Abstract

We need Universal healthcare in India, Government has launched world’s biggest health insurance programme covering half billion population with risk cover of INR 500,000 ($ 7500). Free healthcare will take away one major worry of poor masses. Things are going to change over the years with better healthcare, less sickness, less work loss, no medical expenditure related bankruptcy, better economic prospects & more food availability. This scheme will lead to enhanced business activities at all level, will create the job at many levels, there will the expansion of healthcare industry, but later it will lead to increased pollution and climate change leading to the new spectrum of diseases, increased health care use and increased insurance expenditure. Major problem is that corruption involves various layers of the healthcare system, including care providers, pharmacies, laboratories, corporate hospitals, mom and pop hospitals, clinics, pharmaceutical and instrument companies. Policymakers should use all technologies based measures including artificial intelligence, block chain technology, universal biometrics in healthcare, global positioning system, digital monitoring, mobile applications, point of care technologies, system reforms, big data collection, nudging, mobile health, telehealth, mass education, culture change and strong laws to prevent corruption as well as illness. Avoidance of inspector policy is best. For the success of the programme mines of healthcare, corruption must be destroyed.
