of economies of scale.
 Dr. Shetty focused on the fact that 70% of India’s population
lives in villages but 70% of the country’s doctors lives in
cities. He therefore persuaded the Indian Space Research
Organization in Bangalore to provide satellite connections
that allowed NH to establish a telemedicine network
between city hospitals and villages.

11. Challenges India Face

population make effective healthcare delivery
especially challenging.
 The large rural population of India means that access
to healthcare is low, with less than one doctor per
1,000 people and 1.1 hospital beds per 1,000 people.
 Increasing the health resources of the nation requires
substantial investment. To achieve the target of two
beds per 1,000 population by 2025, an additional 1.75
million beds are needed.
