The Indian Medical Association (IMA)-Andhra Pradesh on April 6 (Saturday) released a ‘health manifesto’ pointing out the gaps in the healthcare sector and the measures to be taken to bridge them to ensure equal healthcare for all.
In view of the forthcoming elections and also on the eve of World Health Day on April 7 (Sunday), the members of the IMA released the manifesto to bring the issues plaguing the healthcare system to the attention of the public.
The first in the manifesto is the Universal Health Care which, they said, should be an entitled provision in the basic health package of every citizen. The government should not only provide appropriate medical care but also address all the health determinants, including drinking water and sanitation.
