Abstract

Public health services, which reduce a population’s exposure to disease through such measures as sanitation and vector control, are an essential part of a country’s development infrastructure. For various reasons, mostly of political economy, public fund for health services in India have been focused largely on medical services, and public health services have been neglected. This is reflected in a virtual absence of modern public health regulations, and of systematic planning and delivery of public health services (Dasgupta, 2006). With growing urban population and urban poverty, it is imperative that health concerns of the large urban poor are addressed. Government fiscal constraints, together with the need for expansion and augmentation of curative and tertiary facility for providing public health services have been some of the key drivers underlying the recent growth of public private partnership in the health sector in most developing countries. The public private partnership in health sector is likely to improve the delivery of health care services besides development and management of health infrastructure more efficiently. Against this view point, present paper purports to review the health care delivery in urban India and examining the role of public private partnership in health sector.
