high in most of the states.

increasing population
• Family planning programs
need to be (re)activated
12. Challenge: Burden of Disease
in the new millenium
India faces the twin epidemic of
1. Continuing/Emerging infectious diseases:
Related to poor implementation of the public health programs
2. Chronic degenerative diseases.
Demographic transition with increase in life expectancy.
13. •Economic deprivation results in poor access to
health care.
•Poor educational leads to non-utilization of health
services and increase in avoidable risk factors.
•Advances in medicine are giving partial
improvement in health indices.
Economic development, Education and
Health

15. Human Development Indicators: A
challenge for all
• Longevity, literacy and GDP (Gross domestic product) per
capita are the main indicators of human development
• Longevity is a measure of state of health,
• Longevity is linked to income and education
• Weakness in health sector has an adverse effect on
longevity
• India ranks low (115th) by HDI (Human development index)
16. High Burden of Disease in India
• Lack of environmental sanitation and safe drinking
water,
• Under-nutrition,
• Poor living conditions, and
• Limited access to preventive and curative health
services
17.

growth
• Full impact of the HIV epidemic and tobacco related diseases is
yet to be felt
19.
20. Health Care in India
• Less Expenditure on health by the Government.
• Not viewed as an investment but as a dead loss!
• Financial constraints cut expenditure on health
• Growth in national income is not enough,
if
No sufficient food, No better access to health and
education: Amartyo K Sen
21. Human health has probably improved more over the
past half century then over the previous three
millennia.
Despite the increasing devastating impact that HIV/AIDS
in south east Asia, it is likely that, overall, human health
will continue to improve steadily during the coming
decades.
22. • Almost everywhere, the poor suffer poor health and
the very poor suffer appallingly (very badly).
• Gap in health between rich and poor remains very
wide.
• Gap in health will have dire consequences for the
global economy, for social order and justice.
