India has second highest population in the world but its healthcare facilities have an average reach to lower class people partially because of the cost involved and partly because of the awareness level. The middle and upper class people could take advantage of the medical facilities spread across the nation.

However, in last 5 decades, government, private and voluntary sectors have built up a vast health infrastructure and manpower at primary, secondary and tertiary care. There are a number of medical and para-medical institutes, which turn out professional manpower to run these facilities. A lot of these also go to Europe and mid-East and take up employment there.

Most of the private hospitals have the facilities of pathology labs, physiotherapy, X-ray, Ultrasound and other scanning, surgical operations, ENT and pediatrics. Certain other hospitals have specialized facilities as for heart and coronary diseases, etc.
