Future Potential and Challenges in India's Health System, With a Focus on Cancer Care

Abstract

People are going to get cancer at an alarming rate all over the world because of the 351-page World Cancer Analysis, which was made by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) (Stewart and Kleiues 2003). There will be 15 million new cases of cancer in India by 2020, which will put a strain on the country's health care system (Hyuna Sung). This is because the population is getting older in both developed and emerging nations, as well as because of recent trends in cigarettes and unhealthy living, which will lead to more people getting sick. Cancer has become a major public health problem in countries like India, which shows how important it is in richer countries. Healthy lifestyles and public health efforts by governments and health care providers could stop this trend as well as help stop up to one-third of all malignancies around the world. As a result, the goal of this scopus article is to look at the future opportunities and challenges in India's health system, with a focus on cancer. As a result, in India, the pattern of rising cancer rates has changed over time, with an alarming increase in cases such as poor performance status and probably a more aggressive phenotype. Many other regional cancer centres and hospitals in smaller cities are also found to be trailing behind.
