The Indian government has been making efforts to improve health facilities in rural areas since independence. Here are some key steps taken by the government to promote healthcare in rural India:

• The establishment of primary healthcare centers (PHCs) across rural India
• The launch of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) in 2005 to ensure accessible, affordable, and quality healthcare to rural populations
• The provision of financial incentives to doctors who serve in rural areas
• The introduction of telemedicine services to provide healthcare services in remote areas
• The implementation of various health schemes like Ayushman Bharat which provides free healthcare services to economically weaker sections of society
• Collaborating with NGOs and non-profit organizations to improve health infrastructure and healthcare delivery in rural areas.
• Setting up medical colleges and nursing institutes in rural areas to create a skilled workforce that can provide healthcare services to rural populations.

These measures have been helpful in reducing the healthcare gap between rural and urban regions and have improved access to healthcare for people living in remote areas.
