HEALTH CARE SCENARIO IN INDIA

                  Health of the people is most important aspect of a growing society. Medicine today is trapped between the bureaucracy and the anonymous mechanical &technological development in medical practice, and the human side of illness is reduced to figures and statistics. Health care co-operation, arising from dignity hope and solidarity is aimed at directing positively the natural trends for change. Co-operatives came into existence as autonomous entities with voluntary participation aiming to contribute the welfare of their members. In recent years however the co-operatives are being envisaged as a mechanism to overcome economic barriers in access to health care, despite lack evidence of their cost effectiveness & sustainability. In Gujarat co-operatives has been useful to provide medical care for the general population. But in Kerala health co-operatives could not successfully compete with expanding state health services and private services unless they were managed like private industries. Health care in India is the responsibility of   constituent states and territories of India. The constitution charges every state with raising of level of public health as among it’s primary duties. Providing health care & disease prevention to India’s growing population of more than a billion of people becomes challenging in the face of depleting resources. There are vast disparities in the people’s health even among the different states across the country largely attributed to the resource allocation by the state Governments where some states have been more successful than others
