91热爆

The Indian healthcare system is one of the largest in the world, and is facing a shortage of doctors, the 91热爆's Rahul Tandon reports. Attacks on medical staff are adding to the problem.

He speaks to patients and workers in India. Kirsty Milward, a health organiser for a community group called Suchana, says science education in rural areas isn't good enough to encourage people to get into medicine.

Dr Sujata Datta, a gynaecologist in Kolkata, says fewer people are getting into medicine because doctors are being attacked over grievances. Doctors are also leaving for wealthier countries.
