Making health care affordable and accessible to Indian citizens is the key challenge before the new government. India needs a holistic care system which is universally accessible, affordable and effective and drastically reduces the out of pocket spending on health. The National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) has drastically failed to meet the objectives and needs to be radically reformed. The overarching goal of health care should be to provide, health assurance to all Indians and to reduce the out of pocket spending on health care, with the help of State governments. The current situation also calls for radical reforms in the health care system with regards to national health care programmes and delivery, medical education and training and financing of health care.

 

“Major part of health budget, about 66 to 70 per cent, be targeted to improving primary health. Life saving drugs and surgeries should be free for all. All medical colleges, whether private or governmental, be sanctioned with prior planning and should spread in all areas. All those who are getting training in government medical institutions, compulsorily be deputed on rotation in rural areas during their education and training period.”—Dr RS Tonk, Consultant and Prof. of Medicine, Nursing Home Incharge, Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi
