Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Health is an index of development and economic growth. A lot of attention is in place to improve health conditions by providing basic amenities through better infrastructure and medical professionals. Public health facilities continue to face staff shortage as over 85 per cent specialist doctors, 75 per cent doctors, 80 per cent laboratory technicians, 53 per cent nursing and 52 per cent ANM (auxiliary nurse midwife) short across States. The density of health professionals is also, more in urban areas compared rural areas. India is ranking 52nd out of 57 countries facing human resources in health crisis. With growing population striking a balance is a herculean task making a necessity for private investments. Several health facilities have started functioning under Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model in different states. Government India’s initiative of Digital India has ample opportunities for digital innovations in health care. With increased digital awareness there is a wide scope for developing Electronic Health Record (EHR) services which not only help individuals but also, Government for planning at national level. Few big hospitals have EHR service for internal convenience. Government of India has also, come up with norms and regulations for EHR services. The paper presents various options and opportunities for PPP in health. Development of HER service for effective planning at national level is possible through Public-Private Partnership. Private sector being a big source of professionals can play a crucial role in managing HER related services. Corporate Social Sustainability (CSR) is a societal obligation of corporate business groups to participate in developmental programmes. Corporate companies under CSR funds are investing in various community developmental activities. Major corporate companies are actively participating in health programmes through CSR activity. The paper highlights possible opportunities and scope for tapping CSR funds to improve health care delivery through Public-Private Partnership.
