India is the largest democracy, and the second most populous country, and is considered to be a global power to be reckoned with. India is a country with diversified by multi faceted social, geographical and economical macro and micro factors intricately weaved into one.

Underprivileged and marginalized societies by caste, religion ethnicity, poverty, illiteracy and language are the major macro and micro social and political issues in India. Demand and advocacy for the underprivileged and marginalized is the major political issue for the politicians in India.

There is a potential definite threat for the majority of the population of India, by without caste, creed, religion, language barrier to become underprivileged and marginalized by their non affordability and inability to avail the cost of quality health care. Disease which causes morbidity and mortality does not have any reservation policy on the population and it is universal and it is prone to affect any Indian. Hence, every Indian and all Indian must get united for the affordable and quality health care in India within his individual means.

Health care delivery in India is facing its own challenges both by the service providers and beneficiaries. Health is a state subject but most of the factors which decides the availability, affordability and quality of Health for any Indian are under the ambit of Government of India.

In USA when it faced its recent Presidential Election, Health care was the major social, economic and political issue. China has already arrived a road map and proceeding ahead since 2009.

India needs political will, supported by Bureaucratic system and Judicial system with the principles of liberalized economy to have its plan of action for affordable and quality consumer driven health care for each and every Indian.

Any Government is obliged to make available a reasonable quality health care to its population and have access to it. Therefore Health care delivery to all Indian is required to be weaved into the political agenda.

There are various factors with direct and indirect impact on health care cost influencing the affordability and quality of health care. Every stakeholder of the society directly or indirectly linked with health care delivery system, has a role to play. As on today secondary and tertiary Health care is non-affordable and also not available to the large chunk of the population in India- more specifically for the rural population.

ARMA Medical Foundation proposes to initiate a meet of coalition of various stalk holders, to strengthen and gain the political will. As a first step of this effort, an assembly of stake holders to have an open forum for brainstorming to take forward this thought as an Coalition is being organized.
