Make In India For Health Care Services : A Swot Analysis

Abstract

Make in India is a recent major Government initiative designed to transform India into a global manufacturing hub through series of regulatory and policy framework. Under this flagship campaign healthcare sector comprising hospitals, diagnostic centres, drugs and pharmaceuticals, medical devices among others have been identified as a part of the initiative. India’s healthcare system is paradoxical i.e., on the one hand, it boasts of attracting medical tourists from across the world for its quality health service at cheaper cost, and on the other, it is characterized by lack of accessible, affordable health services for a large part of its population. The relationship between health and development is mutually reinforcing- while health contributes to economic development.
