The Indian Healthcare Industry is growing at a rapid pace. There has been a recent increase in the adaptation of digital and data technologies by hospitals, medical colleges, done to improve healthcare and treatment outcomes.
Owing to this recent trend, many healthcare firms are getting attracted to the Indian Market. The famous Dutch information services firm, Wolters Kluwer is betting big on Indian healthcare Industry. The company gets about 70-80 per cent of sales in India from healthcare.
Helping in Diagnosis and treatment
Headquartered in Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands, Wolters offers clinical decision support to assist medical professionals to make the right decisions on diagnoses and treatment plans at the point of care delivery.

Experts from around the world can update the content on this app and provide valuable insights. This is helping doctors, medical colleges to get knowledge from all around the globe and update their medical practices.
Nursing Training
Nurses are an integral part of a healthcare institution. It is necessary to keep them abreast of the happenings in the medical field.
To address this, Wolter Kluwer also provides a nurse training app. The system is completely cloud-based and gets updated when the changes happen around the world.
Bridging Demand-Supply Gap
Government schemes like Ayushman Bharat are going to add more pressure to the health care system of India. There is already a huge demand-supply supply of almost all the healthcare resources.
