Abstract
The healthcare industry in India has come a long way from the days when those who could afford it had to travel abroad to get highly specialised services such as cardiac surgery, while others had to do without it. Today, patients from neighbouring countries in Asia are coming to India to receive specialised medical treatment. Not only is India meeting international standards, but at prices that compare very favourably with developed countries. The case takes a look at the healthcare industry in India: (1) how it has evolved; (2) the innovations that have taken place in the industry; and (3) the emerging trends and the opportunities for the future. Through a few significant players in the industry, the case examines the competencies that India has developed in healthcare. It explores how these healthcare providers are endeavouring to provide services to India's vast and widely spread population, through innovative methods.
