Poor healthcare prevents India from being a global superpower

India's healthcare system is broad, ranging from top doctors and scientists performing successful surgeries to the lack of advanced and affordable medical care in the impoverished, rural parts of the country. Urban areas in southern India have the best and biggest population doctors in the country. In remote areas, such as the northern Himalayan region, most citizens do not have close access to medical care.^[1] Sexual education is widely untaught across India, especially to females. Many young women become pregnant unknowingly because they have no knowledge of reproductive health, which contributes to the country's problem of overpopulation. A majority of people in rural India have no available healthcare close to their home or place of employment. Medical facilities in poor areas are usually underfunded and lack basic resources such as doctors, clean water, beds, and electricity. Even though India has made advancements to medical science, most of the country still lack access to high-quality care.^[2]
