All people, regardless of caste, race, religion, creed, age, or gender, have a right to education and health care, according to human rights laws around the world. Even the Indian Constitution has emphasised human rights through many advantages and rights, particularly in matters like healthcare and education. It has been noted that a large portion of the population in India suffers from a variety of health issues due to a lack of adequate healthcare services. In the healthcare system, there is a lot of emphasis on the health of women and children. In India, both the infant mortality rate (IMR) and the maternal mortality rate (MMR) are higher than they are in any other nations. Since independence, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has taken numerous actions after realising this. It has been discovered that there is an increase in disease and mortality in rural areas when compared to metropolitan ones. The cause is that there aren't enough medical facilities and inadequate transportation options to get to urban areas in times of health emergencies like pregnancy, childbirth, severe wounds, etc. The Department of Health and Family Welfare established Primary Health Centers (PHCs) in the majority of the communities after realising this.
