Growing Healthcare infrastructure in India
With this trend in hospital infrastructure, Team Sweden in India, consisting of the Embassy of Sweden and Business Sweden jointly with the Swedish business community.
What
- India currently has only 1.4 beds per 1 000 population as compared to the target of 3.2 beds per
1 000 population. - To bridge this gap, India needs to add 1.3 Billion sq.ft of healthcare space by 2030.
- This has already resulted in a surge in hospital infrastructure through M&As and expansions among leading hospital networks in the last couple of years boosting both green and brown field projects.
- This has also increased the adoption of innovative solutions to enable increased accessibility and affordability driven by digitization.
How
- With this trend in hospital infrastructure, Team Sweden in India, consisting of the Embassy of Sweden and Business Sweden jointly with the Swedish business community formed the Swedish Healthcare consortium.
- This healthcare consortium is partnering with all the leading hospital chains and EPC players in India to drive implementation of Swedish solutions which can cater to 60% to 70% of the hospital needs.
- To drive innovative healthcare solutions, in 2020, a tri-partite agreement was signed between two of India's premier healthcare institutes - AlIMS Delhi (All India Institute of Medical Sciences), AlIMS Jodhpur and Sweden's Trade Commissioner's office to India (Business Sweden in India) to implement India-Sweden Healthcare Innovation Centre (ISHIC).
- Through the centre, we were able to touch over 100 000 lives through partnership with Swedish solution providers and multiple state & central government institutions.
