Over the last century China and India has had economic growth. There has been substantial deterioration in poverty in both poor countries, but much more so in China. However, that economic growth and deterioration of insufficiency was not spread equally among the lives of the poor especially as it relates to health. In comparison, the health outcome in China has been much better than that of India and has been for numerous decades. According to Kanjilal, Mazumdar, Mukherjee, and Rahman (2010) the lifespan in China had risen in 1975 to a rate that India still had not achieved in the year 2000; as an example, life expectancy rate at birth in India is currently the same as what China’s was in 1970. Additionally, 46% of the children age three and under in India are underweight, and only 8% in China; however, for children in India age five and under the mortality rate is more than two times that of China (Jones, Jones, Perry, Barclay, & Jones, 2010).
Both China and India shared comparable strategies as it relates to development and reform. In 1978, China started reform with a closed non-market economy, while India had an open market that was state controlled until 1980 (Cyril, Oldroyd, & Renzaho, 2013). The political settings were quite different under which reforms were introduced and executed which made the difference in the consequences amongst the two countries. India is still represented by an open take part multiparty democracy, while China has an authoritarian one party
b) Economic – China’s isolation led to them having a localized government. On the other hand, India was susceptible to outside forces and influences, causing it to have more diverse culture, and therefore to have local
China urged for centralization esp. in politics. while India & Medit. used the diversity of local rule.
India and China are two republics that have experienced very opposing political regimes throughout history. China has been fundamentally stable country with a lack of a distinct authority figure (Desai, 2003). Being a single party state China has been controlled by the Chinese Communist Party since the 5th National Congress held in 1927 (Wang, 2013). Correspondingly India, have always been a federal parliamentary democratic republic where the President of India elected is head of state and the Prime Minister elected is the head of government (U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, 2013). This
Although classical China and India had good institutions, they both pursued that characteristic in different directions. For example, China had developed one united dialect within their society, as India had come up with a variety of different languages. China basically developed solitary, with no outside help or advice until later on. So they grew with the society that they had created, no outside
What is workflow? Workflow is term that’s broadly thrown around across the board with no one clear definition. If I was asked to nail it down I would define workflow as any process or product that aims to streamline the daily workings of the office. Medical offices in particular benefit from efficient workflow as there are many non-revenue producing procedures that must be completed before a physician can even begin to focus on patient care or in other words to make the practice profitable. As you continue to read I am going to talk about EMR (electronic medical records), one of if not the most important innovation for healthcare in general and how this new technology has revolutionized patient management and drastically improved the daily
In India's unregulated backyard smelter industry, there are very high profit margins. Indian traders thus outbid their European counterparts for such wastes in the international markets, paying almost 30 percent more for waste like zinc ash. Many other developing nations in Africa and Southeast Asia have stopped buying these hazardous wastes.
inequality in distribution of stock of human capital means underinvestment on the one hand and mal-investment on the other, as total and per capita stocks of human capital figures in women and backward castes indicate. Perhaps, the main reason lies in the failure of human investment revolution in economic thought to really revolutionize common thinking. individuals as well as state policy makers still perceive education expenditure as 'consumption' and as a burden on the state which reduces public savings. it is misleading to treat public expenditures of backward castes and women as 'welfare' but must be treated as 'capital formation'.
Abstract: Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi had launched the “MAKE IN INDIA “campaign on the 25th of September, 2014 in the presence of eminent Indian industrialists. The initiative taken by him is to promote a culture of trust, transparency among industrialists so as to facilitate the process of doing business in the country. This initiative aims to put India on the global manufacturing map, help in the inflow of technology, capital and in the process create millions of job for the Indian youth.
Comparing to the United Sates, the education level of India is extremely low but has improved over the past years. Even though India is a growing country, its 67 years of life expectancy is relatively small due to high infant mortality rate and high-risk health conditions. Some of the diseases in India can be categorized under the following criteria: food or waterborne disease, vector borne disease, water contact disease, and animal contact disease. In addition, India consists of 2,085,000 people living with HIV/AIDS and 135,500 people have died due to the virus, ranking India third in the world. Also due to the widespread poverty in India, around 43.5% of the population under the age of 5 are underweight and is ranked second in the world.
Both nations possess comparable features. Both are rapidly expanding, constituting the most populous regions of the world, and face poverty, a growing rural-urban divide, corruption, expansive bureaucracies, and illiteracy. They also have a seemingly limitless economic potential and “are developing rapidly in certain sectors and represent the largest of the emerging markets,” as stated in the International Journal of E-Business Research (Raven 104). But the two nations differ in their method of garnering economic influence, with China attaining this economic growth much more quickly than India.
Based on its HDI ranking relative to other nations, India “does a relatively poor job of converting its income into good health and educational outcomes” (“Shaping the Developing World”, 48). This means that India’s use of its capital and human capital is inefficient, at least in comparison to countries with similar incomes, in respect to improving its infrastructure, services, and other factors that generally improve the lives of its citizens. In India’s case, this is most evident by far in the government’s provision (or lack thereof) of adequate education and health services. India’s infant mortality rate is ten times that of the average developed country, and only around 35% of citizens have access to toilets and clean water (“Shaping the Developing World”, 49). There are more than 30 million Indian school-age children who are not attending, and those that do receive a lackluster
usage in India in recent years; however, much of this increase has been due less
The World Health Organization (WHO; 2015), estimated in the year 2013 China 's population of 1,393,337,000 has experienced a different type of health outcomes. In where the nation China has been promoting an egalitarian society, while having achieved a greater health outcomes compared to the year 1949 communist revolution (Valentine, 2005). China has been successful in controlling many health indicators including the death rate of 6.9 per 1,000 in 2004 as one attributes due to Barefoot Doctors movements (Valentine, 2005; WHO, 2015). Nevertheless, 80% of the Chinese population lives in rural communities, which most people still continues to die from the preventable infectious disease (Dummer & Cook, 2008). The increase in mortality rates causes by preventable diseases such as the supply of clean water, and environmental sanitation is due to the lacks actual medical doctors given birth to the demands for ‘Barefoot Doctors’ adaptation of traits and skills (Dummer & Cook, 2008; Valentine, 2005 ).
ABSTRACT: The research aims primarily to meet the needs of the Public Health course. The research’s interest involves a general overview of India, its population, geography, economy, major past conflicts. Add to that the health status in the country with the funding, insurance, problems in and benefits of the system; diseases in the country and major threats depending on different parameters. And as for our target the “Pharmaceutics” which integrate with our Pharmacy Specialty. ‘It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.’ —Mahatma Ghandi
It does not go unnoticed that India faces a large health care crisis. Oddly enough, the topic is not well discussed in politics although it being an serious issue within the country. The media does a poor job of expressing the situation at hand to those who are unaware and unprivileged. India faces deep inequities due to the lack of government funding. It is clear that health is not an issue to those who are privileged, but obviously it is troublesome to those who are not. The socio-economic inequality India is aware of their issue and is trying to find an answer to their long standing health issues. Consequently, the lack of advertisement for the pressing issue such as health, affects the children as well. India’s immunization rates are among the lowest in the world. That leads to early illnesses and diseases within the youngest generation of India. For as “developed” india is, it seems as if they should have higher rates than the undeveloped countries in sub-Saharan Africa. India just faces a massive inadequacy in health care. The three main causes in the inefficiencies of the health care system in India are access difficulties: geographical distance, socio-economic hindrances, and the gender gap.
