Sir,
Refer news item ‘Prez concerned over low expenditure on health DE Sept 11.
Government(s) both at State and Center level should make a concerted effort to provide healthcare to people in the country. Indian masses particularly those living in far flung areas do not have access to quality health care. The people in these areas depend on quales or lower rung of paramedical staff for their medical needs. Though many schemes have been launched in this direction, their results have not yet perlocated down fully. In urban areas, every sort of facility is available to people but it comes at a great cost which at times is not affordable to low income groups. There is urgent need that Government spend a good sum of money on health care by opening more PHCs and equipping them with latest machinery. Health Insurances schemes also be formulated for the downtrodden section of the society to enable them avail quality healthcare.
Yours etc……
