A quick tour into the evolution of

health care services in India

Evolution of health care in India

Phase I (1947-83)- when the health policy was based on two principles:

that none should be denied care for want of ability to pay, andthat it was the state's responsibility to provide health care to the people.

Phase II (1983-2000)- when the first National Health Policy of 1983 articulated the

need to encourage private initiative in health care service delivery, while at the same

time expanding access to publicly funded comprehensive primary health care.

Phase III (post-2000)-which is witnessing a further shift that has the potential to

profoundly affect the health sector in three important ways:

the desire to utilize private sector resources for addressing public health goals;liberalization of the insurance sector to provide new avenues for health

financing; and

Redefining the role of the state from being only a provider to a financier of

health services as well.

Medical Insurance

Insurance is a mechanism by which the losses of a few are met

through contributions from many. It is a method of dealing with

fortuitous events resulting in a financial loss. Thus 'Health

Insurance' aims as taking care of health related expenditure.

To fall in line with the spirit of 'Insurance', health insurance isrestricted to financing of curative rather than preventive

expenditure.

Secondly, health insurance is subject to strict principle of

indemnity, where the person is indemnified with the amountwhich he has actually spent/incurred.
