  • Essay / The health system - 1865

    1. Introduction to the health system. OverviewConventionally, India is a rural and agricultural economy. Three quarters of the population live in rural areas.

India's healthcare system faces significant challenges such as the need to reduce infant mortality rates, provide health insurance and raise public awareness. The private healthcare sector in India is very influential in both rural and urban India and holds a monopoly on curative services and hospital care. After independence, India's most notable achievement in public health care was the decline in mortality rates. In 1951, life expectancy was 37 years, but it increased to 65 years in 2011. In recent years, public health spending has increased by almost 15% of total health-related costs. In summary, there has been progress in health status, particularly in terms of life expectancy. Public health expenditure in India is very low (0.9%) relative to GDP, while in developed countries like the United States and Germany it is 5% or more of GDP and in others Asian countries such as China and South Korea, they represent almost 3%. It is quite remarkable that India, which is considered internationally as an economic powerhouse and a success story of economic growth over the last decade, has health expenditure of less than 1 percent of the GDP. Health is a major concern for the Indian government. The majority of spending comes from the private sector, which accounts for more than 90% of total health spending.
