Navigating the Impact of Government Health Schemes on Indian Healthcare
This abstract highlights the multifaceted impact of government health schemes on Indian healthcare. It discusses the challenges posed by disparities in pricing between government and private healthcare, the dependency of government hospitals on scheme revenue, and ethical concerns arising from revenue-driven targets. It emphasizes the need for careful assessment of scheme pricing to ensure quality service delivery by private enterprises. The Indian Medical Association's proposal for separating scheme funding from hospital finances is advocated as a solution.

Is Indian Healthcare Moving Towards the UK Model?
The transformation of Indian healthcare towards a model resembling the UK system is evident through increased government expenditure, emphasis on digitalization, and the rise of universal health coverage. Government hospitals now operate under performance-based funding, while medical education expands rapidly. Yet, challenges persist, including the exploitation of healthcare professionals and inadequate employment opportunities. Private sector pressures and inconsistencies in fee payments add to these concerns. Despite these obstacles, policymakers must prioritize the welfare of healthcare workers and implement protective measures. As Indian healthcare evolves, it must balance growth with ensuring a supportive environment for professionals and equitable access for all citizens.Mon Feb 26 2024
