Legal Approaches To Addressing The Social Determinants Of Public Health: The Scenario In India

Abstract

The enhanced scope, services, and rising investment by both public and private entities are driving the rapid and vigorous growth of the Indian healthcare system. Clinical trials, hospitals, medical equipment, telemedicine, health insurance, and medical appliances are all included in the scope of healthcare. Numerous factors, including our residence, heredity, environmental conditions, income, and education, all contribute to the health of individuals and communities and have significant effects on public health care.Environment and circumstances are major factors in determining an individual's state of health as well. For the health care system to be successfully implemented, it must be designed to adhere to specific human rights norms. A strong regulatory framework is essential to achieving favourable results for human health. By enforcing sanitary regulations on things like food safety, abattoir hygiene, and water quality monitoring, it reduces the likelihood of contracting diseases. The result is a shaky human health care system due to wide gaps in the enforcement, monitoring, and evaluation processes. This is also a result of inadequate funding for medical care for people, a lack of dedication and leadership on the part of health professionals, and a lack of community.
