Abstract

Health disparity between urban and rural India has existed since very long back in history. Text mining techniques in the given context are used to compile 140 peer-reviewed journal articles published in the WoS database focusing more on the core theme, disparities, as well as the policy aspects related to the delivery of health services in both the urban and rural sectors. The results explain the disparities in the health infrastructure available to the country as a whole, adherence to digital health technology, as well as the financial status. Urban areas possess improved health services as well as advanced digital platforms compared to rural areas, where basic services as well as digital technologies are currently lagging. The factors identified as the bridge between the gaps in rural health services are the greater acceptance of telemedicine, mobile health (mHealth), and AI-based interventions. Community programs initiated under Accredited Social Health Activists (ASHA)s and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) worked towards adding positively to improved accessibility. Government programs like Ayushman Bharat and National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) improved health insurance coverage. However, fears about the functionality remain. This study emphasizes the importance of informed decision-making, effective financing strategies for the protection of health, or rather the development of appropriate community-based responses to health care. This particular publication contributes towards the body of knowledge in the area of inequality in health care delivery in India.
