India’s doctor-population ratio has improved significantly, reaching 1:811, which is better than the World Health Organisation’s prescribed norm of 1:1000. This improvement is based on the Health Dynamics 2022–23 report that considers 13.88 lakh allopathic and 7.51 lakh AYUSH doctors, assuming 80% of them are actively available for service. The strengthened healthcare workforce indicates progress in medical infrastructure and human resource planning. Additionally, government support through initiatives like the National Health Mission has contributed to addressing gaps in healthcare personnel across states, enhancing overall public health service delivery.
