Hi Doc...this is a good one...people do not really have awareness about the health serives and to add insult to injury the jhola chhap quakes remain unchecked with impunity...UNOWOT...Napolean said..you doctors will have to answer for more lives than us the generals...but the fact reamins tha have we done enough to educate the rural poor of the health services which are legitimately available to them. Good that you took up this issue...congrats.

:| wow...thats quite an eye opener. a lot of people arent really aware of the health services they could avail of, the subsidized ones. the statistics that you’ve provided are shocking! and women being left out goes without saying, in this male dominated society what worse can you expect.

Wrighty said by Rajbir Deswalji andSharmila Chakarvorty ji.We live in a country of paradoxes:
Visit to a Country of Paradoxes—
Let us take you on a visit to a large and interesting country. While
visiting this country, we are especially interested in understanding the health system prevailing there.
We first see that This Country has Considerable Healthcare Resources
• It has the largest number of medical colleges in the world
• It produces among largest numbers of doctors in the developing world. These doctors are exported to many other
countries, and are considered among the best in the world.
• This country gets ’Medical tourists’ from many developed countries reflecting the high standard of medical skill and expertise here. They seek care in its state-of-the-art, high-tech
hospitals which compare with the best in the world.
• Turning to medicines, we find that this country is the fourth
largest producer of drugs by volume in the world and is among the largest exporter of drugs in the world.
Of course, all these resources require
finances. We find that people here do not lag behind in paying and spend a lot on healthcare - more than many other developing countries.
Despite the existence of such impressive
healthcare resources, as we begin to move around and talk to some people in the villages and towns of this country we are surprised to find that -
• Despite all these resources, the majority of citizens have very
limited access to quality Healthcare, and has poor health indicators.Why so?
