Demand for Home healthcare services is growing exponentially due to rising elderly population.

New Delhi, November 11, 2018: Data from the National Health Profile 2017 show that there is just one government hospital bed for every 2,046 people. One research shows that India shares more than 20 per cent of the global disease burden, it accounts for only eight per cent of doctors and six per cent of hospital beds. Private hospitals work on the ALOS (average length of stay) model—the increased availability of hospital beds translates to more surgeries and hence higher revenue. Hospitals prefer to discharge patients who are stable and use the infrastructure for surgeries and other medical procedures for critical patients.
