Provisional Health Insurance figures for India for the year ending March 2009 are now available.
At Rs. 6500 crores this shows an increase of 30%. I personally feel the figure should be higher because of the fact that various schemes implemented by the Government of India for below the poverty line persons were implemented during the year. We were talking of crores of persons being insured. If that was true then 5 crores persons would have added Rs 400 crores, may be the impact of cut throat competition has resulted in group health insurance policies being issued at very low rates.
Let us watch as updated statistics will become available in the coming months.
