Beschreibungen/Notizen

• This book critically examines the public and private health care systems in India. Analysing the current scenario of health insurance in India, it studies the inadequacy of public health care services and unaffordability of private health care facilities. The volume investigates government-sponsored health insurance schemes and advocates for universal health insurance coverage. It details India's per capita health expenditure and provides policy inputs on how health care systems and insurance coverage can be improved in the country. Further, it explores the financial parameters of health insurers and stand-alone private health insurance companies and discusses the adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Indian health care. An insightful read on the state of health care in India, this book will be of interest to researchers and academics working in the fields of insurance, health care administration and management, public health policy and practice, health and social care, medical sociology, and sociology and social policy. It will also be useful for think tanks and policymakers.
