Private sector is playing a significant role in health care system India. At present, private sector has proved much better than public sector in delivering quality health services. More than 70% of the hospitals in India are run by the private sector. 80% of out-patients and 46% of in-patients are handled by private sector. In 2001-02, there were more than 13 lakh medical enterprises employing 22 lakh people. 80% of them are single person owned and operated by one person occasionally employing a hired worker. Since the 1990s, owing to liberalisation measures, many non-resident Indians and industrial and pharmaceutical companies have set up state-of-the-art super specialty hospitals to attract India's rich and medical tourists.
