At what point in time does de-linking star doctors from administration & brands become imperative? What are the expectations on return on capital & profitability, considering the capital intensive nature of the business? Amid the recent addition of large multi specialty hospitals, what are the different approaches taken by corporate chain hospitals in creating doctor value propositions? Where is the industry moving in terms of raising money? When can we see exits happening? With too many deals happening in the hospitals segment, is consolidation the way forward?
