Does India lack in healthcare facility as compared to West?

We keep saying that Western/Americans have better healthcare facilities. This is not true, they may have better infrastructure, but in terms of software(skill of the Doctors) we are par or even shade above.Where the major difference lies is in attitude of the patient and their families.Here when we see somebody suffering and tell the patient that surgery should be done,the first reaction is I am not going for it.There is such a fear against surgeries ,whether right or wrong-nobody has the right answer.People are willing to suffer endlessly but will not go for surgery.In sharp contrast is advanced country,they are going for preventive surgeries.Recently in a much publicised case, a Hollywood actress went for one such preventive surgery .Infact this trend is catching on there and if we compare the situation in India,even if is given the only treatment for the problem is surgery,still people are not open.
