The chains of hospitals and health centres in India which are run by the government are called public health services.
In villages, the government has set up various health care centres. Health centres in the villages usually have a trained nurse and a health worker. They treat people suffering from common illnesses. They work under the supervision of doctors at the Primary Health Centre (P.H.C.). A Primary Health Centre looks after many villages. These health services are provided to the people at either low costs or free of cost. This has been done so that even poor people are able to afford these services.
The financial resources of these hospitals come from taxes which are paid by the people.
