RFP for conducting Human Resource Projections and Skill Gap Study for HSSC
The Proposed RFP :
Background and rationale:
India is poised to become the 3rd largest economy in the world by 2027 according to estimates by the IMF. The vision of “Viksit Bharat 2047” exemplifies this tremendous growth of the Indian Economy by aiming to become a developed nation with an estimated economy of US $30 trillion by the year 2047. India’s healthcare sector remains pivotal in achieving this ambitious vision, with the initiative aiming to improve the resilience of the healthcare system and infrastructure in the country as well as driving the development of the sector. India, with its vast and diverse population, requires a comprehensive assessment of its healthcare workforce, spanning systems like Allopathy, AYUSH (Ayurveda, Yoga and Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha, and Homeopathy), Community Health, and paramedical services.
Additionally, there is a pressing need to evaluate the workforce need in the medical devices delivery, be it supportive or life-saving devices. Given the growing global demand for skilled healthcare professionals, India has the potential to position itself as a global skill capital for healthcare, leveraging its diverse talent pool and infrastructure. To achieve this vision, it is essential to assess the current workforce distribution, skill gaps, and workforce requirements across different healthcare settings while understanding the care economy and healthcare value chain.
Objective of the project:
The aim of this study is to provide an in-depth analysis of the healthcare sector in India, focusing on various areas, workforce dynamics, market players, and future projections, all aligned with the vision of “Viksit Bharat 2047”. This study would identify workforce distribution, assess skill gaps, and propose actionable recommendations to strengthen healthcare workforce globally as well as in India in terms of healthcare settings as well as the medical device industry.
