Journal Article
India still struggles with rural doctor shortages
2015
Overview
The incident highlights the poor state of rural health care in India, a system blighted by lack of access to health-care facilities, shortages of doctors and paramedic staff, and the predominance of untrained private practitioners as the first point of care. Indian medical education is geared to train doctors to work only in tertiary care and specialised hospitals, so these areas become the primary professional aspiration of health workers, points out Vikram Patel, professor of international mental health at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK.
