OVERVIEW OF HEALTHCARE SECTOR IN INDIA

India’s healthcare sector has made impressive strides in recent years. It has transformed to a

US$ 17 billion industry and is surging ahead with an annual growth rate of 13% a year. The

healthcare industry in India expected to grow in size to Rs 270,000 core by 2012. The

healthcare industry employs over four million people, which makes it one of the largest

service sectors in the economy of our country.

Healthcare is dependent on the people served; India’s huge population of a billion people

represents a big opportunity. People are spending more on healthcare. The rise in literacy

rate; the higher levels of income; and an increased awareness through the deep penetration of

media, has constituted to greater attention being paid to health. India has a very low density

of doctors. Infant mortality is amongst the highest in India.



Hospitals in India are running at 80-90% occupancy. Major corporations like the Manipal,

Apollo Group, Fortis, Max, Wockhardt, Piramal, Duncan, Ispat, Escorts have made

significant investments in setting up state-of–the-art private hospitals in cities like Mumbai,

New Delhi, Chennai and Hyderabad.

Good Healthcare in India is in extreme short supply and it is this gap that Corporate are

looking to plug. Most users of healthcare prefer private services to government ones. The

private Healthcare segment has grown into a formidable industry estimated to be Rs.8,00,000

crores. Using the latest technical equipment and the services of highly skilled medical

personnel these hospitals are in a position to provide a variety of general as well as

specialists’ services.

“India is well positioned to tap the top end of the $3 trillion global healthcare industry

because of the facilities and services it offers, and by leveraging the brand equity of Indian

healthcare professionals across the globe”, said Vinod Khanna, Union Minister of State for

External Affairs.

The Government of India places top priority to healthcare in the national agenda. It is very

serious about encouraging indigenous R&D and creation of human capital. This would

improve the quality of life of our people, leading to greater socio-economic progress of the

country.

As medical costs sky rocket in the developed world, countries like India have immense

potential for what is called "Medical Tourism", highlighted Harpal Singh, Conference

Chairman, in his theme address. “India, with outstanding human resource talent and the

setting up of world class medical facilities, was now poised to take leadership in the fast

emerging arena of healthcare management which is witnessing the first signs of

globalization”.

ORIGIN OF THE INDUSTRY



Institutions created specifically to care for the ill appeared early in India. In ancient India,

hospitals for men and animals were established during the reign of Maurya and Gupta Kings.

Under the Emperor Ashoka (260 B.C.), there were schools with attached hospitals. A few

religious and charitable endowments in South India established schools with attached

hospitals. Such hospitals were known as "Veera Solan". In South India an edict dated 1097 of

Veera Chola Maharaj refer to a sixteen bedded hospital for students of the school attached to

the templeat Tirumakundal in Chingleput District. There are also ruins of a hospital at

Mahintale near Anuradhpura in Sri Lanka. It is believed to have been constructed by

Mahendra, the son of Ashoka. Emperor Akbar, in the 16th century, built a large hospital at

Fatehpur Sikri.

In India, Western medicine was introduced by the Portuguese sometime in the 16th century.

In 1510, Albuquerque built the Royal Hospital in Goa. Many years later, in 1703, an

elementary course in medicine was organized in this hospital. The East India Company built

a Military Hospital in Madras in 1664; later on in 1750, it was declared open to the civilian

population. In Bombay, the first hospital was opened in 1676. Later, the J.J.group of

hospitals, founded in the year 1843, started functioning in May 1845. Named after Sir

Jamshetjee Jejeebhoy whose munificent donation helped in the building of this hospital, the

J.J.Hospital with its Grant Medical College was responsible for introducing modern allopathy

to western India. The idea of starting such an institute had earlier been mooted by Sir Robert

Grant, then Governor of Bombay in 1835. Earlier, medical schools had already been

established in Calcutta and Madras.

By the turn of the century, however on seeing that less qualified Britishers were preferred

over competent Indian physicians for jobs, nationalists decided to build a hospital where

Indian doctors could treat patients. This led to the formation of the King Edward VII

Memorial (KEM Hospital) in 1926. The famous people associated with this hospital over the

years include Jivraj N Mehta and R.J. Vakil (physicians ), R.N. Cooper, A.V. Baliga, P.K.Sen

(surgeons) and V.R. Khanolkar (pathologist). The Tata Memorial Hospital (1941) and the

Cancer Research Institute (1952) are in the forefront of India's fight against the dreaded

disease, cancer. The motto of the Tata Memorial Centre, Bombay [comprising the above two

institutions] is ' Service, Research, Education'. This centre was built solely out of personal

tragedy. Lady Meherbai Tata was sent to England in 1930 for treatment of leukemia. Her

husband, Sir Dorabji realized that such a thing would not be possible for most Indians; he

decided, therefore to build a hospital for cancer patients in India. Another institution of repute

is the AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences), New Delhi which was started in 1956

for the development of excellence in all aspects of heath care including undergraduate and

postgraduate teaching, training, research and experimentation. The heart transplant performed

by P.Venugopal in 1994 was in this hospital.

Perhaps the Indian hospital best known all over the world is the Christian Medical College,

Vellore. It is a 1500 bed hospital, based at a town, 130 km from Madras in South India. Ida

Scudder, an American Schoolgirl was visiting her parents in India in the late 19th century.

Asked to assist in childbirth, Ida refused since she was ignorant of the procedure. To her

horror, all 3 children died. This prompted Ida to study medicine in the USA. On returning to

India in 1900, Ms Scudder, started a Clinic in Vellore. Later, she started a school for

compounders (1903), a school for Nurses (1909) and finally a medical school for women in

1918. From 1947 onwards, males were also admitted.

MARKET OVERVIEW

India has a fairly comprehensive healthcare system comprising of government and private

service providers. However, the system reaches barely fifty percent of the population –

mainly on account of general infrastructure bottlenecks. The country lags behind international

standards on basic healthcare infrastructure and facilities. India has 94 beds per 100,000

populations as compared to the WHO norm of 333 beds per 100,000. The density of doctors

is also low. There are only 43 doctors for a population of 10,000.

SIZE OF MARKET

India's healthcare industry is estimated at Rs 1000 billion. Of this, pharmaceuticals account

for Rs 200 billion. As per some estimates, Rs 185 billion is spent on healthcare annually.

On average, Indian families spend 600 per month on healthcare which is 11% of the

household income, showing that they are willing to spend provided the service they get is of



high standard. According to The World Health Report 2000, India's health expenditure is

5.2% of its GDP. Public and private health expenditure is 13% and 87% respectively.

The Indian healthcare industry, unlike other industries, stands untouched by recession. There

had been a steady growth in this sector, revenues from the healthcare sector accounts for

5.2% of the GDP, making it the third largest growing sector in India, and further the

healthcare sector is projected to grow to nearly 1, 80,000 crores by year 2012 that GDP 6.2%

to 7.5% and a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15-17 percent for at least the next

7-10 years.

FUTURE OUTLOOK

People are both living longer and expecting a higher quality of life. Both of those will

increase demand for the healthcare industry. In addition, the “baby boomer” generation is

beginning to reach the age where increased medical attention is almost necessary. All of these

lead to a positive outlook for growth in the healthcare industry. The health care sector has

been attracting huge investment from domestic players as well as financial investors and

private equity firms across the globe. The sector’s perceived recession-proof nature the

demand-supply gap and the possibility of attractive financial returns makes it attractive for

investors. Feedback ventures expect private equity funds to invest about USD 1 billion in the

health care sector in the next five years.

The economic slowdown does not seem to have had a major impact on corporate hospitals,

which continue to remain upbeat about their performance in FY09-10. Many hospitals have

planned growth strategies and expect good out comes this fiscal. Manipal hospitals a third-

largest hospital chain, planed to form a new entity to run its hospitals as part of a

restructuring that it expects will help raise Rs100-125 crore for expansion and help attract

investors in further fund-raising activities. Manipal Hospitals expects to acquire a hospital or

a chain of two to three hospitals in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, or smaller cities such as

Hyderabad or Pune.

MCKENSY’S 7s FRAME WORK

According to Mc Kinsey a company strategy is only one of the 7 elements of the successful

practices. The 7’s frame work first appeared in “the art of Japanese management” by Richard

Pascal and Anthony Athos in 1981. They had been looking at how Japanese industry had

been so successful, at around the same time that Tom Peters and Robert Waterman were

exploring what made a company excellent. The 7S model was born at a meeting of our

authors in 1978.

There are seven basic dimensions, which represent the core of managerial activities. These

are the “Levers” which the executives use to influence complex and large organizations.

Obviously, there was a concerned effort on the part of the originators of the model to coin the



managerial variables with cords beginning with the letter ‘S’ so as to increase the

communication power of the model.

Strategy, structure and systems can be considered the “hardware” of success while style; staff

and shared values can be seen as the “software Companies in which these soft elements are

present are usually more successful at the implementation of the strategy.

Strategy: the direction and scope of the company over the long term.

Structure: the basic organization of the company, its departments, reporting lines, areas of

expertise and responsibility (and how they inter-relate).

Systems: formal and informal procedures that govern everyday activity, covering everything

from management information systems, through to the systems at the point of contact with

the customer (retail systems, call center systems, online systems, etc).

Systems: formal and informal procedures that govern everyday activity, covering everything

from management information systems, through to the systems at the point of contact with

the customer (retail systems, call center systems, online systems, etc).

Skills: the capabilities and competencies that exist within the company. What it does best.

Shared values: the values and beliefs of the company. Ultimately they guide employees

towards 'valued' behavior.

Staff: the company's people resources and how they are developed, trained and motivated.

Style: the leadership approach of top management and the company's overall operating

approach.

ORGANISATION ACCORDING TO MCKINSEY’S 7s MODEL



STRATEGY

Actions a company plans in response to or anticipation of changes in its external

environment. The strategies of the company are developed on the basis of analysis of internal

and external environment. Consequently the values, preferences, attitude towards risks have

been carefully examined while formulating strategies.

its objectives and goals in a competitive situation.

STYLE

Style refers to the employees shared and common way of thinking and behaving – written

decisions take into account the best interests of the employees as well as the business. The

leader explains most decisions to the employees and ensures that their social and leisure

needs are always met. This can help balance out the lack of worker motivation caused by an

autocratic management style. Communication is again generally downward, but feedback to

the management is encouraged to maintain morale. This style can be highly advantageous

when it engenders loyalty from the employees, leading to a lower labor turnover, thanks to

the emphasis on social needs.

Implementation is done after threadbare discussion among various groups of employees. In

case of any confusion, reservation, stroke of any issues, matter is referred to corporate office

for guidelines.

SKILLS

The skill refers to capabilities and competencies that exist within the company. What it does

HUMAN RESOURCE DEPARTMENT

Human beings are resources to an organization. They represent an investment whose

development and utilization requires managing (i.e. planning, organizing, leadership and

evaluation). There is a fundamental truth in the cliché that “People are the organizations most

important assets”.

Human resource is the important resource of any organization. The complicated and

challenging task of human resource management is handled by the personnel department. The

aim of this department is to utilize man power to the fullest extent. Hence if an organization

has to succeed it has to select right men to right job and right place at the right time.

Functions performed by personnel department are:

• Manpower planning

• Recruitment

• Selection and placement

• Training and Development

• Performance management system

• Wage and salary administration

• Employee relations and welfare facilities

• Legal compliances

• Compensation and benefits

• Retirement

Human resource planning is a double edged weapon. If used properly it leads to

maximum utilization of human resources, reduces excessive labor turn over and high



absenteeism, improves productivity and aims in achieving the objectives of the

organization.

Every organization consists of human resource department which is inevitable in today’s

fast changing world. So is the case with Manipal which has an effective HR department.

In Manipal, totally 250 employees are working at present.

TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Training and Development nowadays constitute an ongoing process in any organization.

Training is a tool for increasing individual performance and overall organizational growth.

The objective of the training is to enable the employees to grow acquire knowledge of

thought and action.

What is “Training”?

Training refers to importing of specific skills, abilities and knowledge to an employee or it is

any attempt to improve present or future, employee performance by increasing an employee

ability to perform, through learning, usually by changing the attitude or increasing his/her

skills and knowledge.

Training is needed not only for technicians who work in the shop floor but also for

supervisors, managers and executives. After training, candidates will be placed on the jobs to

perform the tasks given to them effectively.

Development refers to those learning opportunities designed to help employees grow.

Development is, less skill oriented and stresses on knowledge. Knowledge about business

environment, management, principles and techniques, human relations, specific industry

analysis and like.

Any training & development programme must contain inputs, which enable the participants

to gain skills, learn theoretical concepts and help acquire vision to look in to the distant

future. Training is an investment in HR with a promise of better returns in future.



IMPORTANCE OF TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

Training is the corner stone of sound management, for it makes employees more effective

and productive. It is actively and intimately connected with all the personnel or managerial

activities. It is an integral part of the whole management programme, with all its many

activities functionally related.

above, it enables employees to develop and rise within the organization, and increase their

market value, earning power and job security. It moulds the employee’s attitudes and helps

moreover, heightens the morale of the employees, for it helps in reducing dissatisfaction,

complaints, grievances and absenteeism, reduces the rate of turnover. Further, trained

employees make a better and economical use of materials and equipped; therefore, wastage

and spoilage are lessened, and the needs for supervision is reduced.

intensification of the overseas competition and the relative success of economies like Japan,

Germany etc. technological development and organization change have gradually led some

employers to the realization that success relies on the skills and abilities of their employees

and this means considerable and continuous improvement in Training and Development.

This has also been underscored by the rise in HRM with its emphasis on the importance of

people and the skills they possess in enhancing organization efficiency. Such commitment to

the company and the growth in the quality movement has led senior management teams to

realize the increasing importance of training, development and education. There has also been

more recognition of the need to complement the qualities of employees with the needs of the

organization. Such concepts require not only careful planning but also a greater emphasis on

employee development.

Assessment Criteria

An employee’s Performance Assessment as captured in the formats (i.e. Appraisal forms), is

based on two key aspects:

1. Key Responsibilities (the “What”) requisite to be performed in the job

2. Key Competencies (the “How”) that are relevant to different job categories

The overall Performance Assessment, is a balanced evaluation of both “Key Responsibilities”

& “Competencies” on a four point rating scale

The Final Assessment is to result in one of the four ratings enlisted below which are to

conform to a normal distribution for respective departments, units & hence the entire

Organization:



• Outstanding

• Exceeds Expectations

• Meets Expectations

• Needs Improvement

The above ratings have descriptors to enable the assessment on each of the Key

Responsibilities & Competencies

• Outstanding: Constantly exceeds expectations in all objectives; Is a role model for

the rest of the team

• Exceeds Expectations: Is an excellent performer and meets both quality & timeline

specifications for most responsibilities

• Meets Expectations: Meets job expectations as pre decided & is a steady performer

• Needs Improvement: Needs to improve performance in several objectives;

development areas can be worked upon

Key Process Stakeholders

Appraisee: Every employee/ individual who is assessed is termed the ‘Appraisee’. Thereby

all employees are appraisee’s as their individual and thereby collective performance

contributes towards the Organization’s performance, growth and success.

Appraiser: The supervisor or individual who assesses the appraisee’s performance is termed

the ‘Appraiser’.

Reviewer: The appraiser’s manager is termed the ‘Reviewer’.

H.O.Ds: All performance assessments for a particular department are reviewed overall by the

H.O.D before it is sent to the Unit/ Function Head.



Senior Leadership Team (SLT): The CEO and his immediate reportees play a key role in

ratifying the entire Organization’s Performance Distribution, once all the performance

assessments from various Units are received & collated.

HR department: The HR team plays the role of a Co – Planner wherein it facilitates the

assessment process, in terms of communication of the assessment process flow & guidelines

to concerned stakeholders, providing advice to appraisers, H.O.Ds & Unit/

Function Heads on appropriate assessment & translating the assessment to rewards/

recognition and career development proposal to the SLT.

COMPETENCY MAPPING

Competency Mapping is a process of identifying key competencies for a company or

institution and the jobs and functions within it. Competency mapping is important and is an

essential exercise. Every well managed firm should have well defined roles and list of

competencies required to perform each role effectively. Such list should be used for

recruitment, performance management, promotions, placement and training needs

identification.

The competency framework serves as the bedrock for all HR applications. As a result of

competency mapping, all the HR processes like talent induction, management development,

appraisals and training yield much better results.

Competency Mapping gives an adept HR manager a fairly good picture of the employee to

see whether he (or she) needs to perform better or to move up a notch on the scale. Once the

employee `tops’ every indicator at his level, he moves on to the next and begins there at the

bottom – in short, he is promoted.

It helps in determining the Training and Development needs and importantly it helps to

encourage the best and develop the rest and a win-win situation for everyone.

understand the topics being covered in the training program in advance.



It is easier for the trainee to understand the material that is meaningful so all the material

should be meaningful and theory can also be made interesting if they include-

-When material is presented to the employee a variety of similar example should be

used.

-The term and concept already familiar to the trainee should be used.

Training material should be organized in a logical manner and has meaningful units.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The management should commit itself to allocate major resources and adequate time to

Training and Development.

Learning should be one of the fundamental values of the company.

The Training and Development program should be planned so that it is related to the

trainee’s past experiences and background.

The trainee should be helped to see the need of training by making him aware of the

personnel benefits he can get through better performance.

It should be recognized that all the trainees do not progress at the same rate. Therefore

flexibility should be allowed in judging the rates of progress in the Training and

Development program.

The employer should provide a work environment that will facilitate Transfer of

Training.

The manager should ensure that Transfer of Training occurs.

As trainee acquires new knowledge, skills and applies them in job situation he should be

rewarded for his efforts.

The trainee should be provided with personal assistance when they encounter obstacles.

The Training and Development should have more open discussion where the trainee’s

can come out with their opinions and make the program interactive.



More of games can be included, like Ice breaker, so that through games the learning will

be better.

The trainee should be given the intimation regarding the program in advance so that they

can make necessary preparations and avoid unnecessary interruptions.

The Training and Development program should not be held by the same trainer’s

continuously, as the trainees get bored so it would be better to have different trainers for

different sessions.

After the program the materials related to the concept can be issued so that the

employees can learn better.

Training and Development should take into consideration the best trainers from well

known training agencies could make the training effective because majority employees

are benefited from these kinds of training program’s in many ways.

Evaluation of Training Program is very important to determine Effectiveness of

Training. So the company should plan and implement a good Evaluation Design to

evaluate the Training program.

The Evaluation Design should be appropriate and it should be based on the

characteristics of the company and the importance and purpose of the Training.

A number of different designs can be used to Evaluate Training programs, like Posttest

method, Pretest/Posttest method, Pretest/Posttest with Comparison Group, Time Series

method, Solomon Four-Group method etc.
