Discuss which among the following measures will you consider as instances-OR not an instance of improving the healthcare. Write down the reasons for your answer? (Conceptual understanding)
Answer:
a) TB patients are given free medicines.
Answer:
The below-poverty line people suffering from TB are provided free medicines. It is a need due to the lack of awareness about the disease and the non-affordability of the patients to huy the medicine. Instead of allowing the most valuable human resource to be wasted, they can be provided medicines with free of cost.
b) In some villages clean drinking water facilities have been arranged.
Answer:
In our country, majority of the diseases are waterborne. These diseases can be easily prevented by providing safe drinking water to the people in general and rural people in particular. So some of the village panchayats arranged mineral water plants to supply purified water at low cost to the villagers.
c) Shopkeepers sell medicines for cold, fever, headache etc.
Answer:
Sale of any medicine other than the qualified chemists is unlawfuL Lack of awareness and less accessibility to the hospitals, doctors and pharmaceutical shops people prefer to buy from the shopkeeper. Sometimes these easily curable diseases may become life consumers due to use of medicines from these shopkeepers.
d) The government provides food grains in fair-price shops.
Answer:
One of the most important welfare activity of the government is providing food for 2 square meals per every citizen. As many of the poverty-stricken people cannot afford to buy the food grains in the open markets, the governments started the fair price shops. Their main duty is to supply the basic food to all eligible poor people at a subsidised price.

Question 6.
Health is not limited to providing medicine’. In this chapter, there are other aspects of health that are mentioned (like clean water etc). Bring them together and write a paragraph about such aspects. (Reading the text given), understanding and Interpretation)
Answer:
Health at a nation is its wealth. The nation that is keen to take care about their citizen’s health easily achieves its economic growth rapidly. Our nation being a developing one and with million’, of people under poverty, the utmost requirement for all of us is to see the improvement in the economic growth of people belonging to the BPL.
Though providing curative medicine is important, the social medicine is also very very essential. Can drinking water, proper sanitation, minimum food. education and health facilities to all are the very basic facilities, These all are to work as a healthy web to improve the health ot all, These basic needs should be made available to all in general, BPL people in particular to make the human population as an asset to the nation rather than a burden to it.
Question 7.
The following figure shows how people get money for hospitalisation in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. Nearly 65% of the people below poverty line have to borrow money. Identify this in the chart and mark the percentage. Those above poverty line spend 45% of the hospitalisation expenditure from their savings.
Identify this in the chart and mark the percentage. Those above poverty line borrow only 35%. Identify this in the chart and mark the percentage. Can you also roughly estimate share of other means through which people meet their hospitalisation expenses in the chart below? (Information skills)
Answer:
The hospitalisation expenses of the below-poverty-line people
- An alarming 65% of the BPL people meet their hospitaLisation expenses through borrowing money from different sources of lending.
- Only 7.5% of the people meet their expenses through their current income. It has 2 reasons. One is their health condition is good due to their awareness and the other is their employers might have provided a few health packages.
- 10% of the people are capable of meeting the expenses through their savings. These are the people who are being well paid.
- Unfortunately, 10% of the BPL people are forced to sell their assets whatever they have to meet the hospitalisation- Generally, these are BPL, they will not have notable assets. By selling these the become completely poor.
- Some 7.5% of the others meet through different means.
To conclude the condition of BPL is very bad in meeting the hospitalisation. This is a very unfortunate thing. The government is taking many measures. So the problem may be lying in the implementation of the health schemes and their accessibility to the target groups.
The condition of the Above Poverty Line people (APL):
- 35% of these people borrow from different means to meet their expenses. It is very less when compared to the BPI.
- A slight difference can be noticed in between the percentage of people meeting the expenses From their current income. 11% of the people meet from their current income.
- A good position is found in the savings as 45% of the APL people meet from their savings.
- Only 3% of the people are forced to sell their assets and another 3% to avail the reimbursement and other 3% get from other means. The APL people’s position is always good due to their position in all aspects.

The 108 reaches to the spot to provide first aid in emergency cases and also take the patient for further follow-up treatment at nearby health centre. Without these two services, the rural people used to face many health-related problems without any proper treatment.
