Challenges
Aging Population
It is predicted that from the year 2000 until 2050, the world's population over the age of 60 will be around 2 billion. This increase is mostly occurring in less developed countries where the older population will rise from 400 million in 2000 to 1.7 billion by 2050.
Increased Cost of Care
Healthcare costs are rising rapidly. Use of costly drugs and new technologies, rising costs of diagnostic equipment and complex pre & post programs are the common reasons behind it.
Limited Resources
When the World Health Organization specifics the minimum ratio of doctor to patient ratio as 1:1,000, India has only one doctor per 1,700 citizens. Apart from shortage of doctors, there is a severe shortage of equipment and hospital beds.
Increased Patient Expectation
Patients are becoming more vigilant and expect better quality, care and immediate attention from the healthcare providers.
Larger Disease Burden
The rates of chronic diseases are dramatically increasing across all countries. In the year 2002, worldwide, 60% of the deaths were due at least in part to chronic diseases - And approximately ¾ of the world's chronic disease-related deaths occurred in developing countries. The major chronic diseases are: cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and stroke
Key Technology Challenges
Information technology is playing a vital role in improving the quality of care, controlling healthcare costs and increasing efficiency. With the tremendous growth in HIT over the last few years, both public and private healthcare sectors are able to meet quality standards and better serve the patients.
