Hello STEEMIT HEALTH Community |

Hello friends this is @yourloveguru from India. Today I am going to participate in this beautiful contest which is organised by @steemdoctor1. The name of this contest is Health care system and Reform in India in this post we have discussed all services about health in India so let's start;
Write about the Public Health Services in your country? |
|---|
Public health services in India are a crucial aspect of the country's healthcare system, responsible for promoting and protecting the health of its citizens. The Indian government, through the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, oversees the implementation of public health programs and services.
One of the primary initiatives of the government in public health is the National Health Mission, which was launched in 2013 and aims to provide accessible and affordable healthcare services to all. The mission covers both rural and urban areas and focuses on improving maternal and child health, controlling communicable diseases, and providing access to essential medicines and vaccines.
In terms of preventive measures, the Indian government runs various immunization programs to protect citizens against communicable diseases such as polio, tuberculosis, and diphtheria.
Is there any helpline issued by the government for the public, in the situations of emergency? |
|---|
Yes, the government of India has issued a national emergency helpline number, "102," for medical emergencies. People can call this number to access ambulance services for transportation to the nearest hospital. In addition, the government also operates the "108" emergency ambulance service in partnership with private providers. This service provides free emergency medical assistance, including transportation to the hospital, to those who cannot afford it.
The "102" and "108" services are available 24/7 and are accessible from anywhere in the country. The government has also launched a mobile app called "108 Arogya Sahayavani" to make it easier for people to access these services. The app provides real-time information on the location and status of ambulances, and also allows users to request an ambulance directly from their smartphones. These public health services are an important aspect of the government's efforts to improve access to quality healthcare for all citizens of India.
Do you think these public health services could be improved? How? |
|---|
Yes, the public health services in India can be improved. Some ways in which these services could be improved include:
Improving infrastructure and facilities in government hospitals and health centers to provide better quality care to patients.
Increasing the number of qualified healthcare professionals, such as doctors and nurses, to meet the growing demand for medical services.
Strengthening the primary healthcare system, including expanding access to essential medicines, vaccines, and diagnostics.
Increasing investment in research and development to improve the quality of healthcare services and find new solutions to public health challenges.
Improving public health education and awareness to promote healthy behaviors and prevent disease.
Which public Health Care Service will you innitate if you were given a chance? |
|---|
If I were given a chance, I would initiate the following public health service:
✅ Community-Based Primary Healthcare: This service would involve setting up primary healthcare centers in underserved and rural communities, with a focus on preventive care and community outreach. This would include services such as immunization, maternal and child health services, and basic diagnostics. The aim would be to provide accessible and affordable healthcare services to those who currently have limited access to medical facilities. This approach would empower communities to take charge of their own health and well-being, and reduce the burden on secondary and tertiary care facilities.
✅ Health education and promotion: The centers would provide health education and promote healthy behaviors to the community, with a focus on disease prevention and healthy living.
Conclusion |
|---|
In conclusion, the public health services in India face a number of challenges, but there is also potential for improvement. Initiatives such as universal health coverage, strengthening the primary healthcare system, improving mental health services, and maternal and child health services can have a positive impact on the health and well-being of the population.
The proposed community-based primary healthcare initiative, with its focus on preventive care, health education and promotion, trained health workers, integration with secondary and tertiary care, and technology integration, could help address some of the challenges facing public health services in India.
These initiatives, when implemented effectively, can help ensure that all citizens have access to quality and affordable healthcare services.
I would like to invite @lavanyalakshman , @fantvwiki , @ngoenyi to participate in this beautiful contest.
Thanks & Regards.
