Health is a defining concern in public policy discussions in every mature society, often mandating the deployment of enormous populations. Inequalities in health, access to health care, and the quality/cost of treatment contribute to a nation's economic well-being, given a current biological understanding of health and illness. Health insurance covers all clinical quality, not only medical treatment. There cannot be a sole emphasis on publicly financed health care but also on incentives and disincentives for self-care and treatment funded by private individuals to recover from sickness. In countries such as India, where private out-of-pocket expenditure dominates health care expenses, the resulting repercussions are sure to be regressive. At its core, the healthcare system is viewed as general welfare. Consequently, its demand and supply cannot be determined by the market's invisible hand. Vulnerable people should be prioritized, such as children, women, and the elderly. The disparity in health status among rural and urban regions and across states is well established. As one age, inequalities between urban and rural areas grow more prominent, with a five age gap becoming more evident. Apart from the battle for survival, rural villages are infamous for their lack of access to almost every community service. The prevalent practice of female feticide is expected to exacerbate the disparities among rural and urban children. This paper discusses the present Indian health system. The research will concentrate on the health system and its prospects, including its problems and concerns.
