Free for the poor. Others have to pay a nominal fee. I pay 2 rupees to see the doctor and 20-30 rupees for tests / medicines.
(100 rupees = 1 USD / Euro or 7 CNY approximately)

Yeah. But mostly it’s just a scam or low quality medicines. Thousands of government hospitals in india doesn’t have any facilities at all. Private hospitals are working to harvest money as much as possible. Even in government hospitals patients have to sleep in floor.
Also most of the health care products available in markets are not so healthy or even original products at all. People pay to buy things that destroy their health because of no other way.
They are saying india is improving by hiding all these ugly facts.
Btw, it’s really not so proud to say an indian. Never has been. 🫥

Yikes! Al the best, brother. Sorry to hear about this.
If it is any consolation, my country that used to call itself the home of the free is now being sold to tech bro oligarchs who hate it that the peasants have any freedom at all.
