Healthcare in India
● History of Indian Healthcare :
Aarogya as “Holistic well being”.....
● Contrasts in rural and urban areas :
The Indian healthcare scenario presents a spectrum of contrasting landscapes. At
one end of the spectrum are the glitzy steel and glass structures delivering high tech
medicare to the well-heeled, mostly urban Indian.....
● During the last forty years, India has made progress
in improving the health and well-being of its
inhabitants.....
● Analysis of structure of healthcare system in India :
The healthcare system is organised into primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. At
the primary level are Sub Centres and Primary Health Centres (PHCs). At the secondary
level there are Community Health Centres (CHCs) and smaller Sub-District hospitals.
Finally, the top level of public care provided by the government is the tertiary level,
which consists of Medical Colleges and District/General Hospitals.....
 Hierarchy :
Sub Centre
A Sub Centre is designed to serve extremely
rural areas with the expenses fully covered by
the national government. Mandates require
health staff to be at least two workers (male and
female) to serve a population of 5000 people .
5 A Community Health Centre is also funded by
Medical Colleges and
Institutions
All India Institutes of Medical Sciences is
owned and controlled by the central
government. These are referral hospitals with
specialized facilities. .
Primary Health Centres
Primary Health Centres exist in more
developed rural areas of 30,000 or more
(20,000 in remote areas) and serve as larger
1 health clinics staffed with doctors and
paramedics. Patients can be referred from local
sub centres to PHCs for more complex cases. .

Community Health Centres
state governments and accepts patients
referred from Primary Health Centres. It serves
120,000 people in urban areas or 80,000
people in remote areas.

District Hospitals
District Hospitals are the final referral centres
for the primary and secondary levels of the
public health system. It is expected that at
least one hospital is in each district of India,
although in 2010 it was recorded that only 605
hospitals exist when there are 640 districts.
Healthcare of India in global face
● HAQ index hastened from 2000 to 2016
● The gap between the country's highest and lowest scores
widened :
23·4-point difference in 1990, and 30·8- point difference in 2016
● It said that Goa and Kerala had the highest scores in
2016, each exceeding 60 points, whereas Assam and
Uttar Pradesh had the lowest, each below 40.
● India lags behind China (48), Sri Lanka (71),
Bangladesh ( 133) and Bhutan (134) while its health
index was better than Nepal (149), Pakistan (154) and
Afghanistan (191).
● India 145th among 195 countries in healthcare access,
quality according to a Lancet study.
The study used an index to measure the quality and accessibility of healthcare,
based on 32 causes of death which should be preventable with effective
medical care. Each of the 195 countries and territories assessed were given a
score between 0-100.In 2016, India's healthcare access and quality scored at
41.2 (up from 24.7 in 1990).

Health is wealth. Healthcare in India is at the
crossroads with the government rolling out
the biggest publicly funded healthcare plan in
the world and clamping down on prices of
medical devices, even as global investments
are pouring into tertiary care.
