India's population in 2021 as per World Bank is 1.39 billion.[1] Being the world's most populous country and one of its fastest-growing economies, India experiences both challenges and opportunities in context of public health. India is a hub for pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries; world-class scientists, clinical trials and hospitals yet country faces daunting public health challenges like child undernutrition, high rates of neonatal and maternal mortality, growth in noncommunicable diseases, high rates of road traffic accidents and other health related issues.
The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[2] finds that India is fulfilling 80.5% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income.[3] When looking at the right to health with respect to children, India achieves 92.1% of what is expected based on its current income.[3] In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves only 85.6% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income.[3] India falls into the "very bad" category when evaluating the right to reproductive health because the nation is fulfilling only 63.7% of what the nation is expected to achieve based on the resources (income) it has available.[3]
