Political Economy Context A democratic federal system which is subdivided into 28 States, 7 union territories and 593 districts
In most of the states three local levels of government (Panchayati-raj)
Per capita income US $440
![Page 5: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Health Scenario435 million Indians are estimated to live on less than US $ 1 a day
36% of the total number of the worlds’ poor are in India
Tax based health finance system with health insurance
![Page 6: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Health Scenario 80% health care expenditure born by patients and their families as out-of -pocket payment (fee for service and drugs)
Expenditure on health care is second major cause of indebtedness among rural poor

Government Health SystemThree levels of responsibilities-
-First- -health is primarily a state responsibility
![Page 11: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
-Second- - the central government is responsible for developing and monitoring national standards and regulations
- sponsoring various schemes for implementation by state governments
- providing health services in union territories
![Page 12: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
-Third- -both the centre and the states have a joint responsibility for programmes listed under the concurrent list.
![Page 13: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Administrative Structure1. Central Ministries of Health and
Family Welfare – - Responsible for all health related programmes - Regulatory role for private sector 2. State Ministries of Health and Family
Welfare 3. District Health Teams headed by
Chief Medical and Health Officer

Service Delivery StructureSub Health Centres- staffed by a trained female health worker and/or a male health worker for a population of 5000 in the plains and a population of 3000 in hilly and tribal areas.
![Page 15: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Primary Health Centres- staffed by a medical officer and other paramedical staff for a population of 30,000 in the plains and a population of 20,000 in hilly, tribal and backward areas. A PHC centre supervises six to eight sub centres.
![Page 16: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Service Delivery StructureCommunity health centres- with 30-50 beds and basic specialities covering a population of 80,000 to 120,000.
The CHC acts as a referral centre for four to six PHCs.
![Page 17: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
District/General hospitals- at district level with multi speciality facilities (City dispensaries) Medical colleges, All India institute of Medical Sciences and quasi government institutes (NIHFW and SIHFWs)
![Page 18: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Health Financing MechanismsRevenue generation by
taxOut of pocket payments or direct payments
Private insuranceSocial insuranceExternal Aid supported schemes
![Page 19: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Spending on HealthAnnually over 150,000 crores or US$34 billion, which is 6% of GDP (Government spending on health Is only 0.9% of GDP)
![Page 20: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Out of this only 15 % is publicly financed 4% from social insurance, 1% by private insurance remaining 80% is out of pocket spending ( 85% of which goes in private sector)
![Page 21: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Only 15% of the population is in organised sector and has some sort of social security the rest is left to the mercy of the market
![Page 22: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The Aspects of Neoliberal Economic Reforms Affecting Public Health
Increasing unregulated privatisation of the health care sector with little accountability to patients
Cutting down government Health care expenditure
![Page 23: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Systematic deregulation of drug prices resulting in skyrocketing prices of drugs and rising cost of health services
![Page 24: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Selective intervention approach instead of comprehensive pry. health care
Measure diseases in terms of cost effectiveness
Techno centric approach (emphasis on content instead processes)
![Page 25: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Contradictions India has the largest numbers of medical colleges in the world
It produces the largest numbers of doctors among developing countries
It gets “medical Tourists” from developed countries
This country is fourth largest producer of drugs by volume in the world
![Page 26: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
But... the current situation….Only 43.5% children are fully immunised.
79.1% of children from 6 months to 5 years of age are anaemic.
56.1% ever married women aged 15-49 are anemic.
![Page 27: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Infant Mortality Rate is 58/1000 live births for the country with a low of 12 for Kerala and a high of 79 for Madhya Pradesh.Maternal Mortality Rate is 301 for the country with a low of 110 for Kerala and a high of 517 for UP and Uttaranchal in the 2001-03 period.
![Page 28: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Two thirds of the population lack access to essential drugs.
80% health care expenditure born by patients and their families as out-of -pocket payment (fee for service and drugs)
Health inequalities across states, between urban and rural areas, and across the economic and gender divides have become worse
Health, far from being accepted as a basic right of the people, is now being shaped into a saleable commodity
![Page 29: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Contd….
poor are being excluded from health services
Increased indebtedness among poor
(Expenditure on health care is second major cause of Indebtedness among rural poor)
![Page 30: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Difference across the economic class spectrum and by gender in the untreated illness has significantly increased
Cutbacks by poor on food and other consumptions resulting increased illnesses and increasing malnutrition
![Page 31: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Some definitions to remember:Equality = samenessInequality = unequalEquity = fairnessInequity = unfair or unjust
![Page 32: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Equity in health care
Health inequalities are endemic in society. Where a person is born influences how long they will live.
The inverse care law states that the availability of good medical care tends to vary inversely with the need for it in the population served
Attempts to reduce health inequalities form a major part of recent and current health policy. These are largely focused on reducing geographical inequalities (variations) in health outcomes and provision as well as inequalities relating to different groups within society.
![Page 33: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Measuring health inequalities Measuring health need (measuring
demand through health needs assessment- see section ‘Participatory needs assessment’)
Measuring access to health care (measuring supply - see section ‘Measures of supply and demand’) health care use eg avoidable admissions, barriers to admission eg waiting lists, patients’ perceptions of healthcare provision
Measuring quality of health care
![Page 34: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Gini co-efficient adapted from World Bank The Lorenz curve (B) plots the share of cumulative income enjoyed by the relative share of the population – on the curve shown below 40% of the population obtains 20% of the total income. Curve (A) is the line of total equality whereby 40% of the population obtain 40% of the total income. The difference between the 2 curves, Gini- coefficient, indicates the degree of inequality of distribution. A co-efficient of 0 reflects complete equality whilst 1 indicates complete inequality.
![Page 35: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Equity in Healthcare Many factors influence health including
genetic factors, meaning that complete equality of health is never achievable. Equalising health can be considered as paternalistic because it does not allow for individual preferences such as the choice to smoke. Aristotle’s formal theory of distributive justice makes the distinction between vertical and horizontal equity: horizontal equity refers to equity between people with the same health care needs, whilst vertical equity refers to those with unequal needs should receive different or unequal health care.[

Health InequitiesThe infant mortality Rate in the poorest 20% of the population is 2.5 times higher than that in the richest 20% of the population
![Page 37: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
A child in the ‘Low standard of living’ economic group is almost four times more likely to die in childhood than a child in a better of high standard living group
![Page 38: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
A person from the poorest quintile of the population, despite more health problems, is six times less likely to access hospitlisation than a person from richest quintile.
![Page 39: India healthsystem](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022051608/5454f676af795998788b463e/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Health Inequities A girl is 1.5 times more likely to die before reaching her fifth birthday
The ratio of doctors to population in rural areas is almost six times lower than that for urban areas.
Per person, government spending on public health is seven times lower in rural areas compared to government spending urban areas
