Hospitals eye AI, specialty care as expansion moves beyond metros

Deloitte India Hospital Survey FY27 Outlook forecasts 10-15% sector growth in FY27 driven by insurance coverage and tertiary care demand.

Hospitals are investing in AI, cybersecurity, electronic health records, oncology, robotic surgery, and organ transplantation.

% of hospital executives prioritize expansion into Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities to capture rising insurance-led demand.

Joydeep Ghosh, Deloitte South Asia, says AI is moving from experimentation to execution with tangible benefits in documentation and analytics.

Shortage of skilled healthcare professionals and regulatory pressures may slow benefits reaching patients.
