25 Years Of Experience in Medical Services
| Home Healthcare as a concept is gaining ground across the globe. The growth drivers are the changing clinical and societal milieu. Some estimates point out our current geriatric population (aged over 65 years) — at over 110 million. This is expected to grow to 325 million by 2050.
In India, Home Healthcare is at a very nascent stage as compared to western countries. 80% of non-urgent medical care that is currently given in hospitals can be delivered at home, some of which are: |
| Continuum of care: The need for better quality post-operative and primary care beyond hospitals in order to improve long-term outcomes post procedure. Non-communicable diseases which are chronic in nature, requiring long-term monitoring and regular interventions to keep them on track.
Family structure: With the growing number of nuclear families, with greater urban and even international migration, the elderly are left with no caregivers. Quality of life: People are now looking not just at longevity, but also the quality of life. Apart from complex medical procedures, if these don’t significantly improve, quality of life would remain a small attitude among the elite. Rather than seek aggressive medical intervention, many are opting for symptom management at home. Mindset: A changing consumer mindset is now trending towards comparing healthcare with other services, with access to healthcare at the place and time of their convenience. Home Healthcare or home-based healthcare is thus a solution that is increasingly better suited for the times we live in. |
| Currently, elderly care, physiotherapy, rehabilitation and diabetes management are four services that witness maximum demand in the homecare segment. Going forward, we foresee a growing demand for dialysis, chemotherapy, caring for children with special needs and palliative care.
At a macro level too, home healthcare frees up precious hospital beds and comes as a boon for the already burdened healthcare infrastructure in India. The significant demand-supply gap in our healthcare system is addressed as homecare complements the overall healthcare delivery system by reducing the average length of stay in a hospital, ensuring proper utilization of existing bed capacity and significantly strengthening the care continuum. |
