Indian govt working on world's largest health insurance scheme

[Rahul9090]

The new Indian government is planning to bring about a "complete transformation" of the health sector and is working on the blueprint of the world's largest universal healthinsuranceprogramme.

This was announced by Health Minister Harsh Vardhan as he read out a speech by Prime Minister Modi to a gathering of US-based Indian medical professionals in San Antonio, Texas, underscoring the need for all citizens to involve themselves in the national endeavour for "HealthyIndia".

"It is my firm belief that our focus needs to go beyond health insurance. The way ahead lies in health assurance. We need to focus on preventive health care where public participation has a major role to play," the Prime Minister said in his address to delegates at the 32nd annual convention of the American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) held in San Antonio.

Modi said the aim of his government is to bring about a "complete transformation" of the health sector through research, innovation and the latest technology.

The AAPI is a professional body of physicians of Indian- origin.

On medical insurance, Harsh Vardhan said that the blueprint of the world's largest universal health insurance programme is in the process of being sharpened under his personal gaze.

It is partially inspired by US President Barack Obama's grand insurance-for-all project which is popularly known as "Obamacare", he said.

"The Prime Minister has authorised me to come up with a brand new policy soon. I need your help to write this all-important document," the Minister said.

The Prime Minister's message also resonated in Harsh Vardhan's address to AAPI members.

He named specific sectors where AAPI members could contribute, like accepting teaching assignments, share knowledge on telemedicine, lend their expertise in fighting disease, help develop model primary health centres, etc.

IMHO, no matter how many schemes they develop and implement...........nothing will benefit the poor/masses until Corruption is eradicated........and the first step to do that is introduce a bill like 'Janlokpal'.........until that is done, everything else is useless......

Crime(in general) is part of civilization......why do we have laws against different crimes then?
A strong law against corruption is the first step...........it's not for nothing the politicians are opposing a strong Lokpal bill.....
It's not for nothing they don't want to make CBI autonomous........

Corruption has become so much ingrained in our society that we're starting to accept it as part and parcel of our life............but not everyone has lost hope........I still believe, by making few(only few) changes in our system we can achieve wonders.....

when Manmohan said, "we do not have magic wand to end corruption", a BJP spokesperson(probably Jaitley) said, "not magic wand but political will is needed to end corruption"
Now BJP is in power.....let's see......
