Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 12
Abstract
In terms of health, India is presently in a state of transition economically, demographically, and epidemiologically. Whereas the last decade has seen extraordinary economic development particularly in terms of gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate, unfortunately this progress is accompanied by growing disparities between the rich and the poor. There is strong evidence to suggest that this income inequality or disparity between the different socioeconomic classes is associated with worse health outcomes. Widening the gap between the rich and the poor has damaging health and social consequences. While financial inclusion and social security measures are being implemented by the Government to bridge economic inequalities, health sector too must ensure that health disparities between and among social and economic classes are also addressed adequately. As the statistics of WHO, hospital admissions about 47% in rural areas and 31% in urban areas respectively, were financed by loans and sale of assets. WHO state, 3.2% Indians will fall below the poverty line because of high medical bills. Nearly 70% of Indians spend their whole income on healthcare and purchasing drugs. In India, Health insurance sector has witnessed a sea-change recently. Due to high charges of medical treatment induced the public to think about health insurance plans. As health is an important lacking any medical coverage people use their earnings and assets to cover medical costs. While it discussed the public are lack in receiving their health care and meeting challenges in their day to life.
