New Delhi [India], July 22: A global study released by The Economist Impact, supported by Haleon, reveals that India's healthcare future hinges on one powerful lever: health literacy. The findings of the Health Inclusivity Index, which analyzed 40 countries, looking at groups such as people with low health literacy, people on lower incomes, women, and older adults, highlighted how better access to health information, education, and preventive care can significantly reduce medical costs and boost economic productivity--especially in rapidly developing nations like India.
