All villages must have a mid-wife paid for by the Government to reduce infant mortality. Traffic rules must be systematically and ruthlessly enforced with heavy fines for serious violations. Garbage bins must be installed in all major streets and public areas and littering must be punished with fines.

Robust telemedicine service 5. Stress quality assurance and make doctors, health team and hospital accountable 6. Make provision of medical records easy so that they can get a second opinion and reduce cost from repeat testing 7. Use overseas and indigenous talent using IT effectively

One of the most disappointing fact is that we Indians (including government) ignore the most fundamentally sound medical system - Ayurveda. A serious policy issue is Insurance Companies (including public sector cos.) do NOT offer TRUE coverage for Ayurvedic treatment. They say they do but ONLY if patient attended a govt. ayurvedic hospital. Why such discrimination against our own medical system? This is pathetic and must be fixed if we truly care about health of Indians.

I am a clinical toxicologist and I would like to see the Govt. taking steps to clean up the toxic waste affecting the health of the nation. This can be done by decreasing toxic waste entering water, land and air. Also I would like to see the banning of the sale of toxic insecticides which are used for suicide by farmers.
