Patients should have access to more than one primary healthcare provider
In the year 1947, when India became a newly independent country the life expectancy in the country was 32 years. Today life expectancy in India is 65 years. The dramatic rise in life expectancy in India is the result of innovation in healthcare. As a matter of fact, innovation in healthcare is the reason that more people across the world today live significantly longer than they did a century ago.
However, while significant gains have been made in healthcare services in India much still need to be to bring the quality of healthcare in India at par with global standards. Consider that while life expectancy in India is an impressive 65 years, in many developed countries an average person lives nearly 20 years longer than an average Indian does today. Also, the infant mortality rate in India at 50 deaths per 1000 births is unacceptably high. Only by innovating in the sphere of healthcare can more Indians expect to live longer and take better care of their families.
