A report published in 2016 by FICCI called the Heal report on nursing reforms revealed that there are only 1.7 nurses per thousand people in India. The ideal ratio according to WHO is 2.5 per thousand people. This and other reports clearly demonstrate a wide demand-supply gap in the nursing sector in India.
