 The Idea of Justice

Amartya Sen Nobel Laureate in Economics, Professor

Economics and Philosophy, Harvard University
''The Idea of Justice'' is based on the philosophy

On climate change talks: By force of idea, we have

the opportunity to present to the world what
should be done, rather than what should not be
done.

China's leadership brought in reforms on

education and healthcare before market reforms,
and that India had much to learn from it on the
management of the market economy.

Given that government as well as private sector spending
on healthcare is much below the World Healthcare
Organisation (WHO) recommended standards
Insurance model for rural areas needs to be created for
affordability, and a management structure needs to be
put in place for oversight.
NGOs can also play a key role in the healthcare service
delivery model in rural areas.
Public-Private Partnership programs.
A healthcare revolution would include addressing the
shortage of doctors and nurses through education and
training and focusing on accreditation as well as
standardization with a long term view
