         Indian healthcare remarkable         progress at 75..needs to do more

          

·         Life expectancy rose to ~70 years from 33 years

·         Infant mortality dropped from ~200 per 1000 to 27 per 1000

·         Maternal mortality that was nearly 2000 per 100,000 came down to ~100 per 100,000

·         Eradication of smallpox and polio stands out as the single greatest achievement

·         Doctors increased from ~60,000 in the 1950s to ~18 lakhs

·         Ramped up the production of personal protection equipment and COVID testing                            infrastructure 

·   Ayushman Bharat mission are aimed at improving financial protection for nearly 500 million people under Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY),

 

                           1947 to present: A remarkable journey

 

Healthcare in India has come a long way over the past 75 years. Core health indicators then and now tell us the journey India has made thus far. Life expectancy rose to ~70 years from 33 years; Infant mortality dropped from ~200 per 1000 to 27 per 1000; maternal mortality that was nearly 2000 per 100,000 came down to ~100 per 100,000. Institutional births rose to 89% from 39% in the last 15 years. Eradication of smallpox and polio stands out as the single greatest achievement. Doctors increased from ~60,000 in the 1950s to ~18 lakhs (~13 lakhs allopathic and ~5 lakh AYUSH doctors); nurses increased from 16,500 to 35 lakhs during the same period. Nearly 13 lakh ASHA workers connect communities to primary health care services across rural India.

 

Waiting times to access healthcare services are much shorter in India than in many advanced countries despite the lower health workforce or beds to population ratio. Indian pharma and vaccine industry not only meet the domestic needs but accounts for supplies in many countries. The remarkable turnaround in supplies of personal protection equipment, ventilators, PCR, and rapid antigen tests and vaccines during COIVD-19 is a testimony to the resilience of India’s healthcare industry.

                     A lag in progress compared to other countries

 

Despite the progress, India ranks lower in many health indicators compared to countries that gained independence at the same time. We have wide disparities between states, between genders, between rural and urban people, between castes, between the educated and the uneducated, and between formal and informal labor. We account for 15% of global maternal deaths and ~27% of global tuberculosis cases. 43 percent of our children continue to be undernourished and ~20% continue to be vulnerable to diseases because of no or incomplete vaccination. The sex ratio at 935 females to 1000 males places us at 192^nd position in country rankings. Our public health expenditure at ~1.2% of GDP is one of the lowest in the world. Though out-of-pocket expenditure as a percentage of total health expenditure has declined from 62.4% in 2014 to 48.8% as per a recent study, it continues to cause financial hardships to many low- and middle-income families. Despite the progress, our health workforce and health infrastructure are grossly inadequate to meet the healthcare needs of people as per the growing disease burden.

 

    India’s resilience in the face of the devastating COVID-19 pandemic

 

Despite weak and fragile health systems, we, as a nation, displayed courage and resilience in absorbing the health shock imposed by the pandemic. The innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of India was evident in the way we ramped up the production of personal protection equipment and COVID testing infrastructure, the way we developed, produced, and administered our own vaccines, and the way we even supported other countries in accessing essential drugs and disposables, the way we used telemedicine to reach people, the way community health workers connected with rural people, and the way people had access to enough food to eat. The rapid recovery of our economy is a testimony to our ability to absorb shocks and recover from them.

 

    The need to make our health systems stronger and more resilient

 

We still do not know how many excess deaths India really had over the last two and half years, how many children missed their vaccines, how many people missed their dialysis, how many with cancer, tuberculosis, HIV, etc., missed their drugs, how many people suffered heart and brain strokes at home, how many could not deliver in the institutions, how many lost their jobs, and how many were pushed into debts and poverty. We should know and face the truth so that we introspect sincerely to understand our strengths and weaknesses, learn from our mistakes, and build back our fragile health systems into stronger and more resilient ones.    

 

Will our current health missions move us towards the goal of ‘Swasth Bharat’ and ‘Ayushman Bharat’?

 

The National Health Policy 2017 has outlined a road map towards transforming India into a healthy nation with long lives. The establishment of the National Medical Council to drive reforms in medical education, passing of the bill on allied health professionals, setting up of AIIMS in each state, and a medical college in each district, and common entrance and exit examinations to improve transparency and quality are some of the measures at strengthening human resources for health.

 

Programs launched under the Ayushman Bharat mission are aimed at improving financial protection for nearly 500 million people under Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY), strengthening comprehensive primary health care by upgrading subcenters and PHCs into 150,000 health and wellness clinics, building a unique national digital health architecture to drive transformation across health systems under Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), and strengthening healthcare and public health infrastructure to face future health shocks under Ayushman Bharat Health Infrastructure Mission (ABHIM).

 

There are many vertical programs directed at child nutrition; mother, neonate, child, and adolescent health; communicable diseases like tuberculosis, leprosy, HIV, vector-borne diseases, hepatitis, antimicrobial resistance, etc.; vaccination; non-communicable diseases like cardiovascular, respiratory, neurological, renal diseases and cancers; mental health, elder care, palliative care. While these programs have achieved significant gains, there is still potential to make them more efficient, integrated, and effective.

Initiatives to improve economic and social development and welfare have a significant impact on the health status of populations. Programs that aim to deliver clean drinking water to every household (Jal Shakti), clean cooking gas to prevent indoor pollution (Ujjwala), improve general sanitation and hygiene (Swatch Bharat), portable ration card system to access subsidized food items, clean energy to reduce environmental pollution, financial inclusivity through Jan Dhan accounts to receive social benefits, digital inclusivity under Digital India mission, improving wellness through Fit India and Eat Healthy India program, etc., have a significant impact on health status and longevity of people. The so-called social determinants of health account for three-fourths of the increase in longevity of life.

 

We can definitely advance in our journey towards the goals of Swasth Bharat and Ayushman Bharat If India can implement all above-mentioned programs in efficient, coordinated, and effective ways. It needs the participation of all the health system stakeholders – governments, non-government, private industry, civil society organizations, and people in a collaborative spirit towards a shared purpose of “Heallth for All” syas Says Dr. Krishna Reddy Nallamalla, President, InOrder Regional Director, South Asia, ACCESS Health International

 

 

Where do we want to be by 2047 – 100^th anniversary of our precious independence?

 

1.     We want people to live long, healthy lives

2.     We want to control our population disease burden and eliminate preventable premature deaths

3.     We want everyone, irrespective of age, gender, caste, religion, education, employment, or place of living to access safe and effective care when they want, where they want, and how they want.

4.     We want to ensure that no one should face financial hardships in accessing healthcare

5.     We want to secure people against future health shocks from infections, wars, climate changes, financial recessions & depressions, bioterrorism, biohazard etc.

Renowned Dentist Dr Aastha Chandra on creating beautiful, handcrafted smiles!

August, Mumbai: People spend tons of money on fashion-be it clothes, makeup, jewellery, shoes, etc, that keep changing with the seasons but what they often forget is that the one most beautiful aspect of a person is their smile and that lasts for a lifetime!

With a mission to bust all your myths or rather “fear” of going to the dentist and change people’s perception about dentists and how they associate dental and oral treatments with something painful and expensive; Dr Aastha Chandra launched the Opal Dental Care Studio- your go-to destination for all your dental and oral care needs. Delivering a multi-speciality treatment ranging from general dental cleaning, and root canals to more advanced cosmetic and restorative dental treatments like smile designing, dental veneers, dental implants, dentures, crowns and bridges, and many more. To achieve excellence in every step, each treatment involves modern technology and equipment, advanced procedure delivery systems, and international standards of care, providing a suitable approach for patients of all ages.

Located centrally in the affluent suburbs of Mumbai and turning around the usual image of ‘cold, drab, and eerie’ dental clinics, Opal Dental Care Studio is designed in such a way that doesn’t feel like a visit to the dentist but rather a relaxation spa. While only a 2-chair set-up, a lot of attention has been paid to the details from real copper being embedded in seamless concrete floors to a tv right on the ceiling above the patient's chair, for them to watch or listen to their favourite music and have their favourite beverage from a curated menu, making it a smooth experience.

“We wanted to create a simple, warm and welcoming space, exuding life and muted elegance.” Says Dr. Aastha, Founder and Chief Dentist. Using seamless and natural materials that showcase minimalism and authenticity like white concrete with real copper inlays, Opal exuberates simple elegance in every inch. With minutest attention to detail, Opal creates a comfortable environment for anyone seeking an enjoyable dental care experience.

The fear of going to a dentist most often comes from previous bad experiences that they have experienced personally or heard from others. Undoing this is always a challenge and Dr Aastha aces this challenge effortlessly, by discussing the patient's dental issues with them in detail, explaining the procedures every step of the way, and only doing what the patient desires. Unlike other dental practices, the patients are not pushed into unnecessary treatments, done with absolute precision the treatments are made as painless and desirable as possible. Having completed her graduation from one of India’s premier institutions – Government Dental College (GDC), Mumbai, Dr Aastha has assisted and worked with some of the best Doctors and renowned Specialists to deeply understand and master the latest technologies and advancements in dentistry and now working for over a decade she has truly become a master of the craft. She is extremely passionate about dental care and specialises in cosmetic smile designing- which involves perfectly aligning the teeth and artistically creating a straighter, whiter, and wider smile. Along with designing the highest calibre smiles within weeks- almost in no time,  she is also the queen of dental veneers which are slowly gaining popularity and changing the face of the industry.

 A crack in the teeth can quickly turn into a crack in one’s confidence, but with Dr Aastha’s expertise in cosmetic dental veneers that are almost undetectable and feel like natural teeth, one can feel confident and empowered in their own skin. Taking utmost care, treating every patient’s dental care needs by using her honed skills, she has provided gratifying results to her patients, who light up the room with their beautifully handcrafted smiles.

With people becoming more aware of their dental & oral hygiene and how it also affects the overall health system, Dr Aastha aims to redefine the concept of dentistry, diminish the negative connotations attached, and revolutionise modern cosmetic dentistry.  "The possibilities in cosmetic dentistry, especially with the nuances in technology, are endless. This intrigues me as much as it excites me. When I see the satisfaction on a patient’s face through their renewed smile, it gives me the motivation to constantly keep innovating to make every smile even more glorious." says Dr Aastha, Founder & Chief Dentist.

From a simple tooth whitening to a root canal to veneers and smile design using the latest cutting-edge technology with care and precision, look no further than Opal Dental Care which encompasses a vast range of dental services. Bid farewell to all those painful dentist appointments and experience a painless and dental joyful adventure like never before!
