摘要：

India faces several challenges in healthcare such as improving access, affordability and quality. India's health achievements are low in comparison to the country's income level. The health care system is seriously broken despite the existence over many decades of primary, secondary and tertiary health centers. The objective of this paper is to investigate the challenges faced by India in addressing the healthcare needs of its people especially maternal and child health. The affordable healthcare trend in India pioneered by Aravind Eye Care is now innovatively taken forward by Lifespring Hospitals and few others. They are adopting various innovative practices by adopting optimum asset utilization, asset light strategy and many more. The paper also highlights the role of secondary care hospitals in making affordable healthcare for all Indians a reality.
