I had asked this question before also but perhaps I made some mistake. Anyway, here's the question -

Why are private health care facilities concentrated in Urban areas and not in Rural areas?

Hi Shhruti,
 
Here is your answer.
 
Effects of social and economic inequality on health of a society are profound. In a large, overpopulated country like India with its complex social architecture and economic extremes, the effect on health system is multifold. Unequal distribution of resources is a reflection of this inequality and adversely affects the health of under-privileged population. The socially under-privileged are unable to access the healthcare due to geographical, social, economic or gender related distances. Burgeoning but unregulated private healthcare sector makes the gap between rich and poor more apparent.
 
Hope you have got your answer.
 
Good Luck!!
