How can the Indian government enhance healthcare access for the poor

Discuss the measures the Indian government should undertake to improve healthcare services for the poor.
The Indian Government can enhance healthcare access for the poor in the following ways:
  • Increasing budget allocation: The Government needs to allocate more budget towards healthcare facilities in the country to improve the accessibility and affordability of healthcare services.
  • Strengthening primary healthcare: There is a need to strengthen primary healthcare centres in rural and urban areas by providing adequate infrastructure and resources to handle medical emergencies.
  • Expanding health insurance: The government should expand health insurance coverage to the poor and vulnerable sections of society to reduce out-of-pocket expenses for medical treatment.
  • Encouraging private sector participation: The government can encourage private sector participation by offering subsidies and tax benefits to set up medical facilities in underserved areas.
  • Promoting preventive healthcare: The government should focus on promoting preventive healthcare, which includes regular check-ups and vaccinations, to reduce the burden of communicable and non-communicable diseases.
These measures will go a long way in improving healthcare access and quality for the poor and underserved sections of society in India.
