Answer 1

Answer:

According to data provided in 1989 by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the total number of civilian hospitals for all states and union territories combined was 10,157. In 1991 there was a total of 811,000 hospital and health care facilities beds. The geographical distribution of hospitals varied according to local socio-economic conditions. In India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, with a 1991 population of more than 139 million, there were 735 hospitals as of 1990. In Kerala, with a 1991 population of 29 million occupying an area only one-seventh the size of Uttar Pradesh, there were 2,053 hospitals. In light of the central government’s goal of health care for all by 2000, the uneven distribution of hospitals needs to be re-examined. Private studies of India’s total number of hospitals in the early 1990s were more conservative than official Indian data, estimating that in 1992 there were ^300 hospitals. Of this total, nearly 4,000 were owned a‘1(d managed by central, state, or local governments. Another 2,000, owned and managed by charitable trusts, received

partial support from the government, and the remaining 1,300 hospitals, many of which were relatively small facilities were owned and managed by the private sector. The use of state-of-the-art medical equipment, often imported from Western countries, was primarily limited to urban centres in the early 1990s. A network of regional cancer diagnostic and treatment facilities was being established in the early 1990s in major hospitals that were part of government medical colleges. By 1992 twenty-two such centres were in operation.

Most of the 1,300 private hospitals lacked sophisticated medical facilities, although, in 1992, approximately 12 per cent possessed state-of-the-art equipment for diagnosis and treatment of all major diseases, including cancer. The fast pace of development of the private medical sector and the burgeoning middle class in the 1990s have led to the emergence of the new concept in India of establishing hospitals and health care facilities on a for-profit basis.
