Abstract
Ratna S Parikh, Praful B Desai
Health and disease are major socioeconomic issues in many developing countries, including India. India is a large subcontinent, with an estimated population of 1.35 billion based on the recent UN data of 2018. Major cities in India have easy access to modern cancer therapy as obtains in advanced countries; however, 70% of Indian population reside in rural and semi urban areas. Routine day to day medications for common ailments are not a problem; however, access to modern cancer therapy (surgery, chemoradiotherapy etc) is a major issue due to socioeconomic constraints which prevents this large population from having an access to multidisciplinary treatment.
