Abstract: Health care is one of the largest sector in terms of revenue and employment. It comprises hospitals, medical devices, tele-medicine, medical tourism, health insurance and medical equipment. Health care is provided by public and private institutions. As the role of government is very much limited, private sector enterprises play a major role in health care. Entrepreneurship is closely associated with Business, technology and products. Social entrepreneurs are those who combine business practices with social service with the combined motives of service and profit. Social entrepreneurs play a great role in health care development and improvement, as government and market failed to meet basic health needs. Social entrepreneurship is the key to unlock the potential in health care sector to ensure huge benefits to disadvantaged sections and underprivileged. This paper is an attempt to analyse the opportunities for social entrepreneurship in health care development and examine existing social entrepreneur models in health care delivery at global level and national level. It also throws light on some of the social entrepreneurs work in health care development.
