Relevant WHO report: https://www.who.int/hrh/resources/16058health_workforce_India.pdf https://www.who.int/hrh/resources/16058health_workforce_Indi... But I am not sure about the accuracy. There are other reports with similar or lower numbers. Wildly different experience depending on the state and part (South is good in comparison to North). There is a shortage of doctors despite everyone aiming for a medical degree. It is worse in rural areas so there are less qualified people treating others. Pseudoscience and pseudomedicine is a big industry too. Actors, news channels, babas, politicians, etc all encourage it. The most recent example of above is baba ram dev's covid cure: https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2020/aug/05/covid-19-immunity-booster-coronil-demand-at-10-lakh-packs-a-day-baba-ramdev-2179585.html https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2020/aug/05/covid-19... He promoted his pseudoscience on multiple news channels as a cure for covid. Ayush ministry (which is a branch of government to regulate/approve pseudomedicine) stopped him on some advertising basis so he rebranded the thing to covid immunity booster.
