It is known that India no longer thinks small but the ground reality reveals a big hiatus in claims and those exist.
In India the health and education sectors are the most blighted lot and what is seen, the private institutions do flourish on the pains of the government institutions in these two sectors.
In a country where medical colleges have grown day after day, but, in contrast there is huge shortfall of specialist doctors.
A statistics from the Rural Health Statistic(of the Union Health Ministry) shows that, there is a shortfall of more than 80% of the required surgeons and pediatricians in the 6,064 Community Health Centres across the country.
There is common perception that, it is made to be so because that allegedly panders to the interests of the so-called health sellers in the shape of private hospitals.
The report further points that, there is a shortfall of specialist doctors, including surgeons(83.2%), obstetricians and gynecologists (74.2%), physicians(79.1 %) and pediatricians(81.6%).
Besides that, the requirement of specialist doctors in the CHCs has gone up by 68.3 % whereas, there is only an increase of 26.3% in the actual number of in-position specialists.
Apart from the specialist doctors, there is also a shortage of female health workers and auxiliary nursing midwives, with up to 14.4 % of these posts lying vacant in primary health centres and sub-centers.
That leaves the entire gamut of the loads being passed on to the private health institutions across and with their existing strength they reap the benefits from the common men.
