Abstract

This article discusses the challenges faced by the Indian
healthcare system in achieving equality, equity, and
justice. I aim to highlight the shortage of doctors in
rural areas, which results in patients seeking treatment
from unqualified practitioners. The lack of resources
and infrastructure in government hospitals and
healthcare centers exacerbates the problem. This article
calls for collaboration between the government, medical
fraternity, and the public to improve the situation,
increase the healthcare budget, and work
collaboratively towards a prosperous and healthy
nation. In conclusion, there is potential for
improvement, and I urge stakeholders to stop the
blame game and work together for the advancement of
the nation
