A health system consists of all organizations, people and actions

whose primary intent is to promote, restore or maintain health.

This includes efforts to influence cause of health as well as more
direct health-improving activities. A health system is, therefore,
more than the pyramid of publicly owned facilities that deliver
personal health services. For example, a mother caring for a sick
child at home; private providers; behavior change programmes;
vector-control campaigns; health insurance organizations;
occupational health and safety legislation. VACINATION
The number of health care systems in India has increased from

 The health care system has improved from the past years
the past years. Facilities have also improved. More primary health
centers have been opened in the rural areas as well. In the urban
areas the hospitals have also increased with many advanced
facilities. Many medical colleges have also been opened so that
there are many aspiring doctors to treat the sick people. We can
see medical colleges and hospitals in every area.
Government has taken many initiatives for curing prevention of
diseases.  Since the rate of deaths in the country because of
communicable and non-communicable diseases is increasing at
an alarming rate, the government has introduced various
programmes to aid people against these diseases. Some are of
the gov programmes are
National Leprosy Eradication Programme was initiated by the
government for early detection through active surveillance by the
trained health workers and to provide appropriate medical
rehabilitation and leprosy ulcer care services.
Pulse Polio is an immunization campaign established by the
government of India to eliminate polio in India by vaccinating all
children under the age of five years against the polio virus.
Revised National TB Control Programme is a state-run
tuberculosis control initiative of Government of India with a vision
of achieving a TB free India.
By introducing new policies for people the there are number of
health issues for implementation the policies . The existing public
primary health care model system in the country is limited in
scope.
Even where there is a well-functioning public primary health
centre, only services related to pregnancy care, limited
childcare and certain services only basic services are
available related to national health programmes are provided.
This represents only 15% of all morbidities for which people
seek care.
One of the most pressing problems in India remains a severe
shortage of trained manpower in the medical stream, this
includes doctors, nurses, paramedics and primary healthcare
workers. The situation remains worrisome in rural areas, where
almost 66 per cent of India’s population resides. Poor health
management skills and lack of appropriate training and
supportive supervision for health workers prevent delivery of the
desired quality of health services.
Expenditure on public budget allocation for public health
care system has been consistently low in India. As per OECD,
India's total out-of-pocket expenditure is around 2.3 % of GDP.
India has been struggling with deficient infrastructure in the form
of lack of well-equipped medical institutes for quite a while now.
To add to it, the rate of building such medical teaching or training
facilities remains less as compared to the need of the hour.
There is no single authority responsible for public health that is
legally empowered to issue guidelines and enforce compliance
of the health standards.
Due to this, it is challenging to tackle Non-communicable
Diseases, which is all about prevention and early detection. The
urban health care system faces lots of challenges due to
increasing number of population. In urban sector there are
sufficient as well as good quality hospitals but the major issues
revolve around here is that doctors sometimes does not get to
know the actual problem and how to cure it.
Now, in this pandemic the healthcare system should be ready
with the medical facilities needed in any emergency situations.
More points
For providing a good health care system in India many measures
has to be taken by people and government. Some of them could
be-
There is a need to ensure people eat healthy and do not eat
junk food, sleep right, maintain good hygiene, exercise, and
adopt a healthy lifestyle that necessitates concerted
interventions at various levels of the system.
Given the major role that States have to play in creating strong
health systems across the country, allocations provided by the
Finance Commission can become the critical catalyst for
transforming the nation’s health.
State governments should be incentivized to invest in creating
a dedicated cadre for public health at the state, district and
block levels.
Public funding on health should be increased to at least
(comparison between countries) 3.5% of GDP as envisaged in
the National Health Policy, 2017.
There is a need to make nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene
part of the core functions of Panchayati raj institutions and
municipalities.awareness
The government should bear the expenses for those below the
poverty line. And the middle class and the rich should pay on
their own to avail medical facilities. Public health programmes
should be entrusted to private hospitals under the supervision
of the government authority.
There is need to create a designated and autonomous focal
agency with the required capacities and linkages to perform the
functions of disease surveillance, information gathering on the
health impact of policies of key non-health departments,
maintenance of national health statistics, enforcement of public
health regulations, and dissemination of information to the
public. In this pursuit, NITI Aayog’s National Health Stack is a
step in the right direction, which needs to be operationalised as
soon as possible.
India has made striking progress in health standards in the
post-independence era. Still, many feel that the budgetary
resources for the health sector should be increased.
International developments in information technology need to
be utilized at the national level in an attempt for health data
documentation. The sustained efforts to control the country’s
population and the political will to march towards the millennium
development goals in health will help India to make a significant
impact in the international health scene.
