Abstract
- The article focuses on India's health care system which lacks funds and is overcrowded. The author sites the example of an Indian boy who has been shuffled around by a bureaucratic medical system for years before he can get a simple bladder surgery. An analysis of the country's medical system points to India's paradox which is that a country that is acquiring great wealth cannot seem to get the clean water, sewage and power infrastructure they need to keep their populace healthy.
