Uncertified rural practitioners (URPs) without formal medical qualification occupy an indispensable yet dangerous position in the rural health care system in India. The low cost, close proximity, and higher health hazards in rural areas along with the inability of established health-care setups to fulfill existing demands have favored the flourishing trade of URPs. Irrational and dangerous drug prescriptions, unauthorized interventions, improper waste disposal, and several cases of malpractice by URPs are serious threats to the exposed population. However, because of the practical compulsion and real-world necessity of their existence, URPs should be scientifically trained and sensitized to regulate, qualify, and integrate them as a part of the existing health care system in India.

The health care system of WB needs a massive change from every aspect. However, changing a system which is running for years is in itself a challenge. Therefore, change in the health policy needs to begin either from the foundation up or according to the importance of proposed legislation. Rural health care system without specialty care has always been the underdog of WB health system. However, most improvement can be made there. This policy document proposes a basic specialty care in rural areas of WB, intended to improve health care for a maximum possible population.

The Technological and economical advancement needs enhanced healthcare system. Telemedicine healthcare system provides the provision of medical treatment from a remote distance. The telemedicine research and product development has embarked immense growth during the past decade primarily due to tremendous technological advancement in automation. The aim of IoTbased health care system is to ensure and increase the welfare of patients and the quality of life in rural areas. In this paper we present a low cost Health sensor platform and sugar level without blood for rural health monitoring with a well-structured and secure interface between medical experts and Cellular and WLAN for sharing of important medical parameters. In our proposed and implemented model we developed separate interface for medical experts and medical server, Caregiver, Emergency other then physician and introduced a new algorithm for implementation. Features like live video streaming, automatic prescription generation and push notification to allotment are included. The prototype is used for trial under the supervision of medical experts and the data are compared with standard test done in pathological laboratory. The result is satisfactory with good level of acceptance.

The transformation of the small-fragmented peasant economy into a large socialist economy on the basis of total collectivization and the introduction of machinery, which caused the rise of the material and cultural level of the workers in the village, has made completely new demands on the rural health care, making us the most urgent task of fundamental restructuring of the entire rural health care system in order to maximize assistance to agriculture and subordinate our activities to the task of dramatically increasing productivity of agricultural labor.

Palliative care (pc) is part of the recommended standard of care for patients with advanced cancer. Nevertheless, delivery of pc is inconsistent. Patients who could benefit from pc services are often referred late—or not at all. In planning for improvements to oncology pc practice in our health care system, we sought to identify barriers to the provision of earlier pc, as perceived by health care providers managing patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mcrc). We used the Michie Theoretical Domains Framework (tdf) and Behaviour Change Wheel (bcw), together with knowledge of previously identified barriers, to develop a 31-question survey. The survey was distributed by e-mail to mcrc health care providers, including physicians, nurses, and allied staff. Responses were obtained from 57 providers (40% response rate).The most frequently cited barriers were opportunity-related—specifically, lack of time, of clinic space for consultations, and of access to specialist pc staff or services. Qualitative responses revealed that resource limitations varied by cancer centre location. In urban centres, time and space were key barriers. In rural areas, access to specialist pc was the main limiter. Self-perceived capability to manage pc needs was a barrier for 40% of physicians and 30% of nurses. Motivation was the greatest facilitator, with 89% of clinicians perceiving that patients benefit from pc. Based on the Michie tdf and bcw model, interventions that best address the identified barriers are enablement and environmental restructuring. Those findings are informing the development of an intervention plan to improve oncology pc practices in a publicly funded health care system.

In this paper, we first briefly review the changes that the Chinese health care system has undergone since the early 1980s. We then describe the major current health policy initiatives in urban and rural areas and discuss likely scenarios for their evolution over time. Using comparisons with international experience regarding different institutional arrangements in the health care sector, we also discuss whether the approaches taken in China are likely to strengthen the health care system in terms of efficiency and equity. Our conclusion is that in order to predict how effectively China's future health care system will perform in the future, one must have more information about what role the state (central government) will play, as regulator, partial funder and direct provider in the system. We believe that the best strategy at present is to allow the development of a mixed model with significant roles for both the state and the private sector, in both the supply of health care services and the provision of health insurance.
