The Indian healthcare sector is faced with various challenges in its attempts to provide inclusive and equitable healthcare to all. Below are some current challenges faced by the sector:

• Insufficient public spending on healthcare
• Shortage of qualified healthcare professionals and infrastructure
• High out-of-pocket expenditure for patients
• Inadequate healthcare coverage for the rural population
• Low healthcare awareness leading to delayed treatment-seeking behavior
• Insufficient focus on preventive healthcare leading to higher disease burden
• Lack of standardization in healthcare services and quality control measures

These challenges have resulted in disparities in the availability and accessibility of quality healthcare services, with the burden being borne disproportionately by the marginalized sections of society. To address these challenges, the Indian healthcare sector needs to focus on improving public spending, strengthening healthcare infrastructure, increasing healthcare coverage and awareness, implementing standardized quality control measures, and prioritizing preventive healthcare.
