Advance Praise for "The Healthcare Gamechangers" "There is a richness in the telling of these stories of healthcare and wellness innovation that should not be missed by anyone who cares about the needed transformation of health systems and services. Ashwin Naik has done us a great service in explaining how modest shifts in thinking can produce major shifts in care and improvement in health." STEPHEN M SAMMUT, SENIOR FELLOW, HEALTH CARE MANAGEMENT WHARTON SCHOOL, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA "Ashwin Naik, a doctor and founder of a successful hospital chain, offers a vision of the future of healthcare that surprisingly features neither doctors nor hospitals. Rather this intriguing book offers compelling insights into what is wrong with today’s healthcare system and stories about the changemakers–and levers of change–that can lead to solutions." AL HAMMOND, FORMER HEAD OF GLOBAL HEALTH, ASHOKA INNOVATORS FOR THE PUBLIC, ARLINGTON, VA "In today’s world, healthcare unfortunately gets equated with ‘care of the sick’ and the tertiary care behemoths hog the limelight. In such a scenario, Dr. Naik’s book brings in a refreshingly different approach and takes a much broader view of healthcare, and rightly so. He has managed to cover a host of issues ranging from non-communicable diseases and primary care to palliative care and prevention. Even more admirably, he has scouted for some of the most insightful examples across the world and shared their recipe for others to emulate." RATAN JALAN, FOUNDER & PRINCIPAL CONSULTANT, MEDIUM HEALTHCARE CONSULTING, HYDERABAD, INDIA "Each profile is well-presented and thought-provoking, and the fact that they come from different parts of the world makes it even more interesting." SUNIL WADHWANI, FOUNDING TRUSTEE, WISH FOUNDATION, INDIA "We have to think differently to solve the healthcare issues of this century. Not only we have to decouple the relationship between investments and outcomes, but also look for non-linear growth when it comes to providing care. I believe Dr. Naik has summed it up very well in the 4 ways in which we can achieve both. This book is a must for everyone who wants to improve care outcomes not only in India, but across the world."
