Quality Health Care: Quality Management Health Care, Quality in Health Care, Quality Care Health Plan

The general health scenario consists of three aspects : preventive, curative and referral. Preventive aspect deals with the information that prevents the disease from happening. Curative aspects deal with medicine and surgery. The cases which are referred to the doctor after diagnosis are called referral cases.

So apart from hospitals and doctors one is need of the following to stay healthy

Information center to know what causes the diseases and the ways to prevent them
A knowledgeable person who can diagnose/suspect about the diseaseHealth
Insurance schemes (covering life too) to come handy in case of sudden ailments

On preventive health alone one deals with the following topics

Cause of diseases
Ante-natal care
Post natal care
Nutrition : Wash vegetables before cutting, have three colors of food in daily diet (white, orange and green), Cook food with minimum water with a covering over the container.
Water and Sanitation : Environment pollution, neighborhood cleanliness, personal hygiene, safe drinking water
Immunization
Family Planning : Age of mother at first child, interval between two children, number of children, education and upbringing of children, family planning pills, other family planning methods, Family planning operations (tubectomy/vasectomy)
HIV AIDS/STD
Gender : The women are more at risk than men because of their work responsibilities at home, in the community and as bread earner. For example, a woman who is more exposed to water, will get more water related diseases pertaining to the duration of exposure or the quality of water (standing in salt water at waist deep water can make the reproductive track vulnerable).
Knowledge of Govt. programmes and liasioning facilities: The women are not normally endowed with bargaining capacity in terms of availing govt. health programmes. There are measures to unite the women under one umbrella like forming cooperatives. This is with a vision to make them achieve together which they may not be able to achieve alone immediately.
Legal rights: Violence against women, divorce, sexual harassment
Health Insurance: For secondary treatment, where hospitalization is required, the expenses incurred by a person are much more than one can afford. For this one can take a health insurance which covers accidents, and death. This may be returned back to the person at the end of the term with interest so that for a poor person it also is a form of saving. In case of getting back the money, a person would also like to invest a big amount. Quite a few people at rural level can get employment working as agents to various health products.
Healthy living: Quit smoking, have enough exercise, eat raw

Curative aspect

Alternative low cost medicine: locally available eatable greens, applicable leaves and other green medicines which ranges from papaya and guava to Himalayan Gojji and Ma Yuang.
Yoga
Getting quick medical test
Getting a right prescription
Planning for surgery

Producing a health cadre

Since there are not enough doctors to cater to the needs of the people, there has to be a health cadre who would take care of daily occurrences of health dysfunction. Minor ailments or seasonal ailments can be handled by these para-medical forces in emergencies. Para-medical people should come from army as well as common citizens who may be medicine distributors, bone healers etc.

The living conditions for the old,and handicapped is better
There is better scope for elders to express and get involved.
Morbidity is reduced.
