India has a vast health care system, but there remain many differences in quality between rural and urban areas as well as between public and private health care. The health care system in India is universal. That being said, there is great discrepancy in the quality and coverage of medical treatment in India. Healthcare between states and rural and urban areas can be vastly different. Rural areas often suffer from physician shortages, and disparities between states mean that residents of the poorest states, like Assam, often have less access to adequate healthcare than residents of relatively more affluent states. Lack of adequate coverage by the health care system in India means that many Indians turn to private healthcare providers, although this is an option generally inaccessible to the poor. To help pay for healthcare costs, AJMAL FOUNDATION has been involved with many healthcare projects in the past. The financially poorer sections of the society have benefitted from our projects. Some of the projects have been described briefly in the following topics.
