Abstract
This survey's goal was to ascertain the current state of urban healthcare in regard to private health providers and the costs sustained by the urban population under investigation. The primary motivation for researching an early intervention in private health clinics is the exorbitant expense of these facilities. This survey saw a tendency towards more diagnostics being recommended by private practitioners, which is concerning to a significant portion of the metropolitan population. Through sampling survey schedules with local statistical investigators, data were gathered. The survey's findings and conclusions indicated that the municipality of Tiruvannamalai was burdened by private healthcare, with a falling trend and a mushrooming of private clinics during the previous five years.
Keywords: Affordability, Illness, Diagnostics and Private Health Care
