National Health Policy: Is It Really for the Poor?

Barna Ganguli and Bakshi Amit Sinha

Indian Journal of Human Development, 2018, vol. 12, issue 3, 462-466

Abstract: This commentary seeks to critically evaluate the new National Health Policy, which emerged as a comprehensive document for Universal Health Coverage in India. Whether the new initiative, with its emphasis on the alignment of private healthcare sector with public health, is merely a window dressing of the old health policies or does it offer something substantive and new?
