India’s Healthcare Crisis: Basic Care Out of Reach. It’s painful seeing people skip doctor visits due to costs. India’s healthcare accessibility is crumbling, with rising prices and low public investment making basic care unaffordable. The last five years paint a stark picture.Medical inflation, at 14% annually, dwarfs wage growth . A ₹1 lakh procedure in 2024 could hit ₹1.4 lakh in 2025. 62% of healthcare costs are out-of-pocket, pushing 6.3 crore Indians into poverty yearly. Urban hospitalization averages ₹26,475, often more than monthly incomes. 43% of Indians fear they can’t afford care, and 20% skip treatments . Public health spending, at 2.1% of GDP (2022-23, up from 1.4% in 2016-17), lags the global 6% average. Rural areas, with 70% of the population, have 13% access to health centers and face growing doctor shortages.We need 5% GDP health spending, universal coverage, and telemedicine expansion. Healthcare is a right—let’s demand it.
