Right to Health can only be implemented, if the health system is strong: Dr Purohit

Hamirpur(HP), Dec 13 (UNI) The right to health can only be implemented judiciously if the health system is strong, requiring the government to increase public health spending, stated Dr Naresh Purohit, Executive Member- Federation of Hospital Administrators.

When the state doesn’t allocate adequate budgets for healthcare, the private sector naturally fills the void and this leads to inequality, uncontrolled fees, unnecessary medical procedures, and economic devastation for the common man.
