India has made significant progress in expanding health insurance coverage, ranking second among the six Southeast Asian countries, following Indonesia, said a recent study published in the Lancet.

A key driver of coverage in India has been the expansion of Social Security Health Insurance (SSHI) schemes.

However, it said that in spite of government initiatives, financial vulnerability for healthcare persists in the country.
