10/90 GAP IN GLOBAL HEALTH
Jay Kumar Sharma* and Neha Pathodia
ABSTRACT “The first wealth is health,” American philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote in 1860.[1] The quote is still very relevant even after 150 years. Global healthcare can be defined as an area for study, research and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving health equity for all people worldwide.[2] Globally a big budget is spend for the healthy wellbeing of the population. U.S. health care spending grew 4.6 percent in 2019, reaching $3.8 trillion or $11,582 per person. As a share of the nation's Gross Domestic Product, health spending accounted for 17.7 percent.[3] However, if we compare this with India, healthcare spending for 2018 was $73 per capita, a 5.07% increase from 2017.[4] Therefore, it seems true that the health care scenario is different between developed and developing countries. This is unequal not only among countries but also within countries in developing ones. Keywords: . [Download Article] [Download Certifiate] |
