The current economic crisis provides an opportunity to reshape current healthcare system but the recent economic turmoil coupled with the high cost of economic recovery will likely limit the availability of health-care rupees. Hence, innovation that reduces the spiraling health-care costs, raises productivity and improves health outcomes is the best option for delivering a sustainable and scalable healthcare system.
