Due to changing global economic and social conditions, advent of new advanced technology in the treatment of diseases and with new challenges arising in the field of healthcare, we feel the need to look at the recent trends and future perspectives&#13;
of healthcare in a very vast and diverse perspective of India. Since independence India?s healthcare was concentrated on primary healthcare, where around eighty percent of Indian population is covered&#13;
so that the problem of healthcare is handled at grass root levels. Diseases like Tuberculosis, polio which were&#13;
very dangerous and their virility caused a number of deaths in the country, which we can attribute to lack of proper health care facilities available at the rural level. There was also lack of awareness about&#13;
the diseases and a precautionary measure to be taken to prevent and cure them was one of the factors. Post liberalization, like all sectors the Indian healthcare scenario has undergone a sea change at a&#13;
faster and more rapid level. Advanced technology made way to the traditional way of treating diseases, many super specialty hospitals were started in the Metros with advanced medical innovations to their utility. Slowly the tertiary healthcare started taking a more dramatic turn for good. Our study in this fast changing scenario of Indian healthcare is primarily focused on Medical Tourism and its effects on health sector, Reducing the health care expenditure in terms of hospital and medicines by health insurance, Vaccination for children and also study the economic feasibility of Combined vaccine for children and Major disease efforts made to contain and eradicate them by 2020 in India.&#13;
