Abstract

The chapter analyses the state of healthcare, where private expenditure in the form of out of pocket expenditure (OOP) in healthcare has been increasing recklessly, yet the quality of the services fails to meet internationally agreed standards. The public spending is inadequate to offset the low private consumption of the poor and the marginalised, creating an unequal health outcome amongst the population. The poor quality of health and education is reflected in low skills and productivity of the labour force. The analysis points out crucial indicators of access to healthcare which includes availability, affordability and accountability, and the sufficient conditions required to achieve universal health care, innovation and skill formation.
