Medical Education As a Career in India - A Goldmine of Opportunity

So, there you have it! Being a doctor in India is what is needed. All macroeconomic numbers are on your side.

Trends and industry facts:

* Today, the Indian healthcare industry is estimated at $35 billion and is slated to grow to $75 billion by 2013.

* To meet the burgeoning demand for healthcare professionals in the country, India is likely to need at least seven million more.

* This is way ahead of retail which stands at 2 million and IT enabled services at 5 million.

* On the other hand, medical professionals will need to serve the medical needs of 1.2 billion by 2015.

* 180 recognized medical colleges in India produce close to 27,000 graduates every year. Approximately, 24,000 doctors are registered with the Medical Council of India (MCI) into the practice every year. This, as is evident, is acutely short of the requirement. (MCI annual report 2006-2007)

* Even by a conservative estimate, India lags behind 0.2 million doctors and 0.5 million nurses currently. This does not even include paramedical and administrative personnel.

* In spite of the need for doctors and the expected growth of this industry, India severely lacks well-equipped training facilities even today.

* Lack of mandated standardization and regulation in the profession has resulted in over 90 per cent of healthcare being serviced by the unorganized sector.

* State wise, there is a big gap in the country between healthcare workers and population. In Uttar Pradesh, the number of doctors per lac population is 23 and the number of nurses per lac population is 9.24. As against this, in Kerala, the number of doctors per lac population is 56.72 and the number of nurses per lac population is 78.41.
