Slide 1-

Health Care in Developing Countries: Challenges and Opportunities 1. Dr. Paras K. Pokharel Associate Professor of Community Medicine BP Koirala Institute of Health Sciences, Dharan, Nepal 2. Prof. JN Pande, HoD, Medicine 3. Prof. LM Nath, Former Director, Professor & Head, Centre for Community Medicine All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi
Slide 2-

The challenge of caring for a billion India is the second most populous country in the world The death rate has declined but birth rates continue to be high in most of the states. Health care structure in the country is over-burdened by increasing population Family planning programs need to be (re)activated
Slide 3-

Challenge: Burden of Disease in the new millenium India faces the twin epidemic of continuing/emerging infectious diseases as well as chronic degenerative diseases. The former is related to poor implementation of the public health programs, and the latter to demographic transition with increase in life expectancy.
Slide 4-

Economic deprivation in a large segment of population results in poor access to health care. Poor educational status leads to non-utilization of scanty health services and increase in avoidable risk factors. Both are closely related to life expectancy and IMR. Advances in medicine are responsible for no more than half of the observed improvement in health indices. Economic development, Education and Health
Slide 5-

Human Development Indicators: A challenge for all Longevity, literacy and GDP per capita are the main indicators of human development Longevity is a measure of state of health, and is linked to income and education Weakness in health sector has an adverse effect on longevity India ranks low (115th) amongst world nations judged by HDI
Slide 6-

High Burden of Disease India faces high burden of disease because of lack of environmental sanitation and safe drinking water, under-nutrition, poor living conditions, and limited access to preventive and curative health services Lack of education, gender inequality and explosive growth of population contribute to increasing burden of disease Full impact of the HIV epidemic and tobacco related diseases is yet to be felt
Slide 7-

Health Care in India Expenditure on health by the Government continues to be low. It is not viewed as an investment but rather as a dead loss! States under financial constraints cut expenditure on health Growth in national income by itself is not enough, if the benefits do not manifest themselves in the form of more food, better access to health and education: Amartyo K Sen
Slide 8-

Human health has probably improved more over the past half century then over the previous three millennia. This is a stunning achievement - never to be repeated and, it is to be hoped, irreversible. Despite the devastating impact that HIV/AIDS is having in Africa and will increasingly have in south east Asia, it is likely that, overall, human health will continue to improve steadily during the coming decades. contd
Slide 9-

A dark cloud, however, threatens to blot out the sun from this landscape. Almost everywhere, the poor suffer poor health and the very poor suffer appallingly. In addition the gap in health between rich and poor remains very wide. Addressing this problem, both between countries and within countries, constitutes one of the greatest challenges of the new century. Failure to do so properly will have dire consequences for the global economy, for social order and justice, and for the civilization as a whole. Inequity in Health Care

Deaths by age groups in developed and developing world 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 Deaths in millions 0-4 5--14 15-29 30-44 45-59 60-69 >70 Age group in years Developed Developing
Slide 11-

Distribution of 12 million deaths in under 5 in developing countries, 1993 ~10% disease burden could be avoided by access to safe water ~20% disease burden could be avoided by eliminating malnutrition

Health Care in India India has 48 doctors per 100,000 persons which is fewer than in developed nations Wide urban-rural gap in the availability of medical services: Inequity Poor facilities even in large Government institutions compared to corporate hospitals (Lack of funds, poor management, political and bureaucratic interference, lack of leadership in medical community)

Slide 19-

Health Care in India: Curative Health Services Increasing cost of curative medical services High tech curative services not free even in government hospitals Limited health benefits to employees Health insurance expensive Curative health services not accessible to rural populations
Slide 20-

Health Care in India Private practitioners and hospitals major providers of health care in India Practitioners of alternate systems of medicine also play a major role Concerns regarding ethics, medical negligence, commercialization of medicine, and incompetence Increasing cost of medical care and threat to healthy doctor patient relationship
Slide 21-

There is a marked shortage of trained nurses
Slide 22-

Health Care in India Prevention, and early diagnosis and treatment, if feasible, are the most cost-effective strategies for most diseases Promoting healthy life style from early life is a ‘no cost’ intervention which needs to be incorporated in school curricula. There is need for increasing public awareness of the benefits of healthy life style
Slide 23-

Components of healthy life style Abstinence from tobacco use Regular physical exercise Balanced nutritious diet rich in vegetables and fruits, and low in fats and refined sugar Avoidance of pre and extramarital sex Yoga and meditation Avoidance of alcohol and substance abuse
Slide 24-

Physical activity and Health Report of the Surgeon General, 1996 All people benefit from regular physical activity Moderate physical activity for 30-45 minutes on all days of the week is required Additional benefits can be gained from more strenuous activity for longer periods Physical activity reduces the risk of premature death, CAD, hypertension, diabetes and colon cancer. It also improves mental health. A large number of adults including youths are not regularly physically active Certain interventions to promote physical activity in schools, work site and health care settings have been found to be beneficial
Slide 25-

Interventions with a large potential impact on health outcomes Immunization (EPI plus) DOTs for tuberculosis Maternal health and safe motherhood interventions Family planning School health interventions HIV/AIDS prevention Integrated management of childhood illnesses Treatment of STD Malaria control Tobacco control

Available vaccines against some human pathogens Whooping cough Tetanus Diphtheria Polio Measles, rubella Cholera Tuberculosis ? S typhi N meningitidis C Smallpox Anthrax Strep pneumoniae H influenzae Hepatitis A and B Jap encephalitis Mumps Rabies Yellow fever Varicella-zoster Influenza A
Slide 29-

Vaccines undergoing phase 3 clinical trials* Leprosy Leishmania S typhi N meningitidis B Influenza B Rotavirus * expected to be available in 5-10 years
Slide 30-

Vaccination coverage in India continues to be low, and falls short of the target of 90%. Recommended vaccinations under EPI include DPT, polio, BCG, measles. It is proposed to add Hepatitis B and H influenzae type b to this list. Measles continues to cause 30% of all vaccine preventable deaths, mostly in developing countries. Challenge is to increase the immunization coverage to the desired level. Also to develop newer vaccines and new modes of delivery.
Slide 31-

Number of deaths from pneumonia per 100,000 children <15 years in US Vaccination is not the only answer!
Slide 32-

Rational use of diagnostic tests Inappropriate and irrational use of high tech and expensive diagnostic tests is widely prevalent in developing countries (CT, serology for TB) Market forces, misinformation, desire to do something Governmental regulation not feasible; improved diagnostic reasoning required
Slide 33-

There has been an explosion of high tech diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive interventions in the field of medicine and surgery This has resulted in physicians spending less time in history taking and physical examination.

Drug susceptibility of Strep pneumoniae IBIS Study
Slide 39-

Low cost interventions have been successful in reducing morbidity and mortality from many diseases. DOTs for treatment of tuberculosis is one such intervention. Behavioral interventions for reducing transmission of HIV inefction, and management of STD and RTI are also cost-effective interventions.
Slide 40-

Health Care in Developing Countries Existing infrastructure for health care needs to be strengthened. Health should be perceived as an investment and receive greater budgetary allocation Education, safe water and sanitation need priority Vaccination coverage to be improved Better implementation of national health programs Judicious use of the scant resources by promoting most cost-effective strategies for disease prevention Inclusion of all level of stakeholders in planning and policy making using tremendous human resource available in the country
