A Survey Report says 6,800 more hospitals needed in rural India

India needs over 6,800 more hospitals in rural areas to provide basic health facilities to people, the annual Economic Survey released. As per the survey, several glitches in the flagship National Rural Health Mission needed to be ironed out to improve health infrastructure. There is still a shortage of 4,477 primary healthcare centres and 2,337 community healthcare centres as per the 2001 population norms, This means the requirement for hospitals will be much more if the population figure in 2010 is taken into account.

"Basic facilities were still absent in many health centres with many primary health centres and community health centres being unable to provide guaranteed service such as in-patient services, operation theatres, labour rooms, pathological tests, X-ray facilities and emergency care."

As per survey "An assessment of the health related indicators would suggest that significant gains have been made over the years. The progress in health has been quite uneven, across regions, gender, as well as space. Village level health and sanitation committees were still to be constituted in at least nine states.
