| | JUNE 20209health could be a utopian dream, it might be achieved by proper treatment of existing illness and working simultaneously towards preventive health.It has been seen that in India, the normal government expenditure makes for just 18 percent and the rest 82 percent is private expenditure. Which is an inadequate way to finance health care that leaves people highly exposed?Our country requires to devise its own set of preparatory methods for meeting the three basic goals of a healthcare system. They are keeping people healthy, treating the sick and safeguarding families against financial damage incurred from medical bills. Though presently there are schemes such asAyushman Bharat Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana and Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Yojana that address the weaker sections of the society, the out-of-pocket model followed in India is not an adequate model of healthcare, which further burdens the citizens of this country, when compared to the various healthcare models used in the bigger nations,Furthermore, there is a serious requirement to include the outlook of preventive healthcare and focus on decreasing the diseases rather than increasing the quantity of doctors and hospitals in current healthcare system outlook.

Tangible goals can be achieved towards these two wider aspects of health by working towards strong implementation of hand wash awareness programs and making toilets viable for each family.Lastly, health is most adversely hit by policies made in non-health sectors. For the Ministry of Health, Government of India and the health ministries of all the States, to work towards reaching the goal of sustainability in healthcare, the disease prevention, and eradication policies needs population-wide interventions. This is hugely beyond the power of the Health Ministry alone and needs health in all policies method.In terms of nutrition, the nu-trition status of the most vulner-able age group of children is also a sensitive indicator of human development and the impacts of national socio-economic devel-opment strategies. The Global Nutrition Report 2015 suggests that for investment in nutrition, there is a benefit cost between 16:1 for 40 low and middle-in-come countries. Nutrition is key to achieve both national and global sustainable targets. THERE IS A SERIOUS REQUIREMENT TO INCLUDE THE OUTLOOK OF PREVENTIVE HEALTHCARE AND FOCUS ON DECREASING THE DISEASES RATHER THAN INCREASING THE QUANTITY OF DOCTORS AND HOSPITALS IN CURRENT HEALTHCARE SYSTEM OUTLOOK
