It is well known fact that different countries experience healthcare differently. Nonetheless, funding pressures are likely to go up as patients expect more advanced treatments and as technology develops.\u00a0 India\u2019s health sector is uniquely placed with a vast segment of highly skilled specialist doctors, nurses, IT professionals who can provide remote care seamlessly at a fraction of the cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US healthcare system is the most expensive, consuming almost 20% of its GDP.  Yet the American system is among the least accessible, efficient and equitable. Preventable and lifestyle conditions such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes are rampant: this indicates poor access to primary care and primary prevention of disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UK healthcare system covers the whole population via the National Health System (NHS), which is 80% publicly financed from taxes, and 20% is paid for by national insurance.  Currently, 10% of the population also opts for private health insurance but cover is limited to few elective conditions. The UK spends about 10% of its GDP on healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

India spends less than 4% of its GDP on healthcare, with a quarter being funded by the public sector. Out-of-pocket payments at private hospitals make up 75% of the total expenditure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no perfect healthcare system and hence the scope to explore global healthcare through remote care. Advancements in technologies is disrupting healthcare globally and India is well positioned to grab a significant market in the healthcare industry. India should build capacity with long-term investments in human resources, infrastructure, and in primary care with a Nordic focus on preventive care to improve global population health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
