quality, and equitable access to address systemic challenges in the sector.
