India has 1 doctor per 1700 people
Europe has 1 doctor per 300 people
India currently has 500,000 doctors when it actually needs 3 million(a shortfall of 2.5 million)
If we plan to fill the shortfall in the next ten years then we will have to create 250,000 doctors each year. From 35,000/yr to 250,000/yr(that's more than 7 times the current rate). I have not even considered the increase in pop in 10 years.
If india doesn't do something drastic in the next decades, finding a doctor will become like finding a leprechaun.
Credits should go to shiv@BR for creating a narrative out of ordinary data. He has more on the shortfalls on that thread. BRF - View topic - Know Your India
