This book describes the present awful state of India's Public Health
Care Delivery, its dismal planning and implementation. It argues that it
can be remedied comprehensively and effectively, using its 'own already
present' resources. A radical re-evaluation of some sacrosanct ideas and
discarding many of these, especially in Primary Care and its structure
is required. It can be done without disadvantage to the last man served.
This book starts with the sea change India has undergone and emphasizes
new ways of managing health. High quality work force creation and its
deployment, an unsolved problem is effectively given a solution. The
bulk of the book discusses the entire public health care structure and
function and how it can be newly laid out with proper work force
allocation, hitherto grossly inadequate, including professionals from
other training backgrounds. It is total solution that will help India to
achieve the goal of Universal Health Care.
