As far I know, In India there is no free medical facility available. The poor people depend on government hospitals but they need to pay for the treatment and medicine nothing is free. I think they give free contraceptive pills and free surgery to stop pregnancy. But the conditions of Government hospitals are pathetic. In some govt. maternity hospitals women are lying on the floor due to lack of bed, around 34 new born died in one month because of some infection from the labor room. It cost 34 babies lives for the Government to investigate the cause of death because all of them are poor people and don’t know how to react to the negligence of the Doctors/ hospital management.
Medical insurance is still alien in India, only the rich people bother take a Medical Insurance. Private hospitals are expensive but majority of people go to pvt. Hospitals and pay from their pockets.
