Case Stories & Highlighted Learnings
A global investment firm recently acquired two leading hospital chains in a secondary city. While the transaction proceeded smoothly for all stakeholders, it resulted in a notable increase in patient costs, reflecting a broader sectoral trend. Across the Global South, healthcare investments by private players have frequently driven higher treatment prices, as investors prioritize operational efficiencies. This dynamic highlights the tension between capital inflows and affordability, particularly in markets with fragmented hospital networks. At the same time, investors are channeling significant funds into rural and semi-urban healthcare, targeting primary care clinics, diagnostic centers, telemedicine platforms, and small hospitals, creating a twin paradox of rising costs in urban centers alongside expanded access in underserved areas.
The Challenge
While private investment expands access in underserved areas of the Global South, rising costs in urban centers strain patients as well as healthcare providers and investors. Meanwhile, doctors and nurses continue to work under extreme conditions. Given this context, how can the healthcare ecosystem be strengthened for all stakeholders.
Strengthening Global South Healthcare through Innovation: Insights from India’s Nursing Network
Indian nurses have long been a cornerstone of global healthcare, forming a highly skilled workforce that has transformed patient care. Across advanced hospitals and emerging regional facilities worldwide, they bring clinical expertise and resilience. In some facilities, nurses are the primary caregivers, running entire units and ensuring patient care in the absence of doctors. Their impact goes beyond staffing. They have driven innovations in patient management and community health. This includes clinical process as well as patient care and management innovations. The network shows how one nation’s workforce can shape healthcare outcomes across the globe. Similarly, innovations by each stakeholder network have expanded opportunities. Our experts seek to learn from them.
