According to the World Health Organization, France has the best healthcare delivery model, dominated by government hospitals and supported by several hundred health insurance companies and private hospitals. Nearly 96% of French citizens have private health insurance to supplement government healthcare. Thanks to our government liberalising the insurance sector, we recently became the first hospital group to own a health insurance company. We launched our first product Aditi to cover working-class families for surgeries, with a sum insured of ₹1 crore at an annual premium of just ₹10,000.
India requires over 70 million surgeries annually. Currently, India performs approximately 25 million surgeries per year. While it is impractical to triple the number of hospital beds in a short period, existing hospitals will double or triple their output.
We have invested over ₹500 crore and 20 years in developing what is perhaps one of the world’s most advanced digital platforms for healthcare. Over 90% of hospitals worldwide cannot afford electronic medical record systems.
In 10 years, India will become the first country to demonstrate that the wealth of a nation or a family has no bearing on the quality of healthcare its citizens can access.
In his last Independence Day speech, the Prime Minister announced the addition of 75,000 new medical seats over the next five years. With nearly 200,000 doctors and hundreds of thousands of nurses graduating every year, India will become the largest provider of English-speaking healthcare workers to the world.Also Read:
