The Crucial Role of Private Healthcare in India's Primary Health Landscape

India’s healthcare burden has shifted significantly from Maternal and Child health and common
communicable diseases to rising prevalence of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs).
Incidentally, NCDs are now responsible for more than 65% of deaths in the country. Recognising
this, Government of India envisioned to a transformation in Primary Health, changing its focus
from very selective to comprehensive primary healthcare, delivered via upgraded primary
health facilities- Health and Wellness Centres (HWCs). As the first pillar of Ayushman Bharat,
more than 1.5 lakh HWCs (now known as Ayushman Arogya Mandir) were operationalised
between 2018-22.
Today, there are more than 1.6 HWCs across the country and HWCs have become a
cornerstone of India's public healthcare strategy. However, the sheer size of the population,
limited resources, and the expansion of services require a multifaceted approach.

“AROGYA MANDAPAM”- HOSPITALS OF THE FUTURE

Primary healthcare in India is majorly provided by Government Health Centres, Community Health
Workers (ASHA), Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Private Clinics and Hospitals and
Traditional Healers. Despite efforts to strengthen primary healthcare, India faces numerous
challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, shortages of healthcare workers, disparities in
healthcare access between urban and rural areas, limited funding, and high out-of-pocket healthcare
expenditures for patients. Public hospitals and Medical colleges run by the government do provide
specialist care across a range of specialties but are not sufficient to provide affordable services to all.
Private hospitals will and always play a significant role in India’s healthcare landscape, particularly in
urban areas, offering a wide range of healthcare services including specialist care, advanced
diagnostics, and surgical procedures. Initiatives taken by the Government are indicative that it is
committed to provide healthcare to all. Government alone will not be able to reach out to the
masses. It will have to depend on Public Private Partnerships and collaborations in a manner that the
investment is profitable and sustainable too. Private equity with Governmental support could be a Lt Gen (Dr) AK Das

"Revolutionizing Healthcare: The Role of Pharmacogenomics in Precision Medicine"

In the realm of modern medicine, where drugs save millions of lives annually, the challenge lies in
their varying effectiveness and adverse drug reaction among individuals. The emerging field of
pharmacogenomics is poised to revolutionize healthcare, providing personalized and effective
treatments based on an individual's genetic makeup.
What is Precision Medicine?
Precision medicine aims to deliver healthcare tailored to each patient, and at its core is
pharmacogenomics. This discipline, explores how an individual's genetic makeup influences drug
response, is rapidly evolving. Over 200 medications now have designated pharmacogenomic
biomarkers, enabling the customization of treatments with quantitative genetic information.
Why is genomic information helpful for medication and treatment?
Mr Amol Naikawadi
When a medication is ingested, the body undergoes a critical process crucial to the drug's response. Joint Managing Director
Metabolism can either deactivate an active medication or enhance the activity of an inactive one. Indus Health Plus
The correct functioning of medication requires the active form to remain in the body for a specific
duration. Varied metabolism rates among individuals can impact the desired medication impact or
lead to delayed elimination, resulting in adverse drug reactions (ADRs). Genetic variations in drug-
metabolizing enzymes can affect individual drug response, making the same treatment less effective
or unsafe even at regularly prescribed dosage.

“Revolutionizing Healthcare: The Role of Pharmacogenomics in Precision Medicine”

Clinical Implementation of Pharmacogenomics
Clinical pharmacogenomics implementation aims to
seamlessly integrate genomics data with patient-specific
factors for informed drug choices. Clinicians were aware of
tailoring medications based on patient characteristics, now
they can leverage modern genomics technologies to select
targeted medicines and identify individuals prone to adverse
reactions. Implementation models, from reactive testing in
academic health facilities to pre-emptive panel-based
approaches, demonstrate the dynamic integration of
pharmacogenomics into patient care.
The Future of Pharmacogenomics
While pharmacogenomics is relatively new in India, it has made progress globally which is not just restricted to oncology or
psychiatry, promising a transformative future in preventive healthcare. The field is rapidly expanding, with ongoing efforts to build
awareness about its potential role in an effective treatment.
In conclusion, as pharmacogenomic testing is currently applied to a limited number of drugs, the growing field necessitates an
awareness platform. Healthcare providers should collaborate with key industry players to create an ecosystem for the next
generation of preventive healthcare, ensuring that pharmacogenomics becomes an integral part of the healthcare landscape, and
this is crucial in realizing the full potential of pharmacogenomics for a risk-free and effective healthcare future.

“Democratizing Diagnostics with Digitization ”

Imagine a future where mysterious diagnoses become clear, patients actively navigate their health
journeys, and technology unveils hidden patterns to predict disease with remarkable accuracy. This is
the transformative vision unfolding at the intersection of digitization and democratization in
healthcare diagnostics.
From Scattered Records to Seamless Insights: The Power of Digitization
Gone are the days of inaccessible paper records hindering patient care. Enter Electronic Health
Records (EHRs), secure digital vaults that store and organize medical data seamlessly. Healthcare
professionals, regardless of location, can now access a patient's complete medical history, fostering
continuity of care and leading to more informed diagnoses.
But digitization doesn't stop there. It unlocks the potential of vast datasets through advanced
algorithms and machine learning. These sophisticated tools sift through mountains of information,
uncovering hidden patterns invisible to the human eye. This opens the door to predictive diagnostics, Dr Arjun Dang
allowing healthcare professionals to anticipate disease progression, assess treatment effectiveness, CEO
and predict potential outcomes with remarkable accuracy. Dr Dangs Lab

Empowering Patients, Reshaping Healthcare: The Democratization Shift

The power shift in healthcare goes beyond technology. Democratization empowers patients by placing
them at the center of their health data. Through secure patient portals and mobile apps, individuals
gain unprecedented access to their medical records, lab results, and diagnostic reports. This
transparency fosters informed decision-making and active participation in their healthcare journey.

“Democratizing Diagnostics with Digitization”

Patients are no longer passive recipients of information. They actively contribute valuable insights through patient-generated
data, including symptom tracking and lifestyle choices. This holistic view empowers healthcare professionals to craft tailored
treatment plans, optimizing care for each individual. Imagine a patient with diabetes using a mobile app to track their blood
sugar levels, providing valuable data for their doctor to personalize their insulin regimen.
A Collaborative, Personalized Future: Where the Roads Converge
As digitization and democratization continue to intertwine, the future of healthcare diagnostics promises to be revolutionary.
Advancements in technology and data analytics will push the boundaries of predictive accuracy, enabling early detection and
personalized interventions. AI algorithms are being developed and deployed for analyzing vast datasets to identify individuals
at risk for specific diseases, allowing for preventative measures and early treatment.
Empowered with knowledge and ownership, patients will collaborate more
actively with healthcare providers, leading to a patient-centered healthcare
model. Individuals will no longer be passive recipients of care, but active
participants in their health journey. Diagnostics will shift from a reactive
approach to a proactive one, empowering individuals to take control of their well-
being and achieve optimal health outcomes.
This transformative vision, fueled by digitization and democratization, has the
potential to usher in a new era of personalized, collaborative, and data-driven
healthcare, where individuals are empowered to actively manage their health
and thrive.
