The Secondary Care Surgeries Market in India is valued at USD 20 billion and is expected to reach nearly USD 30 billion by 2027. The major segments include Proctology, Urology, Laparoscopy, Ophthalmology, Cosmetic, Dental, etc. There are almost 44,000 private hospitals in India and only 10% of these are in the organized sector and mostly centered around Tier 1 Metros, thus preventing people in Tier 2 & 3 towns from accessing quality healthcare. 

Nikhil Bansal is the Founder of FirstCure Health. FirstCure Health aims to simplify the surgery experience by bringing the best surgeons with modern and safe procedures at affordable costs.

Patient behavior post covid opting for surgeries

Nikhil Bansal states, “FirstCure Health did not face any challenges during covid as we started after the 3rd wave of covid. In some cases, 10 - 20 % of patients were concerned about covid safety. But, it does not seem to be a concern anymore for patients. Besides, our hospitals follow covid protocol and are covid safe. This is one of the things we assure our patients as well.”

Motivational Message FirstCure Health

Nikhil Bansal says,” I truly believe in - Set The Foundation Right. The first 20 - 30 people will define the culture of the company. The first fundamental properties of the company will help it grow and sustain that growth. It is easy to have hyper growth by burning more money but to sustain that you need to grow by finding the right people. It takes a little longer to grow a company.”
