ASSOCHAM is celebrating the 75th year of our Independence. Over these seven and half decades, various health indicators have improved considerably in the country. Life expectancy at birth has increased, infant and maternal mortality have immensely reduced and many deadly diseases such as smallpox and polio have been completely eradicated.
However, still India has a low doctor to population ratio, at 1:1,511 against the WHO norm of 1:1,000. Also, lack of trained medical personnel, shortage and affordable cost of medicines, relatively few numbers of quality hospitals and Inadequate infrastructure, health insurance coverage, limited access to health facilities, lack of awareness regarding hygiene are the key challenges to provide quality healthcare in India.
Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), Ayushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (AB PM-JAY), Ayushman Bharat-Health and Wellness Centres (AB-HWC), Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana (PMSSY), Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Janaushadhi Pariyojana (PMBJP), Medical Education are some of the key schemes which are launched by Government of India which aim to make healthcare affordable and accessible to all, aligning with Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3 – ‘Good Health and Well-Being’ for all.
