How can we maximize health returns through increasing financial resources for Health?

Public expenditure on health at the end of the 11th Plan period was at 1.04% of GDP. Additionally, 70% of total expenditure on health is out of pocket. Studies show that out of pocket expenditure on health in India may be contributing to increase in poverty by approximately 3.6% for rural areas and 2.9% for urban areas. Public health spending in India remains among the lowest among comparable countries. It is clear that there is a need to raise more resources for health. Since spending on health need not only be through central government allocations, novel methods for raising additional funds must also be explored. Please view the detailed paper Working Paper 2/2015- Increasing Financial Resources for Health and provide your suggestions on additional methods for increasing resources for health.

Low premium health insurance models could be introduced in a largely young population. Funding for healthcare should not rely on govt funds/subsidies as it might increase future entitlement burden like what has happened in US and Europe. Education about ayurvedic and home remedies should be provided as the first line of defence against minor ailments. For eg. garlic+turmeric+honey is very useful against viral infections as it is anti-viral as opposed to just symptom relieving store medicines.

Launch scheme like Swasthye Bharat. Let people take national compulsory scheme from bank account. Every rural & urban human should know benefit of health insurance. We have 120 crore population, we dont need foreign fund if we invest in health.

The best way of Promotion of Information and Communication Technology systems in school and adult education is to allot all the possible allocable opportunities of learning and promoting to the privileged reservation categories and corrupt, selfish persons, like chaiwalas who fulfill their dreams "around the world" at the cost of nation's money, shot slogans of good doing to the poor.

We always face a situation where the shopkeeper is unable to give the balance amount of small money due to non availability of ‘change’ and subsequently settling with some toffee or leaving the money at all. The magnitude of such ‘give-up’ is huge and unaccounted. If such ‘give-up’ money is transferred to individual’s adhaar linked bank account by a swiping machine held with the shopkeeper even after provisioning small % to shopkeeper, it will go a long way towards saving and accountability
