Health infrastructure has to be strengthened
Health infrastructure has to be strengthened
The central government's Ayushman Bharat scheme is on the sidelines in several states of North India. The reason is the lack of development of health infrastructure in the average population for decades.
It is the fault of the belief of the welfare state more than the fault of any government. Under which the governments have to waive debts due to immediate pressure, give free electricity to farmers, give free ration to the poor, give tax relief to industrialists, waive off bank debts, due to which long-term health and education facilities are not a priority.
A record 42% of people (3.1 crore) have been allotted cards out of a total population of 8.5 crore in one state. However, only 21 lakh people (7%) received treatment. Due to non-availability of health facilities and indifference of private hospitals towards this scheme, Because this expensive hospital does not want to provide treatment at cheap rates fixed by the government. In another state with a population of 23 crore, only 1.8% (2.19 crore) have become cardholders in four years. But only 16 lakh people have been cured in this scheme.
Quite the opposite South Indian states have 1.56 crore cardholders out of a population of 7.50 crore, Out of which 67 lakh people (ie every second beneficiary) have got free treatment under this scheme. The region and many developed states in western India have a higher percentage of cardholders and treatment for every second cardholder. Governments have to strengthen the health infrastructure.
