The pandemic has laid bare the grim reality of India's healthcare after the country recently crossed the sombre milestone of 1 crore COVID-19 cases. The country spends just 1.29% of its GDP on healthcare and many public hospitals are running without any doctors. In 2013, the Manmohan government had set a target of increasing health spending to 2.5 percent of GDP by 2017. But statistics show that after the Modi government came to power in 2014, this goal remains a distant dream #India #healthcare #gonews
