The
health care sector in India has witnessed an enormous
growth in infrastructure in the private and voluntary
sector. The private sector which was very modest
in the early stages, has now become a flourishing
industry equipped with the most modern state-of-the-art
technology at its disposal. It is estimated that
75-80% of health care services and investments
in India are now provided by the private sector.
An
added plus had been that India has one of the largest
pharmaceutical industries in the world. It is self sufficient
in drug production and exports drugs to more than 180
countries.
