The Indian government has taken several initiatives to improve public healthcare in the country. Here are some of the policies and measures taken:

• The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) launched in 2005 aimed to provide accessible and affordable healthcare to people living in rural areas.
• The Ayushman Bharat scheme launched in 2018 aims to provide financial protection to poor and vulnerable families by giving them free access to medical care and hospitalization.
• The Janani Suraksha Yojana (JSY) launched in 2005 provides financial assistance to women below the poverty line for safe deliveries and post-natal care.
• The National Health Policy 2017 aims to ensure the availability and accessibility of affordable healthcare services to all Indians.
• The Pradhan Mantri Swasthya Suraksha Yojana aimed to improve healthcare infrastructure and services in India, especially in underserved areas.
• The Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana provides health insurance coverage to below poverty line households.

These policies have contributed significantly towards improving public healthcare facilities and services in India. However, there is still a long way to go to achieve a high standard of healthcare for all citizens.
