The new health policy will be for ordinary citizens
by Atul Jaiswal BloggerAfter waiting for nearly 15 years, India's new national
health policy has been introduced in the cabinet. But will this policy be able
to provide the necessary healthcare to a large population of the country, the
question remains.
Providing essential healthcare to the large population in
India and setting up an active framework of treatment, supervision and healthy
diet in the field of health is a major challenge. Of course, in this health
policy it has been identified that what has to be done, but the question of who
and how the question goes two steps forward. That is, there is a lack of a
concrete practical plan that can fulfill the basic purpose of the policy.
Earlier, the health policies of 1983 and 2002 used to be
part of the five-year plan of the then governments. In this policy, it has been
reported that in India, the health of the health service provider system is to
be corrected. This requires a strong health care industry. But the question is,
if this basic service is being developed as an industry, then what will be the
place of the poor, disadvantaged sections of the country and the inhabitants of
inaccessible areas in this country.
Due to lack of budget from the Central Government, its
financial crisis of the states and financial mismanagement, the absence of
human resources and the deterioration and inaction of the available resources,
lack of equipment or lack of supervision, managerial inefficiencies, training
and sluggish efforts of development The public health machinery is in a way
awry condition. The effect of which is on the overall health of the citizens of
the country. Especially the situation of women and children is worrying.
Certain emergency services are being operated in the states, but they have no
intrusion in public-private partnership and reaching them are not easy for
ordinary people. Despite huge expenditure, people go to five-star private
hospitals, due to their own compulsions and unbelief in government hospitals.
In this regard, the mention of a small country like Cuba
will be relevant, which has brought its medical and health facilities to the
forefront of the world. Cuba has dealt with health care with public
participation, public awareness and civil rights. Today, the doctors and
nursing staff in the world are in the shadows, because the reason is that they
have not been transformed into a profitable machine even after being successful
in the industry. These responsibilities have been ensured here. Which we see
lacking in countries like India.
The issues related to access to health services of women in
the policy document of National Health Policy have been mentioned in a
superficial manner. Gender-based violence, emergency services and preparations
for disaster, determining spatial methods of treatment, thinking on psychiatric
matters, increasing the life expectancy target from 67.5 to 2025, and
increasing the state's health budget - public There are also many issues
related to health, which are almost untouched in the new health policy. They
are discussed but they are inadequate.
Figures released by the Registrar General of India, released
in December 2016 show that the infant mortality rate (IMR) in the country has decreased
to 37 in 2015, 41 in rural areas and 25 in urban areas. But this is inadequate.
The Millennium goal was of 27 but failed in that too. What is interesting is
that the above figure is just 21 big states. Other small states and Union
Territories are not in it. According to World Health Organization data, the
health reasons for which people die in India are about 12 percent of those who
die from heart diseases. After this there are deaths due to diseases like
diarrhea, shortness of breath and tuberculosis. There are many such
non-governmental and official figures which, in some cases, show the bright
aspect of the picture, there are many cases which make them shine.
Some recent voluntary studies show that the primary health
centers are built in rural areas but these centers are not guaranteed to
protect citizens' healthcare quality. Similarly, the degree doctor is a doctor,
but his relation with his knowledge of practical knowledge and everyday
practice is also needed to see this. India has not created a huge consumer
market of antibiotic consumption. The practice of giving antibiotics to
patients is given as an easy and effective remedy for every merge. The second
thing is that the results of the study of health among the citizens are
scattered, one should create a centralized system where every data related to
health and nutrition is available, and then its preparations should be prepared
for the forthcoming preparations.
