take action to prevent the spread of diseases
such as TB, malaria, jaundice, cholera,

Healthcare and equality:

# Private services are increasing but public services are not.
.
# Private services are concentrated in urban areas.
services is rather high. Medicines are expensive.
# Encourage incorrect practices to earn more.. For
example, prescribe COSTLY medicines, injections or saline
when simple medication may W0RK.
# In fact, barely 20 per cent of the population can
afford all the medicines that they require during an illness.

16. Healthcare and equality:

# Many tribal areas have few health centers
# 40 percent of people who are admitted to a
hospital have to borrow money or sell to pay for
the expenses
#They are not provided basic necessities like
drinking water, adequate housing,
clean surroundings.
# Women’s health concerns are considered to be less
important than the health of men in the family.

17. What can be done?
The health situation of most people in our country
is not good.
It is the responsibility of the government to provide
quality healthcare services to all its citizens,
especially the poor and the disadvantaged.
However, health is as much dependent on basic
amenities and social conditions of the people.
Hence, it is important to work on both in order to
improve the health situation of our people.

education, water, the working of schools and

hospital beds, enough doctors –
needed to be addressed
