A essay on Health Care in India in today’s situation
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
India is a pluralistic, multi-lingual and multi-ethnic nation which accounts one-sixth of the world’s population occupying less than 3% of the world’s area. In India, since the last 10 years considerable work has been undertaken related to health and hospital sector reforms, which has involved various government, worldwide multilateral agencies and other stakeholders. Delivering affordable health care to India’s billion plus people presents enormous challenges and oppturunities for the medical community. The practice of medicine is becoming increasingly complex and time consuming. Political ideologies play a major role in determining the health policies of the country through decisions on resources allocation, choice of technology, human resources policy and degree to which health services are to be made available to the population.
No health care system in the world is stable. To start with health care sector has to become the priority sector for the government of india.The Indian health care sysyem must have a broader scope and biggert purpose.The government of india has taken a smart fight against HIV, T.B, Tobacco.The launch of massive programmes like The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) and National Urban Health Mission(NUHM) by the government of india and ban on smooking in public places is a proof that Indian government is committed to health care of its population.
To start by the fact that higher spending does not mean better health care . We have the case of America where 17% of the GDP goes on health care , still 77% of Americans have at least one chronic disease(1 out of 2 americans have a chronic disease and 7/10 people die of chronic disease).So we must not pursue wrong goal of just doubling the health care spending as a percentage of GDP. India is a young nation with 60%of its population below 40 years of age therfore We need a system that is outcome driven.Its high time that we converte our slogan from food, clothing and shelter to food, clothing and health care.
According to WHO, India has 14% of its population suffering from arthritis(approx 140 million), 10% suffering from Hypertension(approx 100 million).Accroding to international iabetes federation, approximately 5% of Indian population suffers from diabetes(50 million) and elderly people in india accounts about 150 million.
I believe that we have been already been late for this generation but we must build a robust healt care model for coming generation.We need to bring change in government policis,medical curriculum and channels to delivery of care across health care spectrum.
Constraints and challenges in health care sytem
Problem of distribution
India has a serious problem with focus and allocation of health resources, we are quite urban centric. Asurvey by Indian medical society had found that 75% of the qualified consultant doctors practice in urban centers , 23% in semi urban ares and only 2% in rural urban ares(where 65% of the toatal population live)
