[Jobs Roundup] Take a stab at India’s healthcare problems with these healthtech startup openings
As Indian startups in the healthtech sector continue to grow, they are making healthcare more affordable and accessible, solving the gaps in the system.
Winston Churchill once said that healthy citizens are the greatest asset any country can have.
A healthy population can make positive contributions to the economy, and India’s fast-growing middle-class population is demanding more affordable and accessible healthcare. Access is one major problem.
This is reflected in National Health Profile data of 2018, which shows there is one allopathic government doctor available for 11,082 people in India, while the recommended ratio is one for a thousand people.
While India is witnessing a thriving startup community and it is stepping in to fill the gap, innovations in the healthcare sector and attention given to them are comparatively less. But there are some that are setting the trend in preventive healthcare, analytics, pathology, or encouraging a balanced lifestyle.
With more developments to come, the healthtech segment is at a promising stage and holds great potential to solve India’s crucial healthcare problems. YourStory has curated a list of jobs that are up for grabs.
