Abstract The Indian healthcare system embodies a dual structure characterized by an accessible but quality-compromised public sector and a high-cost private sector often criticized for exploitative practices and inequitable access. This study investigates systemic challenges hindering equitable healthcare delivery, emphasizing managerial interventions involving Human Resources Analytics (HRA), Supply Chain Management (SCM) professionalization, and cost accountability mechanisms. Drawing on empirical data and recent literature, it highlights the persistent preference for private healthcare despite affordability challenges, revealing inefficiencies and infrastructural deficits in public services. The paper advocates for integrating HRA to facilitate workforce optimization and digital transformation, professionalizing SCM to enhance commodity availability and reduce wastage, and adopting advanced costing methods like Activity-Based Costing (ABC) and Time-Driven
Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) to improve financial transparency and pricing accuracy. The research underscores the need for a holistic, data-driven managerial approach combined with robust regulatory frameworks to achieve operational efficiency, financial sustainability, and equitable healthcare access across India. The findings have significant implications for policymakers, healthcare managers, and educators seeking to bridge the efficiency divide in a rapidly evolving sector.
