Poor Healthcare Infra in Rural
• Healthcare infrastructure is poor, compared to urban areas.
• The doctor patient ratio in rural areas is 1:20,000, versus the urban ratio of 1:2000
• 1:250 ratio that is a World Health Organization (WHO) norm.
• Doctors are not qualified, as most of them in villages have Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHS) & Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) degrees.

Pharmaceutical companies entering rural markets
• In the future, healthcare conditions in rural areas are going to improve, rural consumers will have more disposable income than they did in the past.
• The rationale behind this argument is that food, shelter and primary education are virtually free in rural areas, whereas a substantial chunk of income in urban areas is spent on these necessities.
• According to estimates of the planning commission, village dwellers have started spending 12% of their household income on healthcare.
• This has resulted in a spurt of Pharma companies targeting this market.

Road Ahead• The rural markets are the next volume drivers for the pharma
companies.• In order to realise the full potential of the rural markets, we
must:– create demand by increasing awareness, education and access,– mobilize primary care givers and paramedics through health and
diagnostic camps,– bring specific product solutions to the market, and use local
languages,– innovative distribution channels– make products affordable through appropriate pricing and packaging
