National Business Register and Implication for Healthcare Business

The six national census is expected to come with many interesting facts and it has been envisaged that the census will provide a National Business Register. It has been many times a complain that there is no database of the nursing homes running private business . So in this context , at least the small healthcare set ups would be listed and would give a clear picture about the un-explored sector by the consultancies. This as a first step could list the nursing homes and small clinics / procedures centres which have at least 10 employees.

The service sector in India is claimed to contribute 62.5 percent of the GDP . In this context the listing would make another step ahead for critical analysis of the following

- Total number of Small nursing homes

- Number of Healthcare workers in such hospitals

- Mapping of such small healthcare set ups across the country

- Population / area acting as a feeder center to such set ups

As a secondary analysis .. what kind of services these set ups provide, how good are the nursing homes to meet the need of people, referral pattern could be counted.
