The Indian Health care industry is progressing at a rapid pace and is hoped to become a US $280 billion industry by the year 2020. Even so, approximately 1 million Indians die each year because of inadequate healthcare services and close to 700 million persons have no approach to specialist care.
There are broad gaps between the rural and urban population in its health care system. A staggering 70% of the population still lives in rural places and has no or limited access to hospitals and clinics. Around 80% of specialists live in urban places.
Improvement in health care infrastructure and services and ease of access to them is the mere way India can fight against the fatal diseases. For that to happen, government spending on healthcare must go up. Although, the state of affairs, as they are now, is not very motivating.
