| | MARCH 20174Consultants ReviewEditor's NoteThe Emerging Needs of Healthcare ConsultingNandini MukherjeeManaging Editor ConsultantsReviewHealthcare is an industry largely devoted to providing high-quality care to patients through experienced medical practices with knowledgeable physicians. On the one hand, the significant gap between `required' and `actual' healthcare infrastructure has driven significant investment into assets like hospitals and other facilities over the years. In turn, the growing availability and affordability of healthcare is spurring demand for other services like diagnostics, pharmacies, equipment etc. The growth story of the healthcare industry is also contributed by many non healthcare corporates and private equity firms infusing the much needed resources (capital and non capital). Due to the lower cost of procedures, India has become an attractive destination for medical tourism, and a base for clinical trials. With this development, healthcare companies are gearing up to effectively manage their operations. These companies are striving to address a host of different challenges posed by medical and scientific advancements. Developments in the field of genetics, information technologies, and nanotechnology are enforcing a more individualized approach to healthcare. To conquer this, healthcare companies are bringing in new methods to deliver better value for patients, fuel innovation and reduce the cost and complexity of operating systems. This is also influencing the sub sectors to adapt to the changing environment accordingly. To aid such healthcare organizations, healthcare consultants are making their share in helping them deliver greater value and higher quality of care at a lower cost. Understanding the same, we at Consultants Review bring to you a list of "25 Most Promising Healthcare Consultants" in this issue. The list features some of the prominent healthcare organizations that are contributing to the healthcare industry.
