Lucknow. The health system in India is going through a period of continuous change. While modern hospitals and new technologies are within the reach of people in cities, the lack of basic facilities is still felt in villages.

Yet in recent years, awareness has increased at both government and society levels. The number of primary health centers is being increased, and mobile health units have been started in many places, providing treatment to remote areas.

Schemes like Ayushman Bharat have given relief to the poor people. The treatment which used to be expensive earlier is now possible with government assistance.

“Earlier it was difficult to reach a doctor, now medicines are available in the village itself,” said a rural resident of Allahabad.

However, experts say plans alone are not enough — what is needed is trained staff, clean facilities and health education among the people.

The country is slowly progressing, and if this pace continues, India’s health system can reach new heights in the coming years.
