With such a large population in India and with the doctor to population ratio of 1:1800, the challenges of healthcare remain big and demanding. According to Madhav G Deo, as quoted in the Indian Journal for Medical Research https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3724242/ the desired ratio is 1:1000. And with the population growing rapidly, the number of doctors needed in India is expected to rise significantly.
