About India

While the official languages of the Indian government are Hindi and English, each state also designates its own official language, making a total of 22 official languages.

India is undergoing an epidemiological transition, as both non-communicable and chronic diseases are now the leading causes of death. There is no national health insurance, so private companies are the only option. Most families pay their healthcare expenses out of pocket, often leading to catastrophic health expenditures and medical payments that damage a family’s ability to maintain a basic standard of living.
