The country's healthcare sector has come under the competition watchdog's radar.

The Competition Comission of India is set to appoint an external agency to carry out a study on the practices in the healthcare sector, its Chairman, Ashok Chawla, said on Wednesday.

"We are doing a health sector survey. Other authorities around the world have already undertaken it. What that survey throws up, such as what are the practices in the sector, which could possibly be anti-competitive, we will take it forward, " Chawla said.

He was speaking here at the sidelines of the 41st Skoch Summit.

The watchdog is yet to appoint the agency to carry out the survey.
