Recently, a video from the Danish embassy brought India's health problems into the public eye. The piles of garbage piled up on the streets of India and the dirty environment shown in the video are truly shocking.
As a veteran blogger in the travel industry, I felt compelled to share some of my actual observations and experiences in India, hoping to provide you with a more comprehensive perspective.
Most parts of India do have serious health problems. Especially in some large cities and slums, high population density and poor infrastructure have led to a serious shortage of waste disposal and sanitation facilities. Walking in these areas, you can't help but sigh at the garbage and sewage that can be seen everywhere. In addition, the deterioration of sanitation has undoubtedly been exacerbated by the fact that the hygiene habits of some Indians have not been fully improved, and open defecation has also occurred from time to time.
However, we can't generalize either. India is a diverse and multicultural country, with differences between different regions. In some developed cities and tourist areas, the health situation is still relatively good. In addition, many Indian cities and districts are also working to improve infrastructure, sanitation and urban planning, and the country is gradually increasing its investment in sanitation facilities.
From the point of view of food hygiene, street food in India has a unique flavor but uneven hygiene. Some stalls do pose food safety hazards, but there are also some high-end restaurants and hotels that offer relatively safe and hygienic food and beverage services.

As a tourist, I have also had hygiene issues during my travels in India. But I don't think these problems are unsolvable. India and civil society organizations are already working to improve sanitation and raise awareness among the population. At the same time, we should also see the progress and achievements that India has made in the area of sanitation.
In general, health problems do exist in India, but not in the whole country. We should look at this issue objectively, both in terms of the problems and the efforts made by the people of India to improve sanitation.
In my opinion, to solve India's health problems, it takes a multifaceted effort. We should continue to increase investment in public health facilities and improve the level of urban management and garbage disposal. At the same time, education and awareness are also key, and by raising people's awareness of hygiene and environmental protection, some unhealthy habits can be gradually changed. In addition, the introduction of advanced waste treatment technology and the improvement of urban management capacity are also effective ways to improve environmental sanitation.
