The progress in the agricultural, industrial and many other sectors, including the information technology, has been phenomenal in recent times. But the same cannot be said about healthcare. In the area of good health care, which is the underlying force in any civilized society, the progress has been only marginal. The reason can be attributed to the population, which is growing in geometrical progression, thus posing a continuous challenge. The absence of private investment and extremely limited funding by government  is another cause. The need to raise the Indian Health Standards to better levels was realized and emphasis was laid on the super-specialty and multi-specialty hospitals. The participation of the government proved to be very minimal and hence came to the light, the concept of Corporate Hospitals.
