HEALTHCARE STRUCTURE AND ECONOMICSOrgan transplantation in India to date relies predominantly (80.3%) on living donor procedures for kidney and liver transplantation. Heart, lung, pancreas, and small bowel transplants are therefore less frequent. [1][2][3][4] There is also a pronounced gender inequality with a majority of male transplant recipients (81%), whereas most donors (78%) are female. At this time, there are limited living donor follow-up and variable recipient results. Most transplants take place in private sector hospitals with costs that nearly twice compared with those in the public sector.India ranks 184 of 191 countries for the gross domestic product (GDP) spent on healthcare. Based on the World Health Organization National Health Profile, India spent only 1.3%-1.4% of its GDP for public health expenditures (2008)(2009)(2010)(2011)(2012)(2013)(2014)(2015)(2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020). In comparison, health expenditures (% GDP) are significantly higher in developed countries, ranging from 17% in the United States to 9.2% in Australia. Approximately 30% of healthcare in India is funded by the government, whereas 70% is funded outof-pocket; 50% of healthcare in the country is provided by private institutions.
