Healthcare in India
A GRIM REALITY
Over 1.25 million children die annually in India.
Diseases such as dengue fever, hepatitis, tuberculosis, malaria and pneumonia continue to plague India
58% of children have not completed their immunization schedule and 14% have not received a single vaccine
48% of all children have stunted growth due to malnutrition.
45% Indian women are married before they turn 18 resulting in early pregnancies, higher morbidity and
mortality rates.
12 million girls were aborted in the last three decades in India
50% of all villagers have no access to healthcare providers.
Infrastructure like hospitals, roads, water and sanitation are lacking in rural areas
About 70 per cent of our doctors live in urban India, whereas 70 per cent of our citizens live in rural India.
Situation for Urban Slum dwellers is worse
Government spending on healthcare is grossly inadequate. 39 million people are forced into poverty because of medical expenditure.
For the underprivileged survival is a struggle – basic Healthcare doesn’t figure in the scheme of priorities
