Healthcare Services in India: An overview

India has the world’s largest number of medical colleges and number of medical professionals qualifying every year.
India is one of the world’s largest producers and biggest exporters of medicines.
There is a considerable increase in the healthcare facilities.
A large number of medical tourists visit India every year for treatment. They get treatment in world class and high-end hospitals.
On the other hand, there are some facts regarding the state of healthcare in our country that gives a completely different picture.
Almost half of the children are undernourished as they do not get adequate nutritious food to eat.
Very big amount of population is unable to get clean drinking water leading to water-borne diseases. Example diarrhoea, hepatitis and cholera.
Approximately, half a million people die from tuberculosis every year. Malaria is also another disease which has not been brought under control. Around 2 million people suffer from malaria every year.
Compared to urban areas rural areas suffer from lack of sound healthcare facilities. The ratio of qualified medical practitioners and population is very low there. People have to travel long distances to reach Health specialist and sometimes poor transport and communication facility cause delay in treatment and people die from minor or curable diseases only because they don’t get prompt and timely treatment.
Though, we have a large number of doctors, clinics and hospital, money, knowledge and experience we are unable to provide necessary Healthcare facilities to all people.
