Katyal, A and Vikram Singh, P and Bergkvist, S and Samarth, A and Rao, M (2015) Private sector participation in delivering tertiary health care: a dichotomy of access and affordability across two Indian states. Health Policy Plan, 30 (1). i23-i31.

Abstract

Poor quality care in public sector hospitals coupled with the costs of care in the private sector have trapped India's poor in a vicious cycle of poverty, ill health and debt for many decades. To address this, the governments of Andhra Pradesh (AP) and Maharashtra (MH), India, have attempted to improve people’s access to hospital care by partnering with the private sector. A number of government-sponsored schemes with differing specifications have been launched to facilitate this strategy.
