The Indian government is spending substantially in upgrading the public healthcare system so that all Indian residents, particularly those who cannot afford to pay a high price for private treatment, can benefit from these government-sponsored health programmes.

Government health insurance schemes in India refer to health insurance programmes supported by the federal or state governments. The major goal of efforts such as the government health insurance system is to make healthcare accessible to everyone at a reasonable cost.
