MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION ANDANALYSIS REPORT

INDUSTRY STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT Technology in Medicine

It is increasingly being recognized that good healthis an important contributor to productivity andeconomic growth, but it is, first and foremost, anend in itself. Healthcare today is world's largestindustry with sales exceeding US $ 3 trillion andestimated to reach US$ 4 trillion by 2005. Thehealthcare sector in India is about 5.6% of the GDP(approximately Rs. 1.2 trillion), over 50% of whichis under private management. It is also one of thefastest growing industry in India. TB, Malaria, Waterrelated/Soil Transmitted illnesses, Acute Respiratoryinfections, Maternity, Nutrition, HIV/AIDS, CardioVascular Disease, Diabetes and Renal failureswitness major spending on healthcare in India. Inthe recent times, the industry has been witnessingmajor transformation in healthcare delivery withinstitutions moving from a generalist to specialist,solo practice to group practice, trust owned tocorporate management, direct payment to healthinsurance and indemnity insurance to managedcare.

OPPORTUNITIES

Health Insurance

India has one of the highest levels of privatefinancing (87%), with out of pocket expensesestimated at as high as 84.6% (India Health Report-2003). The most efficient way of providing financialprotection is to pool the risk between the rich andthe poor, the young and the old and the employedand unemployed to enable cross-subsidization. Atthe international level, the main instrument used toachieve this is health insurance. This concept isjust taking roots in India. The consolidation of third-party administrators to deliver cashless facility topatients is expected drive both insurance and thehealthcare business in the country.

Overseas patients

Recent trends indicate that patients from acrossthe world are heading towards hospitals in Indiafor affordable high quality surgeries and treatment.By 2010, India would be moving into Biotech agewith business value being the well being of theIndividual. The hospital's initiative to achieve JCIaccreditation will help the Hospital to get into thepanel of eminent international insurancecompanies resulting in increased flow of patientsfrom abroad.

State of the art intensive care units and operationtheatres, Non-invasive surgery, MRI guidance,Microwave therapy and proton beam therapy fortreating cancer and biochips in labs performingtasks including DNA screening, Telemedicine andTele-surgery present exciting possibilities.

Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals continuously investsin cutting edge technology and state-of-art medicalequipment to provide world class treatment to itspatients. The Hospital has the distinction of havingmore than 50 specialties, which provide a singlewindow to a patient to a multi-disciplinary team ofspecialists. Combination of professionally eminentdoctors and the state-of-art of equipment hasplaced the Hospital at the forefront of tertiary carereferral centres in the country and is poised to takefull advantage of the developments taking place inmedical equipment technology revolution.

E-health

Internet has become a major and an inexpensivemedium to promote health awareness. It is relativelyeasy to operate and presents boundlessopportunities and hope to patients living in remoteparts of the country.

THREATS

Competition

In the last one year, health care industry haswitnessed intense corporate activity with newplayers making foray while existing ones are beefingup their infrastructure. Various other corporate haveentered the scene and others are at the doorstep.The need of the hour is to gear up for stiffercompetition in the near future.

Technological Obsolescence

The healthcare business is highly capital intensiveand requires large amount of investments inmedical equipment to be technologically up-to-date. The rapid advances in medical equipmenttechnology can render equipment obsolete evenbefore it pays back its investment.
