ACON,HYD.

A health care delivery system is the totality of services
offered by all health disciplines.
Traditionally the primary purpose of a health care
system had been to offer care to ill and injured.
For this reason the health care system of the past might
be more accurately described as illness care system

India is union of 28 states and 7 union
territories.
Under the constitution of india, the states are largely
independent in matters relating to the delivery of
health care to the people each state, there fore, has
developed its own system of health care delivery,
independent of the central government.

The central responsibility consists mainly of
policy making, planning, guiding, assisting,
evaluating , co coordinating the work of the
state health ministries, so that health services
cover every part of the country and no state
behind fro want of these services.

The health system in india has 3 main links i.e
central, sate and local or peripheral.

AT THE STATE LEVEL
. The state list which became the
responsibility of the state includes
provision of medical care, preventive
health services and pilgrimages with in
the state. The position has largely
remained the same, even after the new
constitution of India came into force in
1950.The state is the ultimate authority
responsible for all the health services
operating within its jurisdiction.

STATE MINISTRY OF HEALTH
The state ministry of health is headed by

surgeon general and inspector general of Civil
Hospitals and Director of public health
respectively.

The public health engineering
organizations in most states its part of the
public works department of the state
government. It has been recommended by
experts in the public health that the
public health engineering organization in
every state should be part of the state
health department, and that the Chief
Engineer of public health should have the
status of an additional Director of Health
service.

AT THE DISTRICT LEVEL
The principal unit of administration in India is
the district under a collector. There are 593(year
2001) districts in India. There is no “average”
district that is districts vary widely in area and
population. Within each district again there are 6
types of administrative areas

1. Sub – divisions
2. Tehsils (Talukas)
3. Community Development Blocks
4. Municipalities and Corporations
5. Villages
6. Panchayats

Most districts in India are divided into
two or more sub divisions, each in charge
of an assistant Collector or sub collector.
Each division is again divided in to tehsils
(talukas), in charge of a Tehsildar .
A tehsil usually comprises between 200 to
600 villages. Since the launching of the
community Development programme in
India in 1952.

The block is a unit of rural planning and
development, and comprises approximately 100
villages and about 80,000 to 1,20,000 population,
in charge of a block development officer. Finally
there are the village panchayats, which are
institutions of rural local self government.

The urban areas of the district are
organized into the following institutions of
local self-government
1. Town area committees- (in areas with
population ranging between 5,000 and
10,000)
2.Municipal Boards-(in areas with
population ranging between 10,000 and 2
lakhs)
3.Corporations-(with population above 2
lakhs

The Town area committees are like panchayats.
They provide sanitary services. The municipal
Boards are headed by a chairman/President,
elected usually by the members. The term of a
Municipal Boards ranges between 3-5 years. The
functions of a municipal board are:

Construction and maintenance of roads,
sanitation and drainage, street lighting, water
supply, maintenance of hospitals and
dispensaries, education registration of births and
deaths, et
The councilors are elected from different wards of
the city.

The executive agency includes the Commissioner,
the secretary, the Engineer and the Health
officer. Thee activities are similar to those of the
municipalities, but on a much wider scale.

PANCHAYATI RAJ
The Panchayati Raj is a 3-tier
structure of rural local self government in
India, linking the village to the district.
The three institutions are:
1. Panchayat-at the village level
2. Panchayat Samiti- at the block
level
3. Zila Parishad- at the district
level

COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS
These were established by upgrading the
primary health centers,each community
health center should cover a population of
8000 to 1 lakh with 30 beds and
specialists in surgery
,medicine,obstetrics,paediatrics etc.the
community health officer is selected from
amongst the supervisory category of staff
at phc and district level with minimum of
7 yrs experience in rural health

HEALTH CARE IN INDIA
Indigenous or traditional medical practitioners
continue to practice throughout the country.
The two main forms of traditional medicine practiced are
the ayurvedic (meaning science of life) system, which deals
with causes, symptoms, diagnoses, and treatment based on
all aspects of well-being (mental, physical, and spiritual),
and the unani (so-called Galenic medicine) herbal medical
practice.
A vaidya is a practitioner of the ayurvedic tradition, and a
hakim (Arabic for a Muslim physician) is a practitioner of
the unani tradition.

These professions are frequently hereditary.
A variety of institutions offer training in indigenous
medical practice.
Only in the late 1970s did official health policy
refer to any form of integration between Western-
oriented medical personnel and indigenous medical
practitioners.
In the early 1990s, there were ninety-eight
ayurvedic colleges and seventeen unani colleges
operating in both the governmental and
nongovernmental sectors.

Healthcare in India is the responsibility of
constituent states and territories of India.
The Constitution charges every state with "raising
of the level of nutrition and the standard of living of
its people and the improvement of public health as
among its primary duties".
The National Health Policy was endorsed by the
Parliament of India in 1983 and updated in 2002.

Providing healthcare and disease prevention to
India’s growing population of more than a billion
people becomes challenging in the face of increased
competition for resources.
2.47 million people in India are estimated to be HIV
positive.
India is one of the four countries worldwide where
polio has not as yet been successfully eradicated and
one third of the world’s tuberculosis cases are in
India.

According to the World Health Organization 900,000
Indians die each year from drinking contaminated water and
breathing in polluted air.
As India grapples with these basic issues, new
challenges are emerging for example there is a rise in
chronic adult diseases such as cardiovascular illnesses and
diabetes as a consequence of changing lifestyles.

India's health care system also
includes entities which are world
class.
The Apollo set of hospitals are
considered amougst Asia's most
advanced hospitals.
Many patients seeking treatment
from even from Pakistan have come
here.
In November 2008, a Pakistani
girl was operated on for heart
problems.
Thus, India's health care system
has progressed and is a leader in
South EastAsia.

1 Medical professionals
In a 2005 World Bank study, World Bank reported that
"a detailed survey of the knowledge of medical practitioners
for treating five common conditions in Delhi found that the
average doctor in a public primary health center has around
a 50-50 chance of recommending a harmful treatment".
Random visits by government inspectors showed that
40% of public sector medical workers were not found at the
workplace.

2 Diseases
Malaria is endemic in India.
On going government of India education about HIV has led to
decreases in the spread of HIV in recent years.
The number of people living with AIDS in India is estimated to b e
between 2 and 3 million.
The country has had a sharp decrease in the estimated number of
HIV infections; 2005 reports had claimed that there were 5.2 million
to 5.7 million people afflicted with the virus.
The new figures are supported by the World Health Organization
and UNAIDS.

3 Issues
i) Malnutrition
Half of children in India are underweight,
India contributes to about 5.6 million child deaths
every year, more than half the world's total.

ii) Women
Most Indian women are malnourished. The
average female life expectancy today in India is low
compared to many countries, but it has shown gradual
improvement over the years.
In many families, especially rural ones, the girls and
women face nutritional discrimination within the family,
and are anemic and malnourished.
The maternal mortality in India is the second
highest in the world.

iii) Water and sanitation
Water supply and sanitation in India continue to
be abysmal, despite longstanding efforts by the various
levels of government and communities at improving
coverage.
The situation is particularly inadequate for sanitation,
since only one of three Indians has access to improved
sanitation facilities (including improved latrines).

As of 2003, it was estimated that only 30% of
India's wastewater was being treated, with the remainder
flowing into rivers or groundwater.
The lack of toilet facilities in many areas also presents a
major health risk; open defecation is widespread even in
urban areas of India, and it was estimated in 2002 by the
World Health Organisation that around 700,000 Indians die
each year from diarrhoea.
No city in India has full-day water supply. Most cities
supply water only a few hours a day. In towns and rural
areas the situation is even worse.

4 Healthcare Infrastructure
According to the Investment Commission of India
the healthcare sector has experienced phenomenal growth
of 12 percent per annum in the last 4 years.
Rising income levels and a growing elderly population
are all factors that are driving this growth.
In addition, changing demographics, disease profiles and
the shift from chronic to lifestyle diseases in the country
has led to increased spending on healthcare delivery .

5 Central government role
Central government efforts at influencing
public health have focused on the five-year plans,
on coordinated planning with the states, and on
sponsoring major health programs.
Government expenditures are jointly shared by
the central and state governments.

Goals and strategies are set through central-
state government consultations of the Central Council
of Health and Family Welfare.
Central government efforts are administered by the
Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, which
provides both administrative and technical services
and manages medical education.
States provide public services and health education

6 Expenditure
In the mid-1990s, health spending amounted to 6% of GDP, one of
the highest levels among developing nations.
The established per capita spending is around Rs 32000 per year
with the major input from private households (75%).
State governments contribute 15.2%, the central government
5.2%, third-party insurance and employers 3.3%, and municipal
government and foreign donors about 1.3, according to a 1995
World Bank study.
Of these proportions, 58.7% goes toward primary health care
(curative, preventive, and promotive) and 38.8% is spent on
secondary and tertiary inpatient care. The rest goes for nonservice
costs.

7 Healthcare in urban India
Behaviors between middle- and upper-class
citizens from the four largest metros in India -
Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata, and Mumbai - appear to
vary widely.
In general, those in Chennai appear to be more
“westernized” in their attitude towards medical
treatment.
Those in Kolkata appear to have a strong relationship
with their healthcare provider but are generally more
traditional in their attitudes towards medical treatment.

Those in Delhi are most likely to have a positive view
of medical care in India but also tend to be more
traditional in their attitudes towards medical
treatment.
Finally, those in Mumbai are most likely to have a
negative view on healthcare in India and also appear
to have a weak relationship with their healthcare
providers.

8 Primary services
Primary health centers are the cornerstone of the
rural health care system.
By 1991, India had about 22,400 primary health
centers, 11,200 hospitals, and 27,400 clinics.
These facilities are part of a tiered health care system
that funnels more difficult cases into urban hospitals while
attempting to provide routine medical care to the vast
majority in the countryside.
Primary health centers and sub centers rely on trained
paramedics to meet most of their needs.

9 Health Insurance
The majority of the Indian population is unable to
access high quality healthcare provided by private
players as a result of high costs.
Many are now looking towards insurance companies
for providing alternative financing options so that they
too may seek better quality healthcare.
The opportunity remains huge for insurance providers
entering into the Indian healthcare market since75% of
expenditure on healthcare in India is still being met by
‘out-of-pocket’consumers.

10 Medical Tourism
India is becoming a location for medical
tourists seeking health care at lower costs than in
other countries.

11 Rate of growth
India has approximately 600,000 allopathic doctors
registered to practice medicine.
This number however, is higher than the actual
number practicing because it includes doctors who
have emigrated to other countries as well as doctors
who have died.
India licenses 18,000 new doctors a year.
