Fiinovation Reviews Healthcare in India

• Fiinovation, Fiinovation Delhi

• A recent report suggests that India is the
  poorest performer in terms of health among the
  BRICS countries.
• Fiinovation comprehends that India has failed to
  ensure that its citizens are disease free and
  there is access to healthcare facilities for
  them.
• There has been a significant change in the way
  healthcare is being percieved.
• The citizens of this country require assurance of
  health coverage for all to reduce the per capita
  expenditure and increase productivity.

• Experts complains that healthcare expenditure is
  rising year after year and there is no protection
  for the citizens against financial risks linked
  with health expenditures.
• Comparing India with other BRICS nations suggests
  that there is lot of opportunities in the
  healthcare sector and with investments India
  would be able to save millions from dying in the
  years to come.
• Fiinovation believes that the rising healthcare
  costs is acting counter productive and pushing
  millions back into poverty.
• There needs to be safety nets for the poorer
  families helping them have access to healthcare
  facilities.

• In order to provide healthcare facilities to all
  its citizens, India needs to develop adequate
  infrastructure along with technological
  advancements to safeguard lives.
• The nation keeps witnessing incidents of mother
  giving birth on floors, patients being treated by
  sweepers, patient deaths due to electrical
  failure etc.
• These incidences are stark reminder of the urgent
  need of improvement in the whole healthcare
  system.
• Fiinovation reviews that every year India loses
  many children due to lack of immunization, deadly
  diseases and malnutrition. The Indian government
  must take cognizance of these and increase
  healthcare expenditure to save more people.

• Fiinovation understands that the total
  expenditure on health in India has reduced from
  4.5 percent of GDP in 2004-05 to 4 per cent in
  2013-14.
• This means that there is an increased burden on
  the citizens who are already victims of high
  out-of-pocket healthcare expenditures and poor
  quality of care.
• Also, its not as if a small amount of people are
  deprived, rather a large proportion of the
  population is improverished, which is disturbing.

• There is an urgent need to increase the
  availability of doctors and hospitals in this
  country.
• The private sector can play a critical role by
  pouring in investments.
• Even through CSR, the companies can help provide
  access to better healthcare to the marginalised
  sections of the society.
• Some of the important issues that can be
  addressed by CSR is 100 percent immunization and
  100 percent institutional deliveries.
• This two can bring about a dramatic change and
  reduce the number of IMR, MMR rates in India.
