Main Article Content
Abstract
With a population of approximately 1.39 billion, India faces the challenge of low health insurance penetration despite its considerable manpower. While some may assume that raising awareness about health insurance would be straightforward in such a populous country, it remains one of the significant obstacles. Unlike the stringent regulations governing the purchase of motor insurance policies, health insurance is not mandatory, even though it plays a crucial role in ensuring prompt medical treatment. This article aims to delve into the issues surrounding health insurance awareness in Visakhapatnam district in Andhra Pradesh.
Keywords: Health Insurance, WHO, IRDP, APL, BPL, Health.
