Private healthcare sector in India: The missing data
In over three to four decades, the private health sector has evolved from small individual practices to a large, organised industry in India. However, the development of a reliable, updated official database or registry at the national or state level that provides comprehensive information on characteristics of private hospitals is missing. The existing valuable data from national surveys, case studies, news reports, and anecdotal accounts cannot, and should not, be substitutes for the actual, ground level, and real-time information about private providers. – Reproduced
