Your hospital. Your doctor. Your diagnosis. All quietly owned by global capital.
India's healthcare system is being bought piece by piece-hospitals, pharma companies, insurance players, diagnostic labs. The buyers are not Indian. And their bottom line is not your health.
In The Silent Syndicate, award-winning investigative journalist Ameer Shahul exposes how the behemoths of global finance have staged a silent takeover of India's most vital sector.
Inside this book:
- How is big finance systematically acquiring Indian hospitals, pharma companies, insurance players and diagnostic labs?
- Why do healthcare costs keep rising-and who is really profiting?
- How is India's regulatory framework failing to keep pace with foreign capital flows?
- What is the philosophical shift that has moved the patient out of the centre of healthcare and replaced them with capital?
- What does this mean for India's long-term healthcare sovereignty?
This book is for you if:
- You have ever questioned why healthcare in India costs what it does
- You follow Indian public policy, economics or investigative journalism
- You work in healthcare, finance or public health
- You believe access to healthcare is a right, not a commodity
Urgent, meticulously researched and impossible to ignore, The Silent Syndicate is essential reading for anyone who has wondered who is really running India's healthcare system-and why.
