Eforts to improve the quality of health care in India and attempts to

31. ď˘ Initiate transparency by accreditation of Hospitals
and health care providers
To bring about quality in healthcare, transparency is
imperative. For this, a system needs to be put in place that
gives accreditation to hospitals, arming patients with in-
depth and accurate information about a hospital
and its services. Patients, once they rate and review
hospitals, based on various parameters, can pass on
knowledge and their experience related to the doctors,
facilities and treatments costs etc.

program designed to control the size of its population.
Distinct from the family planning policies of most other
countries (which focus on providing contraceptive
options to help women have the number of children they
want), it set a limit on the number of children parents
could have, the world's most extreme example ofÂ
population planning. But, it was disregarded.

companies; adequate funds from foundations and bilateral donors to
deliver these donated drugs; efective global health partnerships;
efective systems of delivery; and good governance can help make
these diseases history
2. The community-directed treatment approach The community-directed
treatment(CDT) approach has been implemented across 50 000
communities in Africa and is one of the most successful innovations in
creating community ownership and building program sustainability.
Communities in hyper-endemic infectious disease areas identify amongst
themselves those who will be responsible for community-directed drug
distributions, organizing distribution according to their own cultural norms
and organizational structures

environment in public institutions such as hospitals, schools,
workplaces and nursing homes, to enable lower sodium options

41. ď˘ Fair fnancing of the costs of health care is an issue in equity and it
has two aspects how much is spent by Government on publicly
funded health care and on what aspects? And secondly how huge
does the burden of treatment fall on the poor seeking health care?
Health spending in India at 6% of GDP is among the highest levels
estimated for developing countries. In per capita terms it is higher
than in China Indonesia and most African countries but lower than in
Thailand.

44. ď˘ In spite of NCHRH being stalled, there is still a glimmer
of hope. The Clinical Establishments (Registration and
Regulation) Act, 2010 (the Act) has been enacted by
the Central Government to provide for registration and
regulation of all clinical establishments in the country
establishments from the public and private sectors, of
all recognised systems of medicine including single
doctor clinics (the only exception will be
establishments run by the Armed forces), with a view
to prescribing the minimum standards of facilities and
services provided by them.

47. ď˘ Improving infrastructure is very important and this
does not entail building large, shiny state-of-art
hospitals. Most hospitals don't even have basic
facilities such as water supply, electricity, and not
even simple pain killers. Emergency units too, are
not well equipped to handle any emergency
treatment, and the unavailability of doctors at odd
hours at ERs is a huge problem that needs to be
addressed.

areas for early diagnosis and planned preventive strategies. Such as
