Hub and spoke model: making rural healthcare in India affordable, available and accessible

HSM has an innovative architecture that emphasizes optimal utilization of scarce healthcare resources in rural areas. HSM demonstrates that medical care can be provided to even the most rural areas while still utilizing modern procedures and equipment at a much more nominal cost to the end user. It also eliminates the need for unnecessary travel, and keeps costs low to medical facilities and patients alike. The model has the potential to create and sustain thousands of local jobs, both direct and indirect. The hope is that the review of the impact of the HSM in Indian health care will result in inquiries of a similar nature in the future.
