Insurance-driven health care threatens public health system, warns KSSP seminar

At a recent KSSP seminar, experts warned that the growing reliance on insurance-based health care could undermine India's public health system. They urged the government to increase health spending, enforce stricter oversight of private providers, and implement policies to lower out-of-pocket expenses for patients. The panel emphasized that stronger regulation is needed to protect public health outcomes.
