Healthcare is fundamental to national progress in any sphere. In
terms of resources for economic development, nothing can be
considered of higher importance than the health of the people which
is a measure of their energy, capacity and potential for productive
work. Health is a positive state of well being in which the
harmonious development of physical and mental capacities of the
individual lead to the enjoyment of a rich and full life. It is not
a negative state of mere absence of disease. Health further implies
complete adjustment of the individual to his total environment,
physical and social. Considerable achievements have been made since
Independence in 1947 to improve health standards in the country.
Nevertheless, problems abound. India has to deal with rising costs
of healthcare and growing expectations of the people. The challenge
of quality health services in remote rural regions has to be
urgently met. AIDS, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease (CVD)
and stroke are not only serious health problems but also pose
formidable development issues on account of their potential adverse
impact on productivity and hence socio-economic development. The
present volume comprises 26 research papers - contributed by
psychologists, psychiatrists, home scientists, AIDS counsellors,
social workers and human resources (HM) experts - which provide
deep psycho-social and neurological insights into various
dimensions of healthcare challenges being faced by India. Out of 26
papers, 15 papers deal with the pressing problem of HIV/AIDS and
the remaining 11 with other physical and mental disorders including
cancer, diabetes, depression, inhalant abuse, sleep problems,
examination stress and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
These well-researched papers provide valuable information on
management of healthcare problems in India.
