Health Care in Developing Countries: Change and Challenge

Tabish S. A.

Abstract :

Standards of health profoundly influence economic performance and quality of life. The past six decades have witnessed enormous gains in medical science in developing countries. However, the epidemiological statistics present a mixed picture. Many infectious diseases are on the retreat because of improved sanitation, nutrition, drugs, and vaccines and life expectancies are rising. Urbanization could decrease the incidence of water born and parasitic diseases if it improves access to clean water and better sewerage. Major progress has been made in improving the health of millions of people, increasing life expectancy, reducing maternal and child mortality, and the fight against the most dangerous communicable diseases. Transformation of Primary Health Care is a top priority that has to be viant. To see real progress in health for all Indians including those who need it most, lot more needs to be done. The public must come to trust the public health system if it is to serve them. Indians continues to have out–of–pocket expenses for health services, driving many struggling households back into poverty and debt. People are demanding better public services, and they expect that health services are going to improve in the coming years. There is a need to strengthen the link between health insurance, private health care providers, and the public, whether they live in cities or far beyond them.
