The uneven distribution of nursing personnel across India poses significant challenges to healthcare delivery, particularly in northern and eastern states. Regions with low nurse-population ratios may struggle to provide adequate care, especially in critical areas like intensive care units and emergency departments. Southern states, while better equipped, may face strain due to their role in supplying nurses to other parts of the country and overseas. The shortage of nurses in populous states like Uttar Pradesh and Bihar could exacerbate healthcare disparities, impacting millions of residents.
