Draft National Health Policy 2001 - II : Resource Generation without Planned Allocation

Unlike the health policy of 1983, this policy attempts to address the problem of poor financial allocations for health care and recommends that it be enhanced considerably. But without a detailed exercise inquiring into the present pattern of allocations, this prescription, overdue as it is, will not serve any purpose. If the additional resources are to make an impact, considerable restructuring of the health system has to be undertaken urgently.
