1.3 HEALTH CARE INDUSTRY
The healthcare sector is the sector of the economy made up of companies that specialize in
products and services related to health and medical care. The healthcare sector includes
publicly-traded companies that power all dimensions of the healthcare industry. Examples of
these companies include, but are not limited to, biotechnology companies, health
insurance providers, pharmaceutical companies, and companies that manage clinics and
hospitals. Companies that produce professional and home health products (for example,
blood-pressure monitors, Elastoplasts, Orthopaedic devices, and surgical supplies) are also
included in this sector. It comprises of providers of diagnostic, preventive, remedial, and
therapeutic services such as doctors, nurses, hospitals and other private, public, and voluntary
organizations. It also includes medical equipment and pharmaceutical manufacturers, health
insurance firms. The modern health care sector is divided into many sub-sectors, and depends
on interdisciplinary teams of trained professionals and paraprofessionals to meet health needs
of individuals and populations. The health care industry is one of the world's largest and
fastest-growing industries. Consuming over 10 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of
most developed nations, health care can form an enormous part of a country's economy. The
health care industry is typically divided into several areas.
The sector comprises hospital and allied sectors that include:
a. Medical care providers that includes physicians, specialist clinics, nursing homes and
hospital
b. Diagnostic service centres and pathology laboratories
c. Medical equipment manufacturers
d. Contract research organizations and pharmaceutical manufacturers
e. Third party support service providers
This third party involves activities of, or under the supervision of, nurses, midwives,
physiotherapists, scientific or diagnostic laboratories, pathology clinics, residential health
facilities, or other allied health professions, e.g. in the field of optometry, hydrotherapy,
Medical massage, yoga therapy, music therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy,
chiropody, homeopathy, chiropractics, acupuncture, etc...

1.3.1 Healthcare Industry in India:
Healthcare in India features a universal health care system run by the constituent
states and territories of India. The Constitution charges every state with "rising of the level of
nutrition and the standard of living of its people and the improvement of public health as
among its primary duties".
The National Health Policy was endorsed by the Parliament of India in 1983 and
updated in 2002.However, the government sector is understaffed and underfinanced; poor
services at state-run hospitals force many people to visit private medical practitioners,
Government hospitals, some of which are among the best hospitals in India, provide
treatment at taxpayer expense.
Most essential drugs are offered free of charge in these hospitals. Government
hospitals provide treatment either free or at minimal charges. For example, an outpatient card
at AIIMS (one of the best hospitals in India) costs a onetime fee of rupees 10 (around 20
cents US) and thereafter outpatient medical advice is free. In-hospital treatment costs depend
on financial condition of the patient and facilities utilized by him but are usually much less
than the private sector.
For instance, a patient is waived treatment costs if he is below poverty line. Another
patient may seek for an air-conditioned room if he is willing to pay extra for it. The charges
for basic in-hospital treatment and investigations are much less compared to the private
sector. The cost for these subsidies comes from annual allocations from the central and state
governments.
Primary health care is provided by city and district hospitals and rural Primary Health
Centres (PHCs). These hospitals provide treatment free of cost.
Primary care is focused on Immunization, prevention of malnutrition, pregnancy, child birth,
postnatal care, and treatment of common illnesses.
The Indian healthcare market is one of the prominent contributors to the country’s
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) having attracted large number of players- domestic as well as
International during the past few years. According to a report, The Indian healthcare market
is currently estimated at US$103 billion and is expected to reach US$120 billion by 2015 and

1.3.4 INDUSTRY VOLUME:
The healthcare equipment sector attracted 8.8 per cent of the total investments in
terms of deal value with an aggregate of US$249.01 million. The hospital and diagnostics
centre in India received Foreign Direct Investment(FDI) worth US$ 1,597.33 million, while
drugs & pharmaceutical and medical & surgical appliances industry registered FDI worth
US$ 10,318.17 million and US$ 622.99 million, respectively during April 2000 to March
2013, according to data provided by Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP).
The demand for hospital services has been consistently soaring in the country, with
every class of the society demanding better quality and standards of healthcare. Realizing the
continuous growing demand, many investors worldwide have expressed their keenness
towards investing in the Indian hospital service market. The country is making strides in the
right direction as evident from the 100% allowance of FDI in the hospital segment under the
automatic route, since January 2000. The World Health Organization estimates there are 9.2
million physicians, 19.4 million nurses and midwives, 1.9 million dentists and other dentistry
personnel, 2.6 million pharmacists and other pharmaceutical personnel, and over 1.3 million
community health workers worldwide, making the health care industry one of the largest
segments of the workforce.
The medical industry is also supported by many professions that do not directly
provide health care itself, but are part of the management and support of the health care
system. The incomes of managers and administrators, underwriters and medical malpractice
attorneys, marketers, investors and shareholders of for-profit services, all are attributable to
health care costs.

1.3.5 CURRENT SCENARIO:
The healthcare ecosystem in India is at an inflection point. While the outlook for the
healthcare industry is optimistic, there is a need to move towards an integrated healthcare
delivery system, which leverages technology and has the patient at its centre.
Growing population, increasing affordability, comparative cheaper treatment costs as
opposed to the west and medical tourism thereof, increased health insurance penetration,
increased patient awareness, out-of-the-box unconventional thinking by the healthcare
players for better operations, government opening up its arms to PPP and even providing tax
holidays will be the key factors to look out for which would drive the future of healthcare in
India Customers are growing more aware of their health needs, demand quick response, less
waiting times, and above all - demand nearness of the healthcare unit to them.
India presently has a bed deficit of approximately 30 lakh beds as per the WHO
recommendation of four beds per 1000 population. Considering even a 250 bedded hospital
on an average, the country would need 12000 hospitals in the near future. As almost 80 per
cent of this would be fulfilled by the private players, a huge rise in IPO's and premium
commanding players in the arena would flutter bringing in interesting times for the healthcare
industry.
Recent spurt in Public Private Partnership (PPP) projects, and thrust on quality by the
government sector and its demand (& mandate in some areas) on National Accreditation
Board for Hospitals (NABH) and ISO, a lot of consultancy business is abuzz with the projects
galore in the accreditation and Quality management Systems (QMS) field. India to its credit
already has one government hospital NABH accredited and many are in the pipeline. With
CGHS making NABH mandatory for care and hospitalization cost reimbursements, there is
hectic activity seen in hundreds of hospitals waking up to the long due need for quality
healthcare and applying for the coveted quality mark.
The trend is on a steep rise, and it is just a matter of time when the government
launches patient awareness on NABH quality in full swing. This would make the patient
demand at least an ISO QMS certified hospital if not NABH.

The healthcare industry is estimated at USD 22 billion. Estimated growth at 13 per cent
annually assures a return of 15-20 per cent for the healthcare providers. Healthcare sector at
present employs 4 million people directly and indirectly. Private healthcare market currently
estimated at Rs 690 billion (USD 14.8 billion). 85 per cent private sector
Establishments have less than 25 beds. Specialty and super specialty hospitals account
for 2 per cent of total institutes. Corporate hospitals constitute less than 1 per cent of all
institutes. Private sector accounts for 82 per cent of all out-patient visits. Private sector
accounts for 52 per cent of all hospitalization. The Indian healthcare industry, which
comprises hospitals, medical infrastructure, medical devices, clinical trials, outsourcing,
telemedicine, health insurance and medical equipment, was valued at US$ 79 billion in 2012,
and is expected to reach US $160 billion by 2017. The Indian healthcare sector is expected to
grow at about 15 percent year-on-year (y-o-y), on account of factors such as rapid growth in
infrastructure development, creation of demand for higher levels of healthcare, rising
awareness of end users, and launch of innovative insurance, reimbursement, and financing
policies.
The growth of the Indian healthcare sector is further driven by the 300 million strong
middle class populations with significant disposable income, which is likely to demand
superior healthcare services. The Indian healthcare industry is seen to be growing at a much
rapid pace than it was anticipated before and is expected to become a $238.76 billion industry
by 2020. A number of major players in the healthcare sector are actively participating in the
growth through expansion plans and putting in huge investments in the sector. According to
the Investment Commission of India, the healthcare industry in India has experienced
remarkable evolution of an added 12 percent per year during the last 4 years driven by a
number of factors such as increase in the average life expectancy and average income levels,
and rising awareness for health insurance among consumers.

At the behest of his father, in 1971, Dr. Reddy left behind a flourishing practice in
Boston and returned to India. On his return he found the medical landscape in the country
plagued by gaps in infrastructure, delivery and affordability. Things took a turn for the worse
when he lost a young patient who just did not have the means to go abroad for treatment. The
incident marked a cross road in Dr. Reddy's life and steeled his determination to get quality
healthcare to India. He set the blueprint to build India's first multi-specialty private sector
hospital.
Undaunted and unfazed by the obstacles faced, Apollo Hospitals opened its doors in 1983
and ever since nurtured a goal which read as "Our mission is to bring healthcare of
international standards within the reach of every individual. We are committed to the
achievement and maintenance of excellence in education, research and healthcare for the
benefit of humanity".
In the 30 years since, it has scripted one of the most magnificent stories of success
that India has seen. Not only is the Apollo Group one of the largest integrated healthcare
groups in the region, it also did successfully catalyze the private healthcare revolution in the
country. Apollo today has made every aspect of their lofty mission a reality. Along the way
the journey has touched and enriched 39 million lives that came from 120 countries.
Apollo Hospitals was the forerunner of integrated healthcare in Asia, as well as
globally. Today, the group's futuristic vision has ensured that it has been in a position of
strength at every touch point of the healthcare delivery chain. Its presence encompasses over
10,000 beds across 51 hospitals, more than 1500 pharmacies, over 100 primary care &
diagnostic clinics, 115 telemedicine units across 9 countries, health insurance services, global
projects consultancy, 15 academic institutions and a Research Foundation with a focus on
global clinical trials, epidemiological studies, stem-cell and genetic research.
Over the past three decades Apollo Hospitals' transformative journey has forged a legacy of
excellence in Indian healthcare. The Group has continuously set the agenda and led by
example in the blossoming private healthcare space.

One of Apollo's significant contributions has been the adoption of clinical excellence
as an industry standard. Apollo pioneered the concept - the group was the first to invest in the
pre-requisites that led to international quality accreditation like the JCI and also developed
centres of excellence in Cardiac Sciences, Orthopaedics, Neurosciences, Emergency Care,
Cancer and Organ Transplantation. Along with excellence the Apollo philosophy rests on the
pillars of technological superiority, a warm patent- centric approach, a clear and distinct cost
advantage and an edge in forward-looking research. Apollo's spectacular success rests on
sustained commitment and investments in each of these pillars.
The Group continues to break new ground in adopting new technology. From
leveraging new age mobility, to getting futuristic equipment Apollo has always been ahead of
the curve. Currently, the group believes in the tremendous potential of robotics and is
investing heavily in making it a real and robust option for all. Apollo pioneered Tender
Loving Care (TLC) and it continues to be the magic that inspires hope, warmth and a sense of
ease in the patients.
Apollo started out with the promise of bringing quality healthcare to India at a price point that
Indians could afford. The cost of treatment in Apollo was a tenth of the price in the western
world. Today as the group charts out its roadmap to take healthcare to a billion, the focus on
driving a strong value proposition remains constant.
Apollo's remarkable story has captured India's attention. For its service to the nation, the
Group was felicitated with the honour of a commemorative postage stamp bearing its name.
For his untiring pursuit of excellence in healthcare, Dr. Prathap C Reddy, was bestowed with
the second highest civilian award, the ‘Padma Vibhushan’, by the Government of India.
Recently Apollo Hospitals celebrated its 30th year. The Group, led by Dr. Prathap Reddy,
reaffirmed its goals and redefined their focus. With ambitious projects like Apollo Reach
Hospitals, a strong focus on preventive healthcare and an unabated commitment to nurture
excellence and expertise in healthcare, Apollo Hospitals envisions for a new horizon - a
future where the nation is healthy, where its people are fighting fit, and India emerges as the
preferred global healthcare destination.

3.1. FINANCE DEPARTMENT
Finance is regarded as the life blood of a business enterprise. This is because in the modern
money oriented economy. Finance is the one of the basic foundation of all kind of activity. It
is the master key which provides access to the entire source for being employed in
manufacturing and merchandizing activities. It has rightly been said that the business needs
money to make more money. However it is also true that money begets more money, only
when it is properly managed. Hence, efficient management of every business enterprise is
closely linked with efficient management of its finance.
Meaning of Business Finance:
In general finance may be defined as the provision of money at the time it is wanted.
However, as a management function it has a special meaning. Finance function may be
defined as the procurement of funds and their effective utilization. Some of the authoritative
definitions are as follows:
“Business finance is that business activity which is concerned with the acquisition and
conservation of capital funds in meeting financial needs and overall objectives of far business
enterprise.”
“Business finance can broadly be defined as the activity concerned with planning, rising,
controlling and administrating of the funds used in the business.”

Mc. Kinsey 7’s Framework
According to Mc Kinsey a company strategy is only one of the seven 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 in 1978. There are seven basic dimensions, which represent the core of managerial
activities. These are the levers which executives use to influence complex and large
organizations. Obviously there was a concerted 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 are
considered as the hard elements whereas shared values, skills, style and staff are the soft
elements.
