India has highlighted its efforts to expand the medical, nursing and allied healthcare workforce while improving access to specialised care in rural, tribal and underserved communities. Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda raised these issues during a ministerial roundtable on “Human Resources for Health: Equity in Specialised Care” at the 79th Session of the WHO Regional Committee for South-East Asia in Timor-Leste.

Nadda said that equitable access to specialist healthcare is essential for achieving Universal Health Coverage (UHC). He stressed that strengthening healthcare delivery requires more than increasing the number of professionals. Education and training, appropriate deployment, retention in difficult locations, and continuous professional development are equally important.

India has significantly expanded its medical education infrastructure since 2014. The number of medical colleges has increased from 387 to 858, while MBBS seats have risen from 51,348 to 142,464. Postgraduate medical seats have also increased from 31,185 to 86,287, reflecting substantial growth in training capacity.

The government is also targeting another 10,000 postgraduate medical seats by 2028–29, with priority given to underserved areas and specialities facing shortages, including emergency medicine, geriatrics, psychiatry and family medicine.

Nursing education is another major area of expansion. 157 new nursing colleges are being established alongside existing medical colleges, with the potential to produce around 15,700 nursing graduates annually. Nurse practitioner programmes have also been introduced across 10 critical specialities. India is simultaneously working to expand its allied and healthcare workforce. The government has announced the creation of 1 lakh allied and healthcare professionals over five years, while the National Commission for Allied and Healthcare Professions provides a regulatory framework covering 57 allied and healthcare professions.

To address specialist shortages in difficult locations, India is using measures such as competitive remuneration, difficult-area allowances, performance-based incentives, in-sourcing of specialist services, and fixed-tenure postings. Digital platforms, including eSanjeevani and ABHA-enabled health records, are also being used to overcome geographical barriers through teleconsultations, referrals and continuity of care.

A key outcome of the WHO meeting was the adoption of the Dili Declaration on Human Resources for Health: Equity in Specialised Care by countries in the WHO South-East Asia Region. The declaration calls for better health workforce planning, stronger specialist recruitment and retention, task-sharing, mentoring, rotational outreach and visiting specialist programmes.

It also promotes telemedicine, AI-supported clinical tools, mobile specialist teams and stronger referral systems to improve access for remote populations. Priority areas include cancer, cardiovascular disease, trauma, maternal and newborn care, mental health, geriatric care and rehabilitation.

India was also recognised with two WHO South-East Asia Regional awards for sustaining elimination of maternal and neonatal tetanus and for leadership in addressing noncommunicable diseases through primary healthcare, including protocol-based management of hypertension and diabetes. The developments underline India's broader shift towards a larger, more diverse and geographically distributed healthcare workforce, supported by medical education expansion, allied health training, digital healthcare and stronger primary-to-specialist referral systems.
