  1. Healthcare needs to be Affordable for the Poor We need to build communities that provide affordable healthcare for the poor people of our society. To know how, keep reading.

  2. Health care is a broad term and includes diagnosis and treatment of diseases and ailments. health care means taking care of the physical and mental well-being of human beings.

  3. There is no hospital in a radius of ten kilometers in most of the rural belts. In many, villages there are no private qualified doctor. For minor ailments, the villagers do not normally go to a doctor, but for major problems like heart ailments, appendicitis, kidney infection, they have to shift the patient to a hospital in a nearby city which may be miles away.

  4. The condition of government hospitals in cities is not unknown to anybody. Beds are not available for patients who can be seen lying outside the wards which are crowded with admitted patients. Poor villagers cannot afford to go for treatment in a private hospital or clinic. They are just beyond their reach.

  5. Nursing homes should be opened in the rural areas to look after the needs of pregnant women and infants. Immunisation programmes should be launched through these nursing homes. With the increase in literacy rate, the rural people are becoming health conscious. The government must supplement it with more rural health care schemes.
