India's healthcare in critical condition: 4 out of 5 public health centers below par, reveals new Govt report

A recent Indian government self-assessment reveals that most public health facilities, including district hospitals and primary centers, fall short of essential standards. Only 20% meet benchmarks for infrastructure and resources, with 42% scoring below 50%. Initiatives aim to bring 70,000 facilities to standard within 100 days, backed by inspections and funding under the National Health Mission. This highlights urgent reforms needed to enhance healthcare nationwide, promising better services and equity in healthcare delivery.
