Jaw-dropping statistics. In India:
Personal expenditure on health care is
75%, vs. 12-13% in UK & USA.
Public expenditure on health care stagnated
at around 1% of GDP.
Catastrophic OOP spending pushed 39–
million people into poverty.
20% of sicknesses go untreated due to lack of
money to see a doctor.
There are 5,583 persons per rural hospital
bed (Ministry of Health’s Central Bureau of
Health Intelligence (CBHI))

7. 
India has one of the highest proportions of
OOP spending on healthcare in the world.
According to the recently released ILO's World
Social Security Report 2010-11 , out-ofpocket spend in India was about 75%, putting
it in the bracket of such extremely poor
countries as Congo, Chad, Burundi, and
Guinea. OOP spending is just 13% in the
US, 12% in UK and 33% in Brazil.

8. 
The private sector accounted for about 59%
of all hospital stays in 2004, and for 82% of
all outpatient visits. According to the latest
National Sample Survey Organisation report
on this subject, per person spending on
health was Rs 242 by the government and Rs
959 by private means, that is, families. The
latter is called out-of-pocket (OOP) spending.
