Soaring healthcare costs in India are pushing even insured individuals to forgo essential treatments and doctor visits, according to a new report by smart preventive healthcare firm GOQii. The “India Fit Report 2025”, based on data from 6 million users and a survey of 2,000 people, paints a grim picture of an emerging health emergency driven by unaffordable care.
The report warns that healthcare in India is becoming a luxury, not a necessity. Nearly one in five respondents admitted to skipping essential treatments due to financial constraints, while a staggering 71% said healthcare costs have skyrocketed. Even among those with medical insurance, 36% said they had reduced doctor visits because of the high out-of-pocket expenses.
