It has been a transparent scenario of how aware Gujaratis are now about their health. Gujarat’s real wealth lies in the fitness hidden within.
Since 2020, the healthcare industry has been hit hard. Overwhelmed, tired, and exhausted, these COVID-19 warriors faced a significant financial downturn. Hospitals and clinics were running out of stock, there were delays in government funding, and healthcare workers were working day and night, unsure if they would ever be paid or if they would even make it to the next week without catching the virus; it was a blessing to see your family after 15 days of quarantine, for some, didn’teven have a chance to do that.
2021 brought new sunshine and a new day for the country and our state. The healthcare system wasrevolutionized when India became one of the first nations to administer vaccines for Covid 19. And since then, even the people have made sure there is no looking back, realizing how “precaution is always better than cure”
Here, ripping off the band-aid, Gujpreneur brings you an insight into how the business is running & its effects of their patient’s lives.
It all started from
“Hello, Saheb vaat thase be min?”
The word we are looking for is “Tele medicine”. Post-pandemic, there was a surge of 300% in online consultations. Cough, cold, normal pain, dental pain- everything can be dealt with over the phone, or Zoom call with mere analgesics. The method of consultations was difficult to adopt & understand. However, it was easy to apply. Paytm & G pay made lives easier with just a tap. One phone consultation and there you earn 500rs with just a tap. Now even more. The healthcare business has been evolving every year and post-pandemic, it joined hands with technology. Be aware of the quacks though!
Where Gujarat is concerned, in Ahmedabad the elite people or what we call SO-BO (South Bopal) clients found this to be a blessing since most of the renowned health services are served in the middle of the city. It was a boon for those who cannot travel, or those who are living out of the state who want to stick with their provider.
Saheb to USA thi avya che!!
Medical tourism was the second part to look upon which has played a pivotal role in boosting the economy. Living abroad, no matter how much Tylenol you get, pain is only relieved by that one name “DOLO”.
@IndianMedTourism has been musical in showcasing Gujarat’s healthcare infrastructure globally. Specifically for dental treatments. International patients fly to the state for surgeries, treatments, extractions & majorly now, Implants. Dental Implants cost a sum which becomes affordable when you earn in a higher currency! We all become swadesies when we fall sick, Ghar yaad aa hi jata hai!
With many Health & wellness clinics opened Gujarat is truly becoming all about healing.
Vibing with AI
Gujarat’s health industry is obsessing over AI & Robotics today. From diagnosis to even performing surgeries, diagnostics are changing the way healthcare is being delivered. The policies changed from being proactive over being reactive. The forward-thinking approach has taken the service par level. We have Apollo Hospitals whichhas given first digitally powered patient smart rooms. It includes voice assistants, automated surveillance and much more.
On the contrary, the expansion of the service has also raised concerns about the increase in the cost of the service. Hospitals that promise to provide the best health care in the town charge tons for the same. Hence, only the ones with their pockets full to afford it.
Having members playing in the field, Gujpreneur suggests looking over whom to seek help with. Cause humane or AI, every approach has its pros & cons.
Hand in hand- Your Pharmacy & Health
For the bright future of your health, playing the most important role after your health provider is your pharmacy. The businesses go hand in hand as after the consultation & care, what a doctor gives is medicine. The state is already leading in health tourism. Also, Indian medicines have proven to be the best of their effect over others. @healthTechIndia frequently has shared & set horizons. As the system goes digital, we shall look at how the system works with online consultations and processes as high as it can.
Purnaviram!!
Gujarat is becoming a powerhouse of Healthcare services. The innovations & startups are using it as a medium of development & technical progress in the field. It makes sure that Gujarat becomes number one state in India to be technically driven in the medium of health care. For more healthy updates, keep watching the feed of Gujpreneur.
