Dr Rahul's Elder Care’s Post

The onset of the covid-19 pandemic, brought home to the world in general and India in particular the strategic importance of health in a nation’s security fabric. In India’s case, beyond lip service, health rarely received priority, especially with respect to effective policy implementation—the shortage of oxygen supplies during the pandemic was a grim reminder of India’s health deficit.New data sets released by the National Health Accounts (NHA), suggest that India may be at a tipping point with respect to its healthnomics. To unpack the findings StratNews Global spoke to Indranil Mukhopadhyay, professor and health economist at the Jindal School of Government and Public Policy.

𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮'𝘀 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 A lot has happened the last week. Trump has gotten back to power, and all nations are jittery on how the US would respond to them - on both their security and economic commitments. But from Indian perspective, one thing is clearer. Despite considerable re-adjustments in the globalisation, because of the R & D centric AI world, Indian high skilled workforce will be highly sought after, and is going to be mobile across the Europe and the US. This requires India to be ready with appropriate responses for taking care of the elderly parents of the Indian diaspora adults back home here in India. This is where Citraverse Healthcare is putting in the foundations for taking care of the elderly people with chronic illness - through its platform and Geriatric Care Managers - in a high trust environment.

India's economic landscape is on a trajectory to reach new heights, potentially securing the position of the third-largest economy by 2027. This growth is underpinned by strong GDP performance. However, amidst this progress, the nation grapples with substantial healthcare challenges, particularly concerning malnutrition and anaemia in rural areas. According to the Global Hunger Index 2023, India currently holds the 111th spot out of 125 countries. To progress towards a healthier nation and realise the vision of a Viksit Bharat, leveraging technology becomes imperative. The government has already embarked on crucial steps, such as establishing ABHA to provide every citizen with a unique health identity and creating an interconnected medical records system. It is now our collective responsibility as individuals and organizations to further these initiatives and drive positive change in the healthcare sector. Let's come together to explore how technology can elevate our Health Index, enabling us to overcome existing healthcare challenges and propel India towards a healthier future. #HealthcareTechnology #ViksitBharat #HealthIndexImprovement

India's demographic shift is reshaping the investment landscape. The burgeoning senior care sector represents to me an unprecedented opportunity. With a rapidly aging population and growing affluence, the senior care sector is primed for exponential growth. Going behind the numbers, I noticed that there are several factors boosting this ‘Silver Economy’ like confluence of rising healthcare costs, changing family dynamics, and increasing life expectancy. By capitalizing on this demographic dividend, we can not only drive significant social impact but also unlock substantial financial returns. Do you see the future of senior care in India as a lucrative opportunity towards responsible growth? #ArbourInvestments #ArbourAdvantage #SeniorCare #SilverEconomy #IndustryInsights #IndustryNews #RealEstate

How much does India spend on healthcare compared to the rest of the world? 🇺🇸 US - 16.6% 🇨🇦 Canada - 12.2% 🇬🇧 UK - 11.3% 🇮🇳 India - 2.1%🤯 With the size of our population, spending on healthcare is still low. This leads to: → Long waiting lists Median waiting time for a general consultation is ~30 minutes in Public hospitals. For specialized treatment - it can even take >3 hours! → Rising healthcare costs Over 7% of our country’s population slides into poverty every year just because of increasing healthcare costs. → Skewed reach More than 75% of healthcare infrastructure is concentrated in urban areas, despite housing only 27% of the population. Hence, infusion of funds into healthcare becomes of utmost importance. This video by Clix Capital caught my eye. It is a story about Dr. Faizal who wasn’t able to treat his patients well because he couldn’t get access to a CT Scan machine in the district. Clix Capital helped in financing the machine allowing hundreds of people of his hometown to get access to the latest medical care. This is just one example of how giving access to healthcare outside urban India can impact millions of lives. The Indian economy is in a phase of progression. And, in this phase - investing in our human capital i.e. healthcare and education will be crucial. I see a lot more spending coming into this space. And with that, a lot of opportunities.

India has made remarkable strides in many areas, but when it comes to healthcare investment, we’re falling behind our BRICS counterparts. With just about 2.1% of GDP allocated to healthcare, the gap is glaring. This underinvestment shows in our infrastructure, access to quality care, and overall public health. The pandemic was a harsh reminder of how fragile our system can be. It’s time we start prioritizing healthcare—not as an expense, but as the foundation of our nation’s growth. A healthy population drives a strong economy, and we owe it to ourselves to do better. The question is: Are we ready to demand the change we need? #Healthcare #India #InvestInHealth #BRICS

Did you know that 75% of India’s rural and semi-rural population don’t have any access to modern healthcare facilities? 😵💫 This means that millions and millions of people struggle without proper treatment—either because there aren’t enough hospitals or because they simply can’t afford care. 😞 Its just sad how neglected this sector in India is! I mean the government has tried, but progress has been painfully slow! So how long do we wait? I strongly believe that capitalism is the answer for all economic problems particularly in this case cause India needs a healthcare revolution and it can be possible only through capitalism! Only if the private sector steps in with innovation, affordability, and better infrastructure, we might finally see real change!! In my recent reading, I came across some truly fascinating developments 🤯 What do you all think? Am I right? Is this it? Is a revolution on the way?
