Slide 2 :
|
Although there have been some spectacular achievements in the health sector, the overall picture is rather grim. While we have sophisticated world-class tertiary care facilites, our primary healthcare is riddled with problems due to a resource crunch and poor management of manpower and equipment. Communicable diseases, life style diseases, accidents and injuries and newer emerging infections seem to have overwhelmed the healthcare industry. |
|
|
Slide 3 :
|
THE PROBLEM
IMR/MMR is high and not declining fast enough,
especially in rural areas and among the poor.
High and prohibitive out of pocket expenditure makes access of poor people to health services difficult.
Population stabilization is ineffective especially in a
number of EAG States/ CMP districts.
Public health system is on the decline- poor
governance, manpower shortages, ineffective service
delivery.
|
|
|
Slide 4 :
|
THE PROBLEM - II
Involvement of community/PRIs/ local
government/ user groups in health
programmes is weak.
?? Mapping of people’s health needs is not
undertaken leading to people’s needs being
different from what the system has to offer.
?? Convergence at Zila Parishad level is weak –
implications for wider determinants of health. |
|
|
Slide 5 :
|
THE PROBLEM - III
Large non governmental sector meets health
needs of poor - at a price, often unethically,
over prescription, syringe –saline syndrome.
Government programmes have very little to
do with the non – governmental sector even
though it is 4-5 times larger and can improve
indicators/outcomes.

Slide 6 :

The Healthcare Conundrum “There is growing evidence that the current health systems of nations around the world will be unsustainable if unchanged over the next 15 years.
Globally, healthcare is threatened by a confluence of powerful trends – increasing demand, rising costs, uneven quality, misaligned incentives.
If ignored, they will overwhelm health systems, creating massive financial burdens for individual countries and devastating health problems for the individuals who live in them.”

Slide 7 :
|
Heavy burden of patients, lack of medicines and equipment, high absenteeism and shrinking Government funds—these are some of the roadblocks to implementing successful health programmes at primary healthcare centres (PHCs). Are Public Private Partnership (PPP) initiatives a solution to help the Government achieve its development goals of access to healthcare by all? How can such ventures work?
We ask the experts… |
|
|
Slide 8 :
|
Question one ? What is the current status of health care system in India ? |
|
|
Slide 9 :
|
‘Healthcare cannot be the sole responsibility of one sector alone’ |
|
|
Slide 10 :
|
Who & what provides health care in public sector ? |
|
|
Slide 11 :
|
Who & what provides health care in private sector ? |
|
|
Slide 12 :
|
Let’s look at the financials. India’s healthcare spend is nearly 5.2 per cent of the GDP. The annual spend for healthcare delivery is approximately $ 25 billion, of which the Government spends a hefty $ 5 billion or approximately Rs 22,000 crore. What is critical is that this fund must reach the bottom of the pyramid. Basic healthcare itself is at a premium today, considering the poor coverage across the country. |
|
|
Slide 13 :
|
Health of our country who is responsible ? |
|
|
|
|
Slide 15 :
|
The need for public-private partnerships arose against the backdrop of inadequacies on the part of the public sector to provide public good on their own, in an efficient and effective manner, owing to lack of resources and management issues. |

|
|
Slide 20 :
|
How do we involve the alternative medicine practisioners ? OR SHOULD THIS SECTOR BE INVOLVED |
|
|
Slide 21 :
|
CONCERNS ? WHEN EVER THERE IS A PARTNERSHIP THERE ARE CONCERNS
SIDES MAY FEEL CHEATED
SIDES MAY WANT TO DOMINATE
SIDES MAY BE SCARED
SIDES MAY NOT WANT THE OTHER TO STEAL THE LIMELIGHT
ETC ETC ETC |
|
|
Slide 22 :
|
WHAT DO YOU FEEL WILL BE THE COMMON CONCERNS OF THE PRIVATE SECTOR ? |
|
|
Slide 23 :
|
WHAT ABOUT CONCERNS OF PUBLIC SECTOR ? |
|
|
Slide 24 :
|
"Private partnership can function as a tool to improve quality and quantity of services to consumers. The increase in public benefits may be either an increase in capacity to deliver or an increase in the quality of the delivery"
- Dr Alok Roy, Vice PresidentFortis' Centre for Community Initiative,New Delhi |
|
|
Slide 25 :
|
"Healthcare cannot be the sole responsibility of one sector alone. In a country as diverse as ours, resource from all the agencies responsible for healthcare have to chip in. There has to be an alliance for the new vision of health sector"
- Dr Prof PK Dave,Chairman, Advisory BoardRockland Hospital, New Delhi |

Slide 32 :
|
Even though there has been an increase in the resource allocation, because of the rising population and as a percentage of the GDP, allocation has actually dwindled. The State has not been able to provide healthcare for the masses. Even now, 80 per cent of healthcare is under the domain of private sector. |
|
|
Slide 33 :
|
The Government’s primary role should be in good governance, security and law and order, infrastructure, education and healthcare, but the model of delivery needs to be radically changed to being carried out by professionally-managed expert organisations who would be fully accountable for every rupee spent. |
|
|
Slide 34 :
|
THE STRUCTURE
Health is a State subject with a large number
of vertical CSS /Centre funded disease
control programmes, to be delivered through
PHC system
Family Welfare is a concurrent subject with
large GOI financing
Primary health care is a PRI devolved area –
Mandated role of local governments.
|
|
|
Slide 35 :
|
CMP PRIORITIES
Raise public spending on health to 2-3% of
GDP over the next five years.
A national scheme for health insurance for
poor families.
Higher public investment for communicable
diseases/ AIDS.
Village women to be given responsibility for
all development schemes relating to drinking
water, sanitation, primary education, primary
health and nutrition.
|
|
|
Slide 36 :
|
THE CHALLENGE
Investing more in reformed public health
system that allows autonomy to delivery units
Hospital, PHC, CHC, HSC.
Making public health accountable to local
communities with clear service delivery
guarantees from autonomous health delivery
units, even in remote rural regions.
|
|
|
Slide 37 :
|
THE CHALLENGE - II
Using non-governmental sector ( NGOs,
Trusts, private providers) to improve health
outcomes through innovative public-private
partnerships that address equity and quality
service delivery – demand side financing,
ethical practice, community partnership.
|
|
|
Slide 38 :
|
Private partners can widen the coverage of foreign assistance programmes, help in achieving the Government’s development goals and in the formulation of sound projects. They can also assist to improve identification of adequate investments, these being sometimes overestimated by the local authorities, which tend to over dimension physical infrastructure, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and therefore create constraints to the timely deployment of appropriate investments. |
|
|
Slide 39 :
|
State Governments can hand over management of sub-health centres, PHCs, community health centres to private partners under lease agreements. The Govern-ment could also pay annual capitation fee for PHC services provided by the privately-run centre to a declared list of poor residents in the catchments areas. State Governments can also partner with private players to set up and operate a network of diagnostic centres in the states (hub and spoke model) covering their hospitals with appropriate range of diagnostic services on a fee-for-service basis and profit-sharing agreements. |
|
|
Slide 40 :
|
In order to maintain their commitment to protect the underprivileged, the Government can agree to pay on their behalf. Space can be given to the diagnostic services within the Government hospitals or these centres can be set up in the hospital campus or adjoining areas.
These agreements would be for 10-30 years with suitable exit clauses. Collection centres for pathology specimens/samples will be encouraged to be set up in PHCs. |
|
|
Slide 41 :
|
The corporate sector can join hands with the Government at the centre and with various states for a JV to run resource-starved state medical colleges and district hospitals in a more efficient manner. Some of the large industrial houses have their own excellent hospitals, which can extend their services in their districts and surrounding PHCs. These hospitals can also provide health education in these districts and PHCs |
|
|
Slide 42 :
|
Private sector can also provide facilities for training of para-medical personnel – laboratory technicians, nurses, physiotherapists, radiography and radiotherapy technicians. Private sector can also play a pivotal role in improving the environment, sanitation, providing clean water supply preventing air pollution and increasing the green cover. We must empower the community to participate in healthcare as informed and involved partners. Patient education should be an integral part of healthcare. In planning of all hospital operations, community representatives should be a part of all decision-making bodies |
|
|
Slide 43 :
|
‘It is Time 100% Healthcare reaches The Common Man’ It is time 100 per cent of healthcare reaches the common man. Resources are available but need to be spent right. Empirical data does not favour with Government's ability to deliver. Time is ripe to initiate PPP in India as the answer to get to the bottom of the problem and the pyramid. |
