Solution
Most private hospitals and private schools are located in major cities and not in towns or rural areas because, being private enterprises, they are expensive. The wealthy and elite live in more urban and capitalised areas like metropolitans or big cities where business booms are aplenty; these capitalist forms of wealth are missing in towns or rural areas where agriculture is a more dominant but less profitable form of employment. Because of this, private providers prefer to set up in big cities where they can earn profits. In towns and rural areas, there is not enough demand for their expensive services, so they do not find it profitable to open there.
