Thanks that explains it. I was wondering how many people in India could afford regular health checkups and preventative care.

Not many. Also awareness is extremely low. Couple it with low income, extremely low number of hospitals and doctors. And when you move away from metros the number decreases from less to close to zero and most of the non metro hospital/clinics are essentially scam shops. Eventually you’d just want to not even consider all this and just settle for really bad.
