• One of the aims of elderly care is to help elderly people and those with disabilities live
normal, independent lives. This includes living in their own homes as long as possible.
• Elderly people who continue to live at home can obtain various kinds of support to make life
easier. For example, almost all municipalities in Sweden offer ready-cooked meals that can
be home-delivered.
• In 2014, home help staff assisted around 221,600 people aged 65 or over. Almost half of the
country’s municipalities also provide communal meals for the elderly at special day centers,
while a few organise small groups of elderly people into teams that cook their own meals.
• Each municipality decides its own rates for elderly care. The cost depends on such factors as the level
or type of help provided and the person’s income. The maximum charge for home help, daytime
activities and certain other kinds of care is SEK 1,772 per month (2016).
• Municipalities offer daytime activities for elderly and disabled people in need of stimulation and
rehabilitation. These activities primarily target those with dementia or mental disabilities. Daytime
activities help many to continue to live in their homes.
• Transportation services
• The elderly and disabled also qualify for transportation services in taxis or specially adapted vehicles.
This option is available to those who are unable to travel by regular public transport. In 2014, 11
million such journeys were completed across the country, a national average of 35 per eligible person.
• The 06 month survey conducted from January to June 2014 was aimed at generating basic
quantitative information on the health sector.
• Though the number of people in need of treatment is lesser in rural India, the untreated spell was
higher in rural areas.
• the survey found that in the urban population 4.4% were hospitalized at some time during a
reference period of one year while this ratio was 3.5% in rural India.
• In rural India, 42% of hospitalized treatment was carried out in public hospitals. In urban
India, the corresponding figure were 32%.
• Since both rural and urban India depended on private hospitals for treatment, their
spending for hospitalization was also higher. The average cost of treatment in a private
hospital was Rs 25,850 as compared to Rs 6,120 charged in a public hospital.
• The highest expenditure was recorded for treatment of cancer (Rs 56,712), followed by that
for cardiovascular diseases (Rs 31,647). Average medical expenditure per non-
hospitalization case was Rs 509 in rural India and Rs 639 in urban India.
• Dr S S Agarwal, former president, Indian Medical Association, says: “While the idea of only prescribing
generics is good, it is not practical in India. The doctor’s job will now be only to diagnose the ailment.
Using standard procedures of treatment for an ailment, the chemist will start selling drugs.” Agarwal also
highlights that procuring generics is a problem in India, as domestic manufacturing is not robust. He cites
the example Jan Aushadhi Stores where generics are sold at lower prices. “At any time, only 200 of the 600
drugs that the government planned to sell at the Pradhan Mantri Jan Aushadhi Store are available. There
has never been a day when all 600 drugs are there.” The Bureau of Pharma PSUs of India (BPPI) is the
nodal implementation agency for this programme.
•
• This is not the first time the government has planned such a policy. In 1978, there was a similar attempt
which the pharmaceutical industry had challenged in court.
BPPI writes to all the State Governments with a request to open Pradhan Mantri Bhartiya Jan Aushadhi Kendra in their states. The State
Government, Department of Health would make recommendations in favour of the operating agency who would run the Kendra and also
instruct the District Hospital Authority to provide the minimum space conforming to standards as approved by BPPI in the Hospital premises.
The location of the Kendra should be at such a place which is easily accessible to the OPD patients, preferably at the entry of the hospital &
given to the agency free of cost. The State Government needs to issue suitable instructions to the Hospitals/ Doctors for prescribing generic
medicines. Other entities may approach BPPI either on the basis of advertisement issued by BPPI or suomoto with a complete application
along with the supporting documents mentioned at sl. no 13 above. An agreement is to be entered into between BPPI and the operating agency
before the JAS starts functioning and BPPI makes arrangements for dispatch of medicines.
