Explanation:
Statement-I is incorrect. India's public sector healthcare system does not solely focus on curative care. It also includes preventive, promotive, and rehabilitative care. Efforts have been made to strengthen primary healthcare and expand healthcare services beyond curative care.
Statement-II is correct. Under India's decentralized approach to healthcare delivery, the states have the primary responsibility for organizing and delivering health services. The central government provides support, guidance, and funding, but the implementation occurs at the state level.
