Innovative Business Models in Healthcare: A Comparison between India and Ireland

In India, the authors found a dearth of hospitals in the broad low-cost category, especially in rural areas where the majority of the population resides. In Ireland, there is a dearth of hospitals in the focused low-cost category. This lack of focused low-cost hospitals in Ireland suggests a possible gap that could conceivably be filled by a chain from India moving into the market.
