health schemes is by the state administrations . The individual states have tried to do their bit . The states such as Karnataka , Andhra Pradesh , Goa and even Delhi have tried to build the better public healthcare infrastructure . But needless to say , we require much more .
There are existing traditional routes to reach out to rural population . The indigenous system needs to be integrated with the allopathy .
The technologies of course are expensive and the private healthcare providers spend a lot on getting them to India . Hence , they have to recover the costs to keep them running as there is no subsidy on this by the government . While are also not asking for any subsidy but the support to build the infrastructure from the government is rightly expected . The healthcare industry is different from other sectors .
Unfortunately , it is the Indian elite section that tends to oppose the natural system of medicine . What does such opposition exist in first place ?
Opposition is at the technical level . Need to give a direction to this as we can ’ t ignore the fact that huge chuck on Indian population has been using the traditional form of healing on a regular basis .
I am not saying that the natural medicine practitioners could do surgery but they can play a role in spreading the word around if involved . Rather than ignoring or sidelining , it is best to utilize their vast network .
What are your expectations from the government ?
