Synopsis

The health sector reforms initially touted as the World Bank's prescription and hence roundly rejected by the concerned scholars, have slowly but gradually started gaining grounds in India. Indeed, some of the reform measures adopted in a few states had preceded 1991 economic reforms. The objective of this book is to capture the various strands of reforms which had started unfolding since the late 1980s itself. Following the case study method, this volume also looks into the functioning of Rogi Kalyan Samities (RKS) and lady health volunteers, both adapted as critical components of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM), a flagship programme of the UPA government which aims at injecting a new life to the public health care system by strengthening the health infrastructure and providing a functional link between the community and the hospitals. Not only does this volume draw on experiences of some of the states but by offering empirical evidences on some of the successful initiatives it enriches our understanding of the impact of reform measures.
