This book critically examines the public and private healthcare
systems in India. Analysing the current scenario of health
insurance in India, it studies the inadequacy of public healthcare
services and unaffordability of private health care facilities. The
volume investigates government sponsored health insurance schemes
and advocates for the need of universal health insurance coverage.
It details India’s per capita health expenditure and provides
policy inputs on how healthcare systems and insurance coverage can
be improved in the country. Further, it explores the financial
parameters of health insurers and standalone private health
insurance companies, and also discusses the adverse impact of the
Covid-19 pandemic on Indian healthcare. An insightful read on the
state of healthcare in India, this book will be of interest to
researchers and academics working in the fields of insurance,
healthcare administration and management, public health policy and
practice, health and social care, medical sociology, and sociology
& social policy. It will also be useful for think tanks and
policy makers.
