What ails India’s approach to Universal Health Coverage

IndiaTimes Tuesday, 12 December 2023
Poorly maintained registers of doctors and opaque functioning of regulatory bodies create hassles for doctors and patients. An optimal legal framework is needed to establish suitable standards, facilitate compliance, and resolve concerns. Lack of clarity in decision-making and hidden authorities cause distress. Proper record-keeping and establishment of the National Medical Register are essential. Inspection models should focus on compliance and use strict penalties for serious breaches. Uncertainty in evidentiary standards and inconsistent judgments create confusion. Uniform compensation calculation and capacity building in regulatory mechanisms are necessary. Rethinking regulation as a tool for improving health coverage is crucial.
