State-specific healthcare model.
The public-private partnership approach is a suggestion forwarded by Niti Aayog to tackle the problems of the primary medical sector.
The public healthcare unfortunately, has remained in unenviable state.
Amid this, the Niti Aayog has pitched for Public Private Partnership (PPP) model to improve health services in the country against the back drop of dismal performance of public hospitals at district levels.
Despite the State Government’s spending, the hospital services have not improved the way these should.
Economic deprivation in a large segment of population results in poor access to healthcare.
The States also add to this; but it is too inadequate for the 125 crore people.
The benefits in a PPP model go to the so-called service providers.
Unless India produces more doctors, whether for the public or private sector, healthcare delivery will not improve.
No way can it be a PPP model to burden the users.
