Abstract
By dint of changing the lenses of observation in healthcare, the plethora of issues painted in this paper constitutes the source of inspiration from his author. The motivation derives from an assignment tailored to a thousand words essay on the dot inclusive of everything in which the author could not explore nor investigate the core of this topic to its fullest. Beyond the narrow scope designed and requested of him in class, this paper is a rewrite of an assignment one would argue but it is in fact a wider scope powered by the desire of his author to share his view with a larger community in the body of knowledge. It can therefore be described as a research article or a practical case study with review of available literature where observation is considered as a methodology of research. Its findings contribute in addressing the hot topic of the future of healthcare in light of technological breakthroughs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) in the emerging markets. While the paper calls upon physicians, health care organisations, the Ministry of Health in the emerging markets and the industry experts at large to prepare for this change – each in their respective areas of expertise, it does not stand between any theories and should not be viewed as such.
