The document discusses healthcare in India and provides statistics on life expectancy and the size of the global and Indian healthcare sectors. It notes that India's healthcare sector is valued at $34 billion and is growing at 13% annually. The major segments are public, private, hospitals, pharmaceuticals, and medical tourism. India has a low cost advantage for many medical procedures compared to other countries. The healthcare sector faces challenges around price discrimination, low per capita expenditure, and an imbalance between urban and rural facilities and populations. Future growth is expected to come from rising incomes, medical tourism, and partnerships between public and private sectors.
