1.0.         Introduction

The Health sector is considered as the genuine lifeline for any state or country in the world(Ramachandran, 2012).The primary responsibility that comes before any Welfare benefit for the citizen of the state or a country is public health. A welfare state gets complemented for health infrastructure worldwide(Anon., 2010). The healthcare sector of India has the combinations systems of partnerships both private and public.

The healthcare sector of India is among one of the most challenging sectors along with the huge population diversities across the region(Ramachandran, 2012).

The evolution of voluntarism in the institutions of India has been under the dominance of colonization culture in recent past era(Mukhopadhyay, 2000). Due to colonial system, there has been a huge ignorance in terms of following the proper functionalities in the healthcare departments across the country.

Although efforts have been made by the regularities to improvise the healthcare sectors mechanism in India but still there is a long way to go in the journey to maximize the efficiency of system.

In order to evaluate critically, we must need to have a look at the previous researches and contributions made till now in the heath sector, covering public/private partnerships and collaboration for deep evaluation. The existing health structure is in a need of removal of the complexities and diversities from all aspects in India. The special framework for the health sector has a core area to lay out chains of value for the right impact and outcomes (Mehta, et al., 2010).

As its clear public and private sectors are both the main stakeholders of the health systems across the country (Raman & Björkman, 2009) so the perspectives towards these stakeholders partnership in India need the research evidences.

 

The public private partnership directs towards the world business along with cooperation of the regional authorities whether public or private for the reforms and infrastructure building of health sector in the country (Expert Panel On Effective Ways of Investing in Health (EXPH), 2012). The long term relationship between public private sectors caters the needs of business world credibly for any system especially a healthcare system.

 

The preventive healthcare measures hold the importance in regards to play an effective role in health system but the ignorance to this role have created hindrance in the improvisation of Indian systems of medical health. The health effort in terms of volunteerism holds the existence today as well (Mukhopadhyay, 2000).

The health policy in India is in a need of a new paradigm in healthcare sector in India. The estimated annual growth of 20% and a high expectation had been made by the rating agency for the healthcare industry of India to reach 100 billion dollars by last year 2015 which nearly did (Ramachandran, 2012).

The classification of new initiatives and many health programs will be discussed in this research analysis paper along with the critical evaluation. The classification includes the specialized health community programs, the sponsorship of health work by private groups, integrated developmental health programs, the activists and health researchers and different campaign groups for healthcare and social care sector. These programs will be critically discussed and evaluated in the main body of this assignment paper.

2.0.         Explanation of the Issue:

 

The issue that arises here is that there has been a complex nature of health sector of India so far. The public and private sectors are both the main stakeholders of the health systems across the country (Raman and Björkman, 2009). The regional diversities and vastness in the healthcare and social care sectors hinders the model approach for public private partnerships in India. The model approach in the system includes the healthcare programs and initiatives objected to deliver appropriate functionally in healthcare sector. Even though, the model for healthcare its self is suspected while implemented for public heath across India as they lack the conditions of replicability by private as well as by government sector (Mukhopadhyay, 2000).

It has been recognized as well that highly challenging sociological, professional, technological and managerial tasks produced unsatisfactory results when applied to current system. The participation of people leads towards an empowerment of any system including healthcare (Anon., 2010).The opinion of public and mass associations has hardly been formed in regards to the appropriate health infrastructure and services in India. The negligence to such factors has generated ineffective consequences in the healthcare sector in India.

3.0.         Rationale for Approach Taken:

The approach to follow in this paper will be based upon the critiques, evaluation and deep analysis of health care sectors in India through public and private partnership. The rationale intends to help develop and evaluate an appropriate standards and understanding in the study of healthcare sector. The thorough evaluation will be done on the basis of researches conducted in the sector of health and healthcare along with the findings suggested through different research papers.

4.0.         Theoretical Context:

In the state of India, many initiatives are under process in terms of formulating partnerships in both public and private sectors for the scope of reforms to health sector (Raman and Björkman, 2009). The effects on the healthcare sector have also been driven by the experiments made till now in terms of shaping the healthcare policy by government and other absorbed local and nonlocal bodies in government. This leads to a critical area to evaluate as it has been neglected by volunteering bodies across the country. Many nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have been playing their part in extensive community services in terms of heath in India (Raman and Björkman, 2009).

The healthcare services formulated by the help of public private partnership healthcare sector should be subjected to construction of infrastructure, which requires investment through proper channel and without collaboration of both public and private sectors seems complicated to cater….
