Share your anticipations on the future of the Healthcare industry and what is the roadmap that you have planned for Health Care Global?
The healthcare industry is growing
at a rate of 17-18 percent CAGR year-on-year. Post COVID I am witnessing a lot of technological changes happening due to the intervention of AI and ML across the healthcare space. Nowadays, more doctors are adopting new technologies and advanced ways of treatments, making this arena even more promising. Apart from the existing hospital trying to prove them selves within this competitive sector, I also see a lot of start up hospitals mushrooming with innovative healthcare models. There fore, I think, in the next 15-20 years there will be a huge demand for quality health care. As the economy is growing, people are looking for good healthcare as well as infrastructure, and they are right so.
There are a few challenges in this sector as well in terms of quality indices. Elderly people in geriatric care, need more focus as we progress because the population is growing. As a developing country, we do not have a dedicated system for geriatric care. Besides focusing on the areas of expertise, the leaders of the healthcare segment also ensure that the world is getting quality care and simultaneously longevity of the patients’ lives.
What is the message that you would like to convey to upcoming professionals in this industry?
The right path always leads to good deals. Without opting for any shortcut, go for long-term investments in the Healthcare sector because it takes time to gain the confidence of your patients. Remaining committed to the patients and their families will benefit you in the long run. And Travis all of this is what I was. Lastly, keep upgrading your knowledge and updating your skills to remain relevant in this segment.
