How can equality in healthcare facilities be ensured?
Answers
Answer:
The evaluation of health-care equity necessitates measuring both horizontal and vertical equity components to establish whether or not patients receive the health care across levels of need. Examining interactions between social factors of concern and need, or stratifying analyses according to different levels of need, can be used to identify horizontal and vertical equity. Increased data linkage across sectors and settings is vital for identification of sources of inequity and, crucially, to ascertain whether or not any identified variation has clinical relevance. Macro-, meso- and micro-level determinants of equity should always, ideally, be considered. However, examination of the ‘gap’ or the ‘gradient’ will depend on the intervention studied. Emerging techniques should be harnessed, for example machine learning to more completely exploit data sources on need, case mix and outcomes; and interactive multimedia techniques to examine social variations in clinical decision-making.

Equality: Healthcare Perspective
In India we find that the private facilities are increasing but the public facilities are not. Hence mainly private services are available to people. The disadvantage of this is:
Location: These are mainly concentrated in the urban areas.
High cost: Since these are run with a profit motive they charge exorbitantly. Hence poor people cannot afford the same.
In order to earn profit these private services engage in many malpractices. They unnecessarily recommend many tests and even hospitalization even in cases that can be treated with simple medicines.
