The Lancet has just released India: Towards Universal Coverage, a valuable series of papers which “reveal the full extent of opportunities and difficulties in Indian healthcare, by examining infectious and chronic diseases, availability of treatments and doctors, and the infrastructure to bring about universal health care by 2020.”

Visit the Lancet to read the papers and listen to Pam Das’s commentary on the unique challenges of implementing universal coverage in the world’s second most populous country.
