Explanation:
More public spending on healthcare. Period!
Most of the problems that Indian healthcare is facing currently is primarily due to low government spending on healthcare.
Let’s do a quick comparison on where we stand:
The amount India spends on public health per capita every year is Rs 1,112, less than the cost of a single consultation at the country’s top private hospitals–or roughly the cost of a pizza at many hotels. That comes to Rs 93 per month or Rs 3 per day. At 1.02 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP)–a figure which remained almost unchanged in nine years since 2009–India’s public health expenditure is amongst the lowest in the world, lower than most low-income countries which spend 1.4 percent of their GDP on healthcare, according to the National Source: National Health Profile, 2018
Health Profile, 2018, released by union minister for health and family welfare, JP Nadda, on 19 June, 2018.
India’s low public-health spending is one reason why patients turn to the private sector for healthcare. Indians are the sixth biggest out-of-pocket (OOP) health spenders in the low-middle income group of 50 nations, India Spend reported in May 2017. These costs push around 32-39 million Indians below the poverty line every year, according to various studies.
