Question

write the achievements of indian government in health sector and also discuss about it's failures

Answer 1

The Constitution of India makes healthcare in India the responsibility of the state governments, rather than the central federal government. It makes every state responsible for "raising the level of nutrition and the standard of living of its people and the improvement of public health as among its primary duties".[1][2]

The National Health Policy was endorsed by the Parliament of India in 1983 and updated in 2002 and then in 2017. The recent four main updates in 2017 mentions the need to focus on the growing burden of the non-communicable diseases, on the emergence of the robust healthcare industry,on growing incidences of catastrophic expenditure due to health care costs and on rising economic growth enabling enhanced fiscal capacity.[3] In practice, however, private healthcare sector is responsible for the majority of healthcare in India, and most healthcare expenses are paid out of pocket by patients and their families, rather than through insurance.[4] Government health policy has thus far largely encouraged private sector expansion in conjunction with well-designed but limited public health programmes.[5]

There has been an ambitious healthcare project launched in the year 2018, which is perhaps one of the biggest government funded healthcare insurance, called Ayusman Bharat.

According to the World Bank, the total expenditure on health care as a proportion of GDP in 2015 was 3.89%.[6] Out of 3.89%, the governmental health expenditure as a proportion of GDP is just 1%[7] and the out-of-pocket expenditure as a proportion of the current health expenditure was 65.06% in 2015.[8]

Govt. is trying its best on providing the health care facilities to everyone and I personally think that there aren't much failures... But if We are talking about the failures then we can see that in some places Ambulence facility is not there , even if its there, it doesn't come in one call....
Some hoapitals have ample of beds while some doesn't have much..
So, mate.. , You yourself can observe some failures and achievements aroumd your home in the health care sectors.. This was from my side.. Hope it helps...... Good Luck
