It is widely believed that the consolidations in the Indian pharma sector is likely to continue, particularly among generic drug players and will drive shareholder value going forward.India-based pharmaceutical companies have majorly been absent from much of the recent M&A activities, partly because of their healthy growth outlooks. The global pharmaceutical industry will continue to undergo a pace of rapid consolidation to drive shareholder value; particularly in the case of companies seeking new growth platforms, against the backdrop of patent expirations.With many drugs going off patent in the US, Indian pharma companies would continue to experience strong growth in American market, indian pharma companies would continue to experience strong growth in the US over the medium-term. This would be driven by the sizable generic opportunity (drugs with brand value of $25-30 billion are expected to face generic competition) over the next 2-3 years.

As one of the recently industrialized nations, India has a fast-growing economy as well as an ever-expanding, ever-urbanized population, however its healthcare system still has a lot of potential for development. To Western readers, analyzing a healthcare system in the East seems daunting. It takes some of us decades to master an understanding of the healthcare system of our origin country. Nevertheless, there are several methods to approaching another country’s system. These include the exposition of some invariant principles that apply across various contexts, the application of existing frameworks for healthcare system analysis, appraisal of the major transitions underway in the country, and an analysis of the country’s public health issues. India faces challenges in pursuing each of these goals. With regards to cost, at least 70% of all healthcare is frequently financed out-of-pocket by the population. There is little health insurance or other forms of risk pooling, little regulation and accountability of providers, and a predominance of fee-for-service payment, all of which are associated with high costs. There is also questionable efficiency of much of the state healthcare system, and a great distrust of the public sector. Against the backdrop of the above challenges, Pharmaleaders has lined up top industry experts, Pharma Academia, Ministry Officials, Government Representative, Policy Makers & Medical Professionals under one platform both in india & abroad to debate & deliberate the complex issues of the industry & give a meaningful discussion on the Brand India & Make In India concept. More than 300 professionals will be participating the mega event where professionals from Middle East, Africa, Europe, Lation America will also be attending.The historic 7th Annual Pharmaceutical Leadership Summit & Business Leadership Awards 2014 to be held in a uniquely positioned full day program encompassing two themes “Make In India – Healthcare Reforms , Insurance,Innovations,Investments & Infrastructure” & Empowering India’s Developing Healthcare System - Investing the Healthcare Solutions of Tomorrow in difficult Times at the Sahara Star, Mumbai International Airport in Mumbai, India, on December,26th , 2014.

Dr. Chandrasekar Chikkamuniyappa said  “We wanted to take a moment to extend our most sincere thanks for choosing us in two award winning categories & The award distinguishes our hospitals and me as one with a real commitment to reach our Mission and Vision in highest potential. This award is a beautiful way to spread our message to the world.Once again Thank you so much; we will do our best to represent our hospital according to the standards this award represents.”. Dr Chandrasekhar further stated that “Healthcare reforms in India need significant experimentation and innovation to determine what would work, we cannot really look at other country's models as our situation, scenario and problems are unique to us. Nowhere in the world is a country with a billion people with an urgent need for quality healthcare. We have limited resources, a fragmented delivery system with a huge variation in practises and guidelines across board, loss of public trust in healthcare providers.  Infact India has very limited public funding for healthcare for a country with a huge disease burden.”

India wants to obtain universal health coverage by 2022. India aspiring to be the next big super power definitely needs to ramp up the healthcare system by enforcing several reforms keeping the following in mind:

·         There is an urgent need to bring back patient focussed care back to centre stage

·         Innovation, community participation, public private partnership(PPP) model, most essential at the moment

·         State owned secondary and tertiary level care hospitals must either be privatized/outsourced or at least be managed by PPP model, however providing free/subsidized care for the poor must be continued at these facilities.

·         Greater Insurance penetration, State sponsored micro and macro health insurance systems can help to a great extent.

·         Cost transparency, information transparency along with awareness creation and health education of the masses can certainly help create a new health care revolution in India.

·         Medical Tourism must help hospitals cross subsidize our own patients.

·         Whatever it is providing quality care to 1.2+ billion people is going to be a challenge in any case. As there is no such example anywhere in the world, the innovative solutions have to stem out of our community & Country.

·         Charity has to become part and parcel of every healthcare establishment, As much as 50 % of the care provided must as free for the poor. At the same time we must remember that it is not just the ‘Haves’ and ‘have not’s’ but there is a huge population of “does not have enough” who will need subsidized treatments

·         “Stay In India” or “Back To India” should become the slogan for the next decade, All the doctors, nurses, paramedical personnel must be inspired to Stay in India or come back to India.

About PEOPLETREE Hospitals [PTH]

PEOPLETREE Hospitals [PTH] is a planned 200 bed, multi-super -specialty hospitals, strategically located in Yeshwantpur, Bangalore. Built on a budget of Rs50 Cr, this proof of concept project is the dream child of young doctors who have super specialized from some of the world's best hospitals and returned to India with a noble intention of giving back to their society. It is their attempt to reclaim the nobleness and trust into medical profession by providing patient focused care and by making it transparent, accessible and affordable to the common man. They distinctly stand out from their peers by their Mission- To provide each and every one a quality of care that they would want for themselves, their children, parents, family and friends.

The Story of PEOPLETREE HOSPITALS is quite a fascinating one – A group of doctors (friends from college days) come together and dream of a hospital that is purely patient focused, doctor driven and peer respected. This small group had one thing in common – they were all from humble middle class backgrounds with extra-ordinary skill sets; trained in some of the best hospitals across the globe and all hungry to transform the current health care situation. Their dream required lots of money which they never had! They left their jobs and dared to venture. Their sheer conviction and commitment, made a plausibly impossible task possible. Today PEOPLE TREE Hospitals is a reality.

Here are some statistics - Total Number of patients seen is over 27000 within 8 months of full operations - Current average foot falls per day is over 200 patients achieved in Oct ‘14. - Crossed 100 In patients (IPD) discharged in April (within 2 full months of operations)- 141% growth in IPD patients discharged in Oct ‘14 vis-à-vis Apr ‘14. -Average month on month growth of 19.4%in the last 7 months. But probably the most positive reinforcement is in the feedback from patients about the unique treatment experience the hospital offers. PEOPLE TREE Friends say that this is just a proof of concept, once this project becomes successful and sustainable – the vision is to spread across tier two cities to make quality health care accessible & affordable to each & every one. Their model of creating an Infosys in Healthcare by making everyone a stake holder in the company is probably the right model for our country. Health Care Transformation has indeed begun!
