Reuters - PE Firms Push into India Healthcare Deals

Private equity funds quadrupled their investment in India's primary healthcare, betting the sick and ailing will stop seeing family doctors in often cramped and dingy quarters and check into modern chains sprouting up across Asia's No.3 economy, Reuters wrote. Goldman Sachs Group Inc, Warburg Pincus, Sequoia Capital and the Government of Singapore Investment Corp. are among investors that pumped $520 million into India's basic healthcare industry this year, compared with $137 million in 2011, according to Thomson Reuters data. Some analysts predict investment will surpass $1 billion in 2013.
