Indicator Summary

Government Hospitals refer to the healthcare institutions owned and operated by the government within a specific region or country. These hospitals provide medical services to the public, typically funded by government budgets, making healthcare more accessible, especially to underserved and economically disadvantaged populations. Government hospitals range from large tertiary care centres to smaller rural and district hospitals, offering a spectrum of services, including general medicine, surgery, paediatrics, obstetrics, and speciality care. The number of such hospitals is a key indicator of a nation’s healthcare infrastructure and capacity to provide public health services. It often reflects the government’s commitment to ensuring equitable access to medical care and is used to assess regional disparities in healthcare availability. Moreover, it plays a crucial role in health policy planning, resource allocation, and identifying areas where more healthcare facilities may be needed to meet population demands.
