Fortis Hospitals is one of the largest private healthcare companies in India with a network of 28 hospitals and about 3,300 beds. It aims to grow aggressively to have 40 hospitals and 6,000 beds across India by 2012. The healthcare industry in India is dominated by private sectors due to lower public expenditure and a growing and aging population. India also offers highly cost competitive medical treatment and is emerging as a hub for medical tourism, providing huge opportunities for growth in the private healthcare sector. However, the industry remains slow in adopting information technology and faces threats from increasing healthcare options in other countries like China.
