According to the new mandate, all the creatives of Health Care At Home to be rolled out across TV, print, outdoor, and digital will be conceptualised by McCann Health henceforth.

It has huge potential. We hope that this partnership will bring about the desired change in healthcare in India."
According to PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), India's home healthcare industry, which consists of home-based medical and home services worth $2 billion, is growing at 20 per cent annually. The sector, which is fast becoming an organised, technology-led industry with standards and protocols is booming, and has drawn the attention of entrepreneurs and investors alike.
The Noida-based home healthcare services provider Health Care At Home India (HCAH India) is a joint venture between the Burman family (the promoters of Dabur) and founders of the UK-based Health Care At Home. Until now, HCAH India was funded by its promoters, the Burman family (who own 65 per cent in the joint venture), Charles Walsh and Dr Gareth Jone (founders of Healthcare At Home, UK).
