The Indian people have seen their salaries increase and the elderly population has grown.
This has driven a healthcare industry there which over the last five years has seen a 12% increase each year.
Even though the health care industry is booming, it is not keeping up with the needs of it's people, with much of the current health care industry being poorly staffed and supplied and with a very low efficiency rate.
The mortality rate, just attributed to inadequate health care, is about one million people per year.
Most of those who die are the women and children.
Exacerbating the issue concerns where the specialists choose to practice.
The bulk of them are in the urban areas which leaves the rural areas short on medical specialists.
Also, there are very limited numbers of available hospital beds, in India there is 1 bed for every 2000 people, most countries have 4 beds for every 1000 people.
Healthcare in India is not handled universally, it's taken care of by the state or territory of residence.
This causes lack of efficiencies throughout the country.
In the urban areas the health insurance and healthcare are more efficient, but they have the least need for care.
The rural areas are needful of more abundant and efficient healthcare services.
With the reduced amount of healthcare in significant portions of India, the risks of spreading disease is a reality.
Since the world is so mobile it is possible to move health issues to another part of the globe in a short amount of time.
This makes it essential that there is focus on all areas of the world for healthcare in order to protect the worlds population.
