Editor's Notes
- #11: India’s overall investment in its public health system is one of the lowest in the world. The physical infrastructure especially in rural areas is unsatisfactory at many places. There is a shortage of human resources (both doctors and support staff). People need to travel very long distances to be seen by a doctor and get medicines and to avoid that they rely extensively on informal providers called UMPs or RMPs. People continue paying high amounts out of their own pocket. Insurance cover is presently inadequate despite schemes that provide support for the hospitalization of beneficiaries identified as poor. Health financing by Government has not been commensurate with the needs particularly in rural areas. There is disproportionate public dependence on the private sector. India’s model for providing primary and secondary health care is a hybrid one and does not compare favorably with the health systems provided by e.g. UK,(NHS), Canada or France or even some South and South East Asian countries.
