Annual hospitalisation cost: Kerala households spend more than twice national average
Friday, 15 November 2024 ()

The state is grappling with a rapidly aging population and a surge in lifestyle diseases diagnosed at younger ages. This, coupled with a preference for private healthcare and low insurance coverage, has resulted in significant out-of-pocket expenses for families.
