What are your fears about traveling there? Access to good hospitals or treatment?

There are a lot of diseases there. Even healthy people have to get inoculated against all sorts of diseases and stuff. I am afraid that I will get infected with something that will weaken my immune system

The risk of falling ill is part and parcel of international travel to virtually any destination.
On the Indian subcontinent the most common problems you will face are cold and flu viruses and stomach upsets.
As a seasoned traveler I would not recommend traveling to India unless your health was in good order prior to departure. I would not be fearful of exotic illnesses unless you plan on traveling to remote rural locations.
