Download or read book Equity and Access written by Purendra Prasad and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-17 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Equity and Access attempts to unravel the complex narrative of why inequities in the health sector are growing and access to basic health care is worsening, and the underlying forces that contribute to this situation. It draws attention to the way globalization has influenced India’s development trajectory as healthcare issues have assumed significant socio-economic and political significance in contemporary India. The volume explains how state and market forces have progressively heightened the iniquitous health care system and the process through which substantial burden of meeting health care needs has fallen on the individual households. Twenty-eight scholars comprising social scientists, medical experts, public health experts, policy makers, health activists, legal experts, and gender specialists have delved into the politics of access for different classes, castes, gender, and other categories to contribute to a new field ‘health care studies’ in this volume. Adopting an interdisciplinary approach within a broader political-economy framework, the volume is useful for understanding power relations within social groups and complex organizational systems.

Download or read book GENDER AND DECENTRALIZATION written by Simi Afonja & Monica Alagbile and published by ChudacePublishing. This book was released on with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GENDER & DECENTRALISATION Gender and Decentralization in Nigeria is a product of two years’ research sponsored by the Gender Unit of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada, as part of its Gender and Decentralization Program for sub-Saharan Africa. The overall objective of the program was to document and analyze specific state decentralization reforms that have worked to promote women’s rights, and/or reforms that have created barriers to the protection and realization of these rights. At the core of the Nigerian project were women’s representation and political effectiveness in local administration. The issues transcended the usual structural analysis of the political, administrative and fiscal changes associated with decentralization and a breakdown by gender. Given the centrality of equity and accountability issues in current good governance debates, a feminist perspective on voice and action was inserted into the traditional public administration perspective. Going beyond numbers, description of gender inequitable electioneering processes, poor accountability of the state, of political parties and the women’s constituency, the book also focusses on feminist political activism at the grassroots level. The authors also document the potential impact of re-politicizing civil society, and restructuring of gender ideologies to achieve self determination and increase women representation and political effectiveness.

Download or read book Violence against Women and Girls written by Sangeeta Rege and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2020-05-27 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the pervasiveness of violence against women (VAW) in India and traces its evolution as a public health concern. It highlights the fundamental relationship between health and violence and identifies institutional gaps, which hinder comprehensive healthcare and support to VAW survivors. The volume brings together in-depth case studies from various states and civil society organisations on their initiatives to help bring adequate support and health services to women affected by VAW. These include engagement with hospitals to increase awareness and sensitivity among health service providers and community-run health clinics for marginalised women. The book documents the mobilising efforts of feminists, community-based organisations, state institutions, and CSOs in developing comprehensive healthcare responses and bringing violence against women into the public health discourse. It provides insights into the lack of guidelines for responding to sexual violence in medical and nursing education, and the way that the police and the justice system function in India. This book will be of interest to public health professionals, and students and researchers in public health, gender studies, social work, and sociology. It will also be useful for policymakers and for professionals working for thinktanks or CSOs working on developing health system responses to VAW.

Download or read book Achieving Inclusive Growth in the Asia Pacific written by Adam Triggs and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world’s developed economies are experiencing a sharp backlash against globalisation, and it appears to be contagious. Will Asia catch it next? Asia has seen spectacular growth in recent decades. It has benefited substantially from global trade, finance, openness and the rules-based international order. But much of the growth Asia has enjoyed has not been shared. It has not been inclusive growth. Inequality in Asia is among the highest in the world. The richest man in Vietnam now earns more in a single day than the poorest person does in a decade. Asia has far to go in making its societies more inclusive to women, ethnic minorities and the LGBT community. How can Asia reduce inequality? What are the forces that determine whether growth in the Asia Pacific is inclusive or not? And what can be done to make Asia’s growth more inclusive in the future? This book brings together the region’s leading thinkers to explore how to change Asia’s trajectory, before it is too late. The Pacific Trade and Development (PAFTAD) conference series has been at the forefront of analysing challenges facing the economies of East Asia and the Pacific since its first meeting in Tokyo in January 1968.
Download or read book Domestic Violence and Health Care in India written by Meerambika Mahapatro and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-05-30 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses health care issues related to domestic violence, using extensive case studies from India. By discussing the global literature, legal systems, methodological challenges of gathering information on domestic violence, and health systems issues, along with learnings from case studies, it fills a significant gap in the literature between health care policy and practice vis-à-vis victims of domestic violence. It therefore enables a systemic and systematic response to incidents of domestic violence. Policy instructions, court verdicts, government interventions, community-based direct interventions and related case discussions in the book help in the understanding and management of cases. Though the book uses case studies from India, it addresses globally relevant issues for health care professionals. In view of the paucity of application of systematic evidence-based knowledge, the holistic perspective presented in the book is important to prevent domestic violence, protect women’s rights, and promote healthcare and wellbeing of women and children facing domestic violence. Medical professionals are expected to intervene in instances of injuries related to domestic violence---a responsibility that they are currently unable to fulfil due to lack of training in recognizing abuse and lack of tools for intervention. This book improves hands-on-knowledge by providing information on where to refer victims for assistance and timely intervention. Comprehensive yet lucid, this book is useful for academics, policy makers, non-government organizations and women’s rights groups in helping victims during and after a violent episode and also in improving reporting and referral services.

Download or read book Healthcare Concepts for Women in India Problems of the System and Ways to Solve Them written by Navrup Kaur and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2021-08-12 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Health - Health system, grade: 1,0, University of Applied Sciences Lübeck, language: English, abstract: This paper focusses on the issue of cultural misogyny and how this effects the health of women in India. It mainly analyses the structural and cultural problems that directly affect the women’s health. Therefore, the second chapter outlines the most important facts and figures of the sub-continent. In the third chapter, the structure of the health system is discussed in further precision. The National Health Plan (NHP) is examined in more detail, and the structure and role of the healthcare centers is explained. The chapter ends with information about the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) that was created to accompany the National Health Plan, which therefore focuses more intensively on the conditions of rural areas. In more bucolic regions and hard-to-reach places, the access to medicine is difficult. Women and girls in particular are dependent on male members of the family, as they are usually never educated or do not have the opportunity and permission to travel alone. These problems and many others that women have to endure are addressed in the following chapter. Women are immensely disadvantaged because of their gender. This relates both to the cultural aspect and the role of women and runs through the health sector. Hygiene, violence and pregnancy are dangerous factors for Indian women due to lack of education and the patriarchal society. In this regard, both some state programs and private organizations have been trying to educate and support women in their position. For this purpose, numerous concepts have been developed to support women in the respective problem areas. Concepts, which go beyond the health-related, are to enlighten women and to help to overcome misogyny in this area retroactively and future-oriented. The concepts are evaluated in the last chapter with regard to their effect, achievement of objectives and acceptance. It will be attempted to clarify whether the individual concepts are useful and to what extent they could perhaps even be improved.
