Social networks have long been used to disseminate health-related information and help, and this use has increased with the emergence of online social media. The goal of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of health information in the context of India. The literature available in PubMed is the source of the study. The objective of this paper is to develop a better insight into the literature on social media-based health information using bibliometric analysis in the context of India. The software used for bibliometric analysis is profile research networking software from Harvard University and Vosviewer. From the study, it is clear that social media is important in the context of public health. We also found out that although the number of publications in journals is highest but video-audio content has been cited more. Although there is a significant increase in publication during 2020, but number of researchers are still very few. It is clear that social media is of greater importance for marginalized people; health care providers and regulators must take precautions to avoid possible negative outcomes.
