What is healthcare education? Simply speaking, healthcare education encompasses the formal training received by the medical and allied healthcare staff in medical colleges. However, we often stop at that. Healthcare education in India is largely synonymous to medical training and educating the people to help them take informed decision often slips away: Making the people aware of their health needs and risks, payment options to reduce their out-of-pocket medical expense, etc. are some of the aspects on which even a well-educated, city-bred person may need some help. India must utilise the access its community health workers (Anganwadi and Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) workers) enjoy to inform and assure people of the options they have, failing which even the best technology and most efficient staff will fall short of making an impact.
