What are the major challenges faced by India's health infrastructure

Discuss the major challenges faced by India's health infrastructure and the steps taken by the government to address them.
The major challenges faced by India's health infrastructure include inadequate funding and resources, shortage of healthcare professionals, poor health education and awareness, and inadequate access to healthcare facilities in rural areas. To address these challenges, the government has taken several steps, including increasing budgetary allocations for healthcare, promoting public-private partnerships, launching healthcare schemes for rural areas, and increasing the number of medical colleges and seats. The government has also launched various awareness and prevention programs such as immunization programs and campaigns for reducing tobacco and alcohol consumption and promoting healthy lifestyles. Additionally, telemedicine and digital health initiatives have been launched to increase access to healthcare facilities in remote areas. Despite these efforts, India's health infrastructure still faces significant challenges and needs further investments and reforms to ensure access to quality healthcare for all.
