2. Acknowledgment
As far as researches are becoming more advanced in the field of healthcare
industry, new inventions are increasing the betterment of life as well as the scope
of healthcare industry in India. Increasing scopes are attracting more investors to
invest in healthcare industry but due to electricity and road facility they are
diverting towards urban areas rather to provide facilities in rural areas.
The objective behind this project is to get partial fulfillment for the award of the
degree Bachelor of Business Administration as well as gathering information in the
field of healthcare industry and its impact over rural areas.
World Bank reported in 2014, around 70% of people lives in rural areas so scope
of healthcare industry is more in rural areas as compare to the urban areas. In such
a scenario those investors who are looking for stablishing a hospital or providing
such kind of facility in rural areas (specially for glocal medical school) then what
will be the chances to become successful, what will be challenges they can face
during operation that I have considered for my project and These challenges need
more attention to come up over it that’s why I have conducted a survey regarding
all these kind of queries to make it more clear. The very first chapter of this project
includes introduction that describe all the information regarding scope of
healthcare industry in India, market size, investment, govt. initiatives and etc. and
the second chapter is all focused on data analysis and data representation so that it
could be more elaborative for readers in this section.
The project would not have seen the light of the day without the guidance and
leadership of my concerned faculty prof. Swapnarag swain sir to whom I owe my
sincere and humble thanks, for providing me with an opportunity in bringing out
this topic.

4. Introduction
Healthcare has become one of India’s largest sectors - both in terms of revenue and
employment. Healthcare comprises hospitals, medical devices, clinical trials,
outsourcing, telemedicine, medical tourism, health insurance and medical
equipment. The Indian healthcare sector is growing at a brisk pace due to its
strengthening coverage, services and increasing expenditure by public as well
private players.
Indian healthcare delivery system is categorized into two major components - public
and private. The Government, i.e. public healthcare system comprises limited
secondary and tertiary care institutions in key cities and focuses on providing basic
healthcare facilities in the form of primary healthcare centers (PHCs) in rural areas.
The private sector provides majority of secondary, tertiary and quaternary care
institutions with a major concentration in metros, tier I and tier II cities.
India's competitive advantage lies in its large pool of well-trained medical
professionals. India is also cost competitive compared to its peers in Asia and
Western countries. The costof surgery in India is about one-tenth of that in the US
or Western Europe.
Market Size
The overall Indian healthcare market today is worth US$ 100 billion and is expected
to grow to US$ 280 billion by 2020, a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of
22.9 per cent. Healthcare delivery, which includes hospitals, nursing homes and
diagnostics centers, and pharmaceuticals, constitutes 65 percent of the overall
market. The Healthcare Information Technology (IT) market which is valued at US$

increase in near future. The average investment size by private equity funds in
healthcare chains has already increased to US$ 20-30 million from US$ 5-15 million

The Indian medical tourism industry is pegged at US$ 3 billion per annum, with
tourist arrivals estimated at 230,000. The Indian medical tourism industry is
expected to reach US$ 6 billion by 2018, with the number of people arriving in the

Road Ahead
India is a land full of opportunities for players in the medical devices industry. The
country has also become one of the leading destinations for high-end diagnostic
10. services with tremendous capital investment for advanced diagnostic facilities, thus
catering to a greater proportion of population. Besides, Indian medical service
consumers have become more conscious towards their healthcare upkeep.
India's competitive advantage also lies in the increased success rate of Indian
companies in getting Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) approvals. India
also offers vast opportunities in R&D as well as medical tourism. To sum up, there
are vast opportunities for investment in healthcare infrastructure in both urban and
rural India.

15. Conclusion:The overall data is showing that lack of wealth is creating poor
impact over access to healthcare, at the same point of time less availability of
healthcare facility is the good sign for those who are looking to provide healthcare
facility in such kind of rural areas but before making such type of decision they
will have to consider providing facility at affordable price also because most of the
people have lower income level and they want every productand services at lowest
cost.
Suggestionsand recommendation: if any investor want to establish their own
hospital or they have already established it’s a good sign for making growth in
coming few years but they must have need to focus on reducing cost because
providing better facility at affordable price need an organization to reduce their
costfirst and this can be done by using money management and waste
management.
