Indian Healthcare system - SOLUTION

India currently spends 1 per cent of GDP on health provision (other countries on average spend 6 per cent), and 800
million Indians have little or no access to modern health care.

70 per cent rural in terms of population distribution. This large section is also some of the poorest. Poverty, poor
nutrition and education, and lack of medical professionals form a very toxic Venn diagram. Even when the rural poor
move to cities, theyre still more likely than not to live in insalubrious conditions, and may find the best-equipped
hospitals inaccessible to them for financial reasons. Remedying this is beyond the remit of just doctors. It needs a joint
approach. In response to how to get dedicated doctors and nurses to live and work in rural areas, Dr. Devi Shetty of
Narayana Health sort of told me you dont. Instead, you set up colleges of excellence within rural areas, you make
medical education cheap, or free, that way local people train close to their own communities and will be more likely to
practise there.

The development economist Jean Drze described India as a world champion of social underspending. So the basic
necessities for social equity adequate public funding of high quality health care, education, infrastructure for
sanitation, water, housing must be prioritised. Its not optional.
