Summary
Russia, India, China, and South Africa (BRICS; tinyurl.com/3s7uxnn) form a conglomerate of the world’s fastest-developing large economies. In the case of the HES, the model provides a platform for the exchange of useful health information, but it delivers the requisite diagnostic, medical, emergency services required by patients at a nominal charges.

The HES has alliances with pharmaceutical companies, insurance providers, medical service providers (e.g., hospitals and nursing homes), and educational institutions such as the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur for mentoring These partners help provide accessible and readily available quality healthcare at affordable costs. The development impact analysis considered four key aspects, the results for which are described in the subsections that follow:
