What are the main drawbacks of our health care system? 

Options

• Communicable Diseases

• Poor Management

• All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

Some of the shortcomings in Indian health care are as follows:

1. Unequal Distribution of Health Care Services:
   Health-care services are distributed unequally. Rural and urban places are also represented. Only one hospital serves the rural districts, which house 70% of the population. In addition, the doctor-to-population ratio might be as high as 1:2,000. This means that in Nigeria, there is just one doctor for every 2,000 people. Only half of the pharmacies are open.
