Strategies of family welfare programme1. Integration with health services: FWP has been integrated with

other health services instead of being a separate services. 2. Concentration in rural areas: FWP are concentrated more in

rural areas at the level of subentries and primary health centers. This is in addition to hospitals at district, state and central levels.

3. Literacy : There is a direct correlation between illiteracy and fertility. So stress and priority is given for girl’s education . Fertility rate among educated females is low.

4. Raising the age for marriage: Under the child marriage restraint bill(1978), the age of marriage has been raised to 21 years for males and 18 years for females. This has some impact on fertility.

Here 5 things about India’s healthcare systems :

1. Rural v/s Urban Divide: India still spend only around 4.2% of its national GDP

towards healthcare goods & services( compare to 18% by the US). A staggering 70% of the population still lives in rural areas & has no or limited access to hospitals & clinics.

2. Need for Effectives Payment mechanism: India's healthcare landscape is the high out-of-pocket

expenditure(70%). According to the World Bank & National Commission's report on Macroeconomics, only 5% of Indians are covered by health insurance polices.

3. Demand for Basic Primary Healthcare & Infrastructures: children under five are born underweight and roughly 7%

(compare to 0.8% in the US) of the die before their fifth birthday. Only a small percentage of the population has access to quality sanitation. For primary healthcare, the Indian Govt. spends only about 30% of the country’s total healthcare budget.

4. Growing Pharmaceutical Sector: According to the IBEF, India is the third-largest exporter of

pharmaceutical Products in term of volume. Around 80% of market is composed of generic low-cost drugs which seem to be the major driver of the industry. The Govt. has already taken some liberal measures by allowing foreign direct investment in this area which force behind the growth of Indian pharma.

5. Underdeveloped Medical Devices Sector: The Govt. has been positive on clearing regulatory

hurdles related to the import-export of medical devices, and has set a few standards around clinical trials. According to Economic Times, the medical devices sector is seen as the most promising area for future development by foreign & regional investors; they are highly profitable and always in demand in other countries.

The cost of surgery in India is about one-tenth of that in the US or Western Europe.

Future planning:• India requires 600,000 to 700,000 additional beds over the

next five to six years, indicative of an investment opportunity of US$ 25-30 billion.

• The average investment size by private equity funds in

healthcare chains has already increased to US$ 20-30 million from US$ 5-15 million.

• A total of 3,598 hospitals and 25,723 dispensaries across the country offer AYUSH treatment, thus ensuring availability of alternative medicine and treatment to the people
