A health worker fills a syringe with vaccine 'Pneumovax' as a boy suffering from HIV/AIDS watches during a vaccination programme organised by non-government organisation 'Sngobadho' (Together) at their office on the outskirts of the northeastern Indian city of Siliguri August 5, 2008. India is failing to provide basic healthcare to its poorest children despite robust economic growth, underlining a widening gap between rich and poor across the Asia-Pacific region, the United Nations said on Tuesday. Experts say many of the two-thirds of Indians living in rural areas do not have access to basic medical facilities, despite the country achieving 9 percent economic growth.
