The record

Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.

Neurologist and stroke specialist Dr. Shushrutha Gowda has called for a national dialogue on rural India's emergency care crisis, saying no one should lose the Golden Hour because of where they live.
He noted that nearly 70% of India's population lives in rural areas, while only about one-fifth of hospitals are located there.
Community Health Centres and Taluk Hospitals, meant to provide secondary care closer to home, struggle with shortages of specialists, diagnostics, intensive care and emergency infrastructure, so patients are often referred hours away to district or urban tertiary centres.
He urged Union and State governments to bring together hospital leaders, medical colleges, professional associations and public health experts to strengthen referral pathways, improve coordination, expand telemedicine and develop incentives for rural practice.
