The Indian health system does not have social security like in France. To be cured, you must first pay.
In the slums, the absence of drinking water exposes the inhabitants to serious illnesses. The precarious living conditions give rise to various respiratory, intestinal and many rheumatism disorders.

Child health
According to the State of the World's Children 2023 report, 1 in 5 children still does not have access to life-saving vaccines despite undeniable progress over decades. It is essential to act now to vaccinate every child, regardless of where they are born, who they are or where they live.
MOTHER HEALTH
Recognizing that it is possible to accelerate the decline in maternal mortality, countries have now set themselves a new target to further reduce maternal mortality. One of the targets of the Sustainable Development Goal is to reduce the global maternal mortality rate below 70 per 100,000 live births, with no country having a maternal mortality rate higher than twice the world average.
DISEASE TREATMENT
The tragedy of poor populations is when the breadwinner falls ill. From one day to the next, they find themselves without money and without food. Malnutrition sets in and impacts health, and children drop out of school to go to work and earn a few coins. And this vicious cycle deepens the problems. This is why poor and developing countries must place health at the heart of their public development policies.
