The 10.4 percentage point gain encompasses both the extension of formal health insurance coverage to previously uninsured populations and the physical expansion of healthcare facilities to underserved areas. The Cooperative Health Insurance system, mandatory for private-sector employees and their dependents, has been progressively extended to cover broader population segments.</p>
