The scope and scenario of healthcare system of
India has been going through a transitional phase.
At present Indian healthcare system is in
transitional phase falling in between Westernized
System and Traditional Oriental System. The
health care system is being forced to recognize
the importance of incorporating newer and more
user friendly changes, because those changes
could rectify age-old problems and lacunaes
affecting the entire healthcare system. Modern
healthcare system has to be humane and
technologically updated simultaneously to
understand people and their problems and address
them with high degree of compassion and clinical
precisions. This could be achieved if the healthcare
system becomes more holistic and treat all
healthcare professional disciplines in equitable
manner. This outlook could not only empower the
healthcare system rather it also could understand
all dimensions of health problems and related
issues.
