The Government, i.e. public healthcare system comprises limited secondary and tertiary care institutions in key cities, district hospitals, community health centres/Rural hospitals. Basic healthcare facilities are provided through primary health centres (PHCs) and Sub-centres in rural areas. The private sector owns majority of secondary, tertiary care hospitals with a major concentration in metros, tier I and tier II cities and urban areas. Private sector medical facilities are growing faster than the public sector.
