Private equity can expand healthcare, but capital must align with quality, access and patient interest: Experts
At the sixth edition of ETHealthWorld’s Healthcare Leaders Summit, healthcare leaders and investors examined the role of private equity in addressing India’s capacity gap, while stressing that investment must be accompanied by quality, ethical governance, wider access and sustainable value creation.
India's healthcare sector is experiencing a surge in private equity investment, which is transforming various segments of the industry, including hospitals, diagnostics, medtech, and health-tech. However, this growing influence of private capital has raised concerns regarding patient affordability, access, and the overall quality of care.
The 6th Healthcare Leaders Summit, organized by ETHealthworld, Women Lead India Alliance, and Dasra, aims to address these issues by bringing together healthcare leaders, policymakers, investors, and practitioners to discuss the challenges and opportunities surrounding patient, private equity, and affordability. The summit will feature panel discussions on topics such as the economics of hospital operations, medtech, artificial intelligence, medical education, and people-centric care models, highlighting the need for balancing investment and innovation with the imperative of equitable and affordable healthcare for all Indians.
