GUEST LECTURE ON UNIVERSAL HEALTH COVERAGE

Mr.Keshav Desairaju, through his years of experience was able to deliver an impactful lecture on “UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE”.

Sir brought to light some of the significant challenges that our healthcare system is facing which includes an active immunization rate of 61% and the declining number of healthcare professionals in the rural parts of India. Although Ayurveda has its roots in India, it is still considered inferior to allopathy. He stated that maternal and childcare are indicators of a civilized society. Some of the Indian states, including Kerela, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra, have attained the sustainable development goal.

Healthcare providers, although generated in large volumes of data in India, have not been able to extend their skills and knowledge to the rural parts of the nation. This is mainly because most providers do not find rendering their services to the underprivileged rural India would be profitable to them in any way. Public Healthcare is a function of the state, however public funding is not enough to provide adequate facilities which are why a public - private partnership is encouraged. On the other hand if private funding is to be brought to the public sector, how is it going to make any profit. Healthcare cannot be addressed solely as a hospital or a public health issue but a holistic approach to universal healthcare is the need of the hour. But first issues in regards to unequal incomes and lack of accessibility need to be dealt with. The Indian Government has started public insurance schemes like the “Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojna” and developed the concept of ASHA in the rural areas, both of which have been contributing tremendously to improving healthcare opportunities in India.

The session was then open for questions where issues concerning the health of women were further discussed.

All in all it was a very insightful session that opened our eyes to the current prevailing conditions in the country.

The entire session was interactive, where the students put up their views as to what was their understanding of digital health. Dr. Kapur took those points and steered the session towards more detailed and in-depth perspective on digital health. He stressed the use and need of digitalization of healthcare in India. He explained the 3 A’s in digitalization – Access, Assurance, Affordability.

The current scenario is such that the country is facing a scarcity of eligible healthcare managers. Thus, he highlighted the necessity of able MBAs in future. Also, he kept the audience interested by asking many thought-provoking questions throughout the session.

Later, he asked the students to think of any idea, which according to them, will help in improving the current scenario of healthcare in India. Many creative ideas were given by the students. It included the ‘Zomato of healthcare’, which was applauded the most.

The session was concluded with the vast opportunities that lie ahead in this field of digitalization. Also, Dr. Kapur said that majority of the future healthcare managers will be working in the field of digital health by the time they end their careers.
