what challenges does india face with respect health of its people
Answers
Answer:
Simultaneously, many Indians—especially the poor—receive unacceptably low-quality primary and hospital care. The rapidly growing burden of chronic diseases in India makes the low quality of care highly salient for health policy. The challenge of low quality in health care is not unique to India.
Answer:
1) Lack of infrastructure : Lack of continuous water supply in many PHC’S, some government building is being used as a primary health center at some places etc.
2)Inefficient workforce : we need to introduce an efficient check on working of medical officers and the auxillary staff.
3)Awareness of the people : A lot of primary health problems can be solved if we provide effective training and the knowledge to the local population.
4) There is only one doctor per 1,700 citizens in India.
If shortage of doctors is one problem, their unwillingness to work in the rural hinterland is another. Generic medicines are highly underrated in country where doctors sometime prescribe expensive medicine.
5) Creating artificial scarcity in the area and high concentration in another causing hardship for the rural poor people increasing the out of pocket expenditure.
we can put up a surveillance system to prevent the rampant absenteeism of the health care providers , also we should have an frictionless model that transfers enquiry and complaints of the population efficiently to the concerned authorities.
