India Faces Nurse Shortage; Healthcare Goals at Risk

India Faces Nurse Shortage; Healthcare Goals at Risk

India needs more nurses to give everyone good healthcare by 2030.

Many nurses leave India for jobs in other countries, which causes problems.

India has far fewer nurses compared to other places.

The government is building new schools to train more nurses.

Also, they are using nurses in new roles to help people in the community.

This is important because it brings the country closer to universal health coverage, where everyone can get the healthcare they need.
