In the last 75 years, India has made significant progress in the health sector. At the time of independence, the average life was just 28 years and it has now reached close to 70 years, he said.
India is well on the path to achieving the World Health Organisation-recommended ratio of one doctor per thousand population by 2024 and is increasing the number of hospital beds from 11 lakh to 22 lakh, NITI Aayog member Vinod Paul said on Monday. In the last 75 years, India has made significant progress in the health sector. At the time of independence, the average life was just 28 years and it has now reached close to 70 years, he said. "However, we are still far away from meeting the aspirations of people in terms of access to health services, and this remains a challenge. "We have taken a lot of steps to address these problems in the last six-seven years, and results are encouraging," Mr Paul pointed out at the online ''Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav'' discourse series of Department of Science and Technology (DST), New India @ 75, organised by the National Council for Science and Technology Communication and Vigyan Prasar.
