INTRODUCTION:

Healthcare, at $2.8 trillion, is the world’s largest industry today and is the fastest-growing private consumption category. A 26 percent compounded annual growth was seen in expenditure on medical and healthcare services between the 1993-94 and 1999-2000 period. The high growth rate suggests that the industry is headed in the same direction in India.

The Asian market currently constitutes 34% of global healthcare market valued at US $107 billion. It is projected to increase to 45% by 2005 due to anticipated healthcare spending of most Asian countries.
