admin India has made striking progress in health standards in the post-independence era, but apparently, the industrial revolution brought colossal social changes that impacted on Indian healthcare. The rapid and unplanned growth of cities carried opportunities for transmission of infections, increased injuries through perilous factories, thus death rates rose rapidly and social supports crumbled with increasing population mobility.
Necessity spawns innovation, and at Indian hospitals, innovation is resulting not from a grand design but from constant experimentation and adaptation. Regardless of the pressing demand and constrained supply, a few Indian hospitals have devised ways of providing world-class healthcare affordably—and to scale. These hospitals as Leaders — having taken the lead in improving quality to global standards and in enhancing patient and healthcare worker safety — and they have targeted the all-inclusive socio-economic strata of Indian society, as well as medical “tourists”. Some of these hospitals such as the Manipal Hospitals Group’s flagship in Bangalore—have recorded equivalent rather better outcomes than the international standards for medical complications.
