Question

How can you say that adequate healthcare is not available to all?

Answer 1

We can say without any doubt that adequate healthcare is not available to all in our country. The reason is that private services are increasing but public services are not. As a result, private services are mainly available to people. But these services are concentrated in urban areas and are very expensive. Poor people hardly can afford whenever there is an illness in the family, they either borrow money or sell some of their possessions to pay for the expenses. Thus, medical expenses cause great hardship for the poor. Therefore, they avoid going to a doctor unless it is very urgent.
It has been found that women are not promptly taken to a doctor. Their health concerns are ignored. Many tribal areas have few health centers and they do not run properly.
