large number of doctors, many of them providing specialized services. There are hospitals and
nursing homes that are privately owned. There are many laboratories that do tests and offer
special facilities such as X-ray, ultrasound, etc. There are also shops from where we buy
medicines. As the name suggests, private health facilities, patients are not owned by the
government. Unlike the public health services, in private facilities, patients have to pay a lot of
money for every service they use in India. Private services are concentrated in urban areas, the
cost is also high. Some private services encourage incorrect practices to earn more.
