As in most countries, private hospitals provide better quality service and
treatment but are costlier than government-run centres. These are generally
preferred by the middle, upper class and expat community. Private Healthcare
has flourished in India in the last decade owing to the long queues and
impersonal service in government-run hospitals. Most private hospitals have
contracts with various insurance companies making better treatment more accessible.
