The article I read was on the changes India will make in their health care over the next few years.  Thoughts on this change are that it will influence other countries to do the same.  India will be looking to build more hospitals and clinics throughout the country.  That means health care expanding in urban areas and health care being provided in rural areas where it was never provided before.  It is also thought that over the next two years, about one thousand people will be employed as engineers.  Therefore, more manufacturing will take place and India will create bigger and better things.
