Development of government health policy in India
Authors

Abstract
The public health arena has a multitude of stake-holders comprising doctors, nurses and para-medical personnel, pharmacists, public health professionals, researchers and academics, policy makers, officials from the Ministry of health and family welfare, educational and training institutions in the public and private sectors, non-government organizations and others. The government is the largest medical service provider in India. More than 50% of Indian population depends upon Indian government for their health and wellbeing through government run hospitals, clinics, public health centres, and running medical van. Indian government looks failed in providing a quality medical service to all citizens due to non-inventoryand anti-technology nature. We can trace a common set of problems associated with the public health which is also responsible for failure of different programs and policies. The ministry of health and family welfare (MoHFW) has a vast range of control programs that have been going on for decades. These programs have been revised periodically to incorporate improvements based on past experience and contemporary understanding, but most of the internationally accepted performance indicators seem to indicate that India has performed quite poorly on health indicators and is quite far from achieving its stated goals of universal healthcare access for all.
