Beyond the writeup: Issues with public health in India

      Beyond the writeup: Issues with public health in India       






Poor understanding: Public health is essentially multi-disciplinary and means different things to different people. Many have a poor understanding of it and they are not able to differentiate between public health as a discipline and the public health sector.


Lack of specific competencies: It is common for heads of health services at national, state or district levels in India to be orthopaedic or cardiac surgeons or ophthalmologists who have no training in public health. This is because it is felt that public health does not require specific competencies.


Qualification related issues: Historically in India, public health has been medicalised as it was largely a medical college-driven discipline. This has resulted in denying nursing, dental, and other health professionals to contribute more to public health. 


Other challenges: India lacks affordable health care services for the marginalised sections, Lack of robust public health infrastructures like hospitals, primary health centres, Lack of number of Doctors and Specialists as per the population of the country, Lack of awareness among the people, etc.
