PWC report on Healthcare in India
Healthcare is one of India’s largest sectors, in terms of revenue and
employment, and the sector is expanding rapidly. During the 1990s, Indian
healthcare grew at a compound annual rate of 16%. Today the total value
of the sector is more than $34 billion. This translates to $34 per capita,
or roughly 6% of GDP. By 2012, India’s healthcare sector is projected to
grow to nearly $40 billion.
The private sector accounts for more than 80% of total healthcare
spending in India. Unless there is a decline in the combined federal and
state government deficit, which currently stands at roughly 9%, the
opportunity for significantly higher public health spending will be limited
