Question

what do you think are the main medical challenges in india now and in the future ,and how could doctors help in resolving them? please answer.

Answer 1

The problems India facing today in healthcare are:

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.

Apart from this there are many challenges that rural healthcare is facing. Among them the main challenge for rural healthcare in India is lack of knowledge and awareness.

Awareness about Healthcare is the key to improve healthcare in India. First of all Government should Hire Health Solution Organization to aware about healthcare and starts with the health education in schools to aware the children’s as well as their parents about healthcare.

This should be the first step towards healthcare in India. These organizations organise School health programme and educate about healthcare problems and give valuable solutions to overcome
