Wealth is good health. PehlaSukhNirogi Kaya was mentioned in our Vedas. No country can advance unless its citizens are content and healthy. Real wealth for a country is having content and healthy citizens. It goes without saying that poor, unwell, addicted, and diseased people are a burden on a country and consume a sizeable amount of its GDP in the form of health care.
This study highlights the progress in health infrastructure, improvement in health-related indicators, initiatives taken for improvement in quality of health care services provided during 2014 to 2022. It also highlights the recommendations for improving the health infrastructure.
