Health

"He who has health has hope and he who has hope has everything" –
A proverb India has made rapid strides in the health sector since independence. However, various eye-opening data from NFHS indicate that access to healthcare remains a challenge. While the health statistics of rural India continue to be poor, the health status and access to health for the poor in urban slum dwellers has surfaced to be equally deplorable and have less than 4% of government primary healthcare facilities. Poor people suffer from adverse health conditions owing to mainly two reasons – first the lack of education and thus lack of awareness; and second the unwillingness to lose a day’s wage to reach the nearest medical facility. Healthcare for the underprivileged, which is a desperate need, thus remains unaddressed. From healthcare to appropriate social behavior, to understanding one's rights.
