Synopsis

Health and socioeconomic development are so closely intertwined that is impossible to achieve one without the other. Without health, development is not possible and without development, health is not sustainable. While the economic development in India has been gaining momentum over the last decade, our health system is at crossroads today. Despite the government initiatives in public health, such as well planned medical strategies which are administered under appropriate authorities, significant technical skills in many fields and an extensive network of public health institutions for research, training and diagnostics, the public health facilities available to the citizens are not satisfactory. The Indian health system is ranked 112 among 191 WHO member countries on overall health performance.
