This book analyzes the historical development and current state of
India's healthcare industry. It describes three sets of institutions
that deliver healthcare services, finance these services, and
manufacture products used in these services. These institutions
provide healthcare (hospitals, physicians, pharmacies, and diagnostic
laboratories), pay for healthcare (individuals who pay out-of-pocket,
insurance companies, community insurance schemes, government
ministries) and produce the technology used in healthcare delivery
(pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, and medical devices). The volume also
discusses innovative efforts to raise capital for the development of
these sectors. Finally, it includes three interesting case studies of
innovative models of healthcare delivery (L. V. Prasad, Aravind, and
Vaatsalya), as well as analyses of other innovative organizations like
Narayana Hrudaylaya and the hospital chains. The contributors to the
volume include Wharton faculty members, graduates of Wharton's
healthcare MBA program, and executives and consultants from India.
