You should clarify your comment by mentioning what state and city you live in, how much you earn a year, and how many multiples that is of the average income in India, and in your state.
Healthcare in India is operated by the states; there is no national program. Care is not consistent. [0]
In India, can doctors provide food? I'm serious. 42% of Indian children are malnourished [1] - a frighteningly higher rate than the average malnourishment rate of sub-Saharan African countries.
This is but one figure representing India's overall healthcare system (or lack thereof), and unhealthy populace.

- piyush_soni 13y agoHealth care in India has a lot of issues, but it's affordable for most part. And if you read my reply to plaguuuuuu below, I wrote that it's still not good - but going the US way of insurance lobbying is not a solution either (because certainly, it's not working). Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who don't even have money to pay food, understandably they won't have money to pay for medicines. They get free government treatment in many cases (though no free food). There is a new Food Security bill passed late last year which is made to tackle those 42% undernourished children and other poor people. Implementation of that, in a populous country like India will take time. Poverty is a complex problem to solve.
