• India is one of the fastest growing nations with
  an annual GDP of 7.5 percent and will be the
  planets most populous nation by 2050. Focus on
  Healthcare Can Help India Become a Superpower, as
  its domestic consumption (currently the sixth
  largest economy in the world with a population of
  1.4 billion,) will be worth 6 trillion by the
  year 2030. It is the worlds largest democracy,
  on its way to tremendous economic and social
  transformation, and will see fast growth. With
  all its challenges, India may soon attain the
  status of the worlds third largest economy and
  subsequently become a global superpower.

• Why India Must Focus on Healthcare
• For India to attain the status of a global
  superpower, it must ensure that it achieves
  Universal Healthcare for every citizen. Although
  it has achieved health targets such as polio
  eradication, theres still work to be done in
  improving access and affordability of healthcare.
  One out of three Indians has health insurance,
  and more than 60 percent of all healthcare spend
  in India is paid out of pocket, as compared to 12
  percent in the US. Indians are still struggling
  to afford healthcare services, and theres a
  shortage of infrastructure and skilled personnel,
  with seven doctors and seven hospital beds per
  10,000 people in India. To meet the necessities
  of the populous nation, there must be an overhaul
  of physical and human infrastructure. India
  already is facing the issue of non-communicable
  diseases, which may form almost 70 percent of
  Indias disease burden by the year 2030. To
  prevent this from happening, India must focus on
  early detection, preventive healthcare and spread
  awareness on the importance of physical activity
  and healthy lifestyles.

• India must also work on lessening pollution
  levels in all of its major cities (nine of the
  worlds ten most air-polluted cities are in
  India). Urban congestion may also hamper the
  quest for a healthy future, as there are more
  houses than clean water bodies. India can achieve
  its healthcare goals by expanding its healthcare
  services, infrastructure, awareness initiatives
  and provision of affordable insurance. Both the
  private and public sector must put in efforts to
  improve the health and wellness of the nation.
  The introduction of initiatives like Ayushman
  Bharat is a step in the right direction and can
  take India towards a healthier future, through
  better healthcare coverage. To make better
  healthcare a reality, healthcare infrastructure
  must be in place, be it primary, secondary or
  tertiary healthcare infrastructure. Businesses
  must be responsible and promote health and
  wellness through their products, and ensure
  affordable access to fitness, healthcare and
  wellness services for the promotion of a healthy
  lifestyle.
• Policy efforts by governmental bodies and
  public-private partnerships can help India move
  towards a healthier and sustainable future.
  Skilled personnel, affordability and access to
  healthcare services in both urban and rural
  areas, an inclusive care culture and specialist
  care will help India meet the goal of
  Healthcare4all and help it become a global
  superpower.
