Compared to China, India's life expectancy for both sexes has increased much slower. Today, it is more than 8 years below the level of China and more than 14 years below the level of the United States of America.

While India certainly has world-class hospitals and doctors, basic health care, hygiene, and health education has apparently not reached all sections of the population.
有些会讲中文的人， 真不可思议。 他们似乎根本就不懂什么是事实。
