I’ve written an essay on this. Hope this piece of writing will provide you the holistic picture.
Health and well-being for all - problems, prospects and challenges
It is a sad reality that people in rural India are dying because of lack of health care infrastructure, our country's total IMR and MMR among the highest in the world, the rate of suicide is abnormally high because of no care of mental health, and tribal health is at the lowest among all communities. The health care of women, child, differently abled, and geriatric is in the possible miserable condition. According to World Bank's Universal Health Coverage Index, India is at the 157th position of entire 195 Nations. Lancet Report mentions that India is the poorest performer of all BRICS countries. Is there health and well-being for all? Are we targeting health and wellness for all? Indeed, yes! Then what are the reasons for such deplorable condition?
In this essay, I will discuss the problems of health care. What are the prospects and challenges associated with them? Also, I will investigate on the way forward for such a condition.
Health care is not only medical care, but also all aspects of preventive care as well. WHO defines health as "State of total physical, mental and social well-being and not a mere absence of disease or infirmity." But, in India, there is no such health well being. Let's look at the problems of health care in India.
The SOCIAL problems are enormous. There is a complete neglect of rural population. According to KPMG report, 32% hospitals and 16% beds are available in the rural areas where nearly 75% of the population reside. Furthermore, the suicide rate is immense in India. According to WHO, the suicide incidences in India are 21.1 per one lakh population. It confirms the lack of mental well-being of citizens. Also, the tribal community is fighting hard against the health problems. The Under-5 mortality among the tribals is more than any other community in India.
Similarly, there are many POLITICAL and INFRASTRUCTURAL problems. There is an overemphasis on secondary and tertiary health care facilities with no serious primary health centers, which is the first point of contact. Furthermore, the condition of healthcare infrastructure is in a sad state. There is a lack of hospitals along with the weak strength of doctors and nurses. It is a policy failure as the focus is more on demand-side rather than handling supply side. For instance, lack of emphasis on hygiene, environment, sanitation, etc.
