Indian healthcare system

India’s healthcare system is a mix of public and private providers. The government offers free or subsidized services through hospitals and clinics, focusing on primary and preventive care, especially for underserved populations. The private sector includes hospitals, clinics, and practitioners that provide specialized and private healthcare, often faster and more advanced. Patients can access a wide range of services, but affordability varies. The system faces challenges like resource disparities, access inequality, and uneven quality, but also has strengths in growing infrastructure, traditional medicine (Ayurveda, Yoga), and a large, innovative healthcare industry.
