Health Care Maturing in the middle of the last century, the present healthcare system is actually a sick care system. We have made incredible advances in treatment and technology, but care delivery has remained much the same. It is still largely bricks and mortar where people who are sick or acutely ill come to be treated. It was never designed to deal with the huge growth of chronic disease, which now represents well over 80% of all healthcare spend.
The future of healthcare driven by an increasingly patient-centric approach, characterised by constant connectivity and enabled by technology. In the new paradigm, we will have to start looking at healthcare from the perspective of the patient. That is, we have to first help patients understand the drivers that impact their chronic condition better, so they can play a more active role in managing it. We have to get involved in health, rather than just treating sickness.
It is not just about telling them what to do, it is about truly engaging them, providing them with smart technology so they can closely monitor themselves. Patients will still need specialists with expert knowledge, but the patient and specialist will not need to be in the same space at the same time. Through a network of connected care, several experts will look at the case simultaneously. This would enable early diagnosis of health issues through constant monitoring, before they become more serious.
This will be normal practice within 10 years. The sheer size and scale of our country will attract investment in healthcare infrastructure, divided between increasing the reach and deployment of technology. Beds will increasingly move out of hospitals, which in turn will focus on diagnostics and treatment. In ancient India, Charaka the physician clearly outlined four ethical principles of a doctor
Friendship, sympathy towards the sick, interest in cases according to one s capabilities and no attachment with the patient after his recovery. He who regards kindness to humanity as his supreme religion and treats his patients accordingly, succeeds best in achieving his aims of life and obtains the greatest pleasures. In the Susruta Samhita, the doctors duty and obligations to the patient are stressed: The patient may doubt his relatives, his sons and even his parents but he has full faith in the physician. He [the patient] gives himself up in the doctor s hand and has no misgivings about him. Therefore, it is the physician s duty to look after him as his own son.
