Quality of care is the degree to which health services for individuals and populations increase the likelihood of desired health outcomes. It is based on evidence-based professional knowledge and is critical for achieving universal health coverage.
Healthcare organizations must look into convenient care options and other patient services to drive more patient access to healthcare.
The Union government has intensified efforts to focus on health programmes to provide good health care to every citizen of India. Recently, it launched a major programme to achieve the target of universal health coverage. In the last 60 years, several such programmes and policies in the health sector were initiated to expand access to health services, especially in rural areas.
However, the results of many survey and research data show that these efforts couldn’t achieve the ultimate objective of providing good health to everyone. Maternal and infant mortality rates could not be improved to the levels necessary to achieve targets in stipulated timeframes.
