Abstract: Healthcare procurement in India encompasses a complex interplay between cost containment, transparency, and quality improvement. This research examines procurement mechanisms in public and private hospitals, highlighting the transition from price-based purchasing toward value-based, sustainable, and technology-driven strategies. This paper analyses purchase and revenue data from 2022 to 2025 in the healthcare sector, with special attention to implants and consumables. Analytical methods employed include descriptive statistics, variance analysis, correlation studies, and regression modelling. The findings highlight notable growth in purchases and revenue, identify leading product categories, and examine the interplay between inflation and purchase behaviour.
