Health Insurance and Financial Protection Among Older Adults in India
Investing in nutrition throughout the first 8000 days of life
Nutrition plays a fundamental role in human development, especially during critical growth periods. It is already well recognised that the first 1000 days—from conception to a child’s second birthday—are vital for cognitive, physical and immune system development, and setting a child on a positive trajectory for subsequent growth. Less well recognised is the importance of the next 7000 days (ages 2–21) when good nutrition continues to be importan…
Prevalence and factors associated with hypertension in rural areas of Naubatpur block of Patna District in Bihar, India
The high prevalence of hypertension and pre-hypertension among the adult population residing in the rural area is a serious public health concern. Public health policymakers and professionals need to create awareness, early identification, and prevention programs in rural areas to focus on modifiable behaviors in rural areas to combat the menace of diseases associated with hypertension
Provincial Citizenship
State domicile has gained prominence as a governance framework in India, as several state governments have taken protectionist policy decisions to privilege the interests of ‘residents’ against migrants. The principle operates on the two registers of politics of belonging and constitutionality and puts the construct of singular citizenship of the nation-state under strain. Primarily focusing on Jharkhand, this article studies the contentious poli…
Depression Among India's Older Adults
Kerala’s progress towards universal health coverage
Overall increase in the share of public facilities for both outpatient care and hospitalization is indicative of the enhanced trust among the people at large of the public healthcare delivery system in Kerala, post the launch of UHC reforms in the State. The insurance linked UHC reforms would be insufficient for the State to progress further towards UHC. Kerala with a long and successful history in 'public provisioning' should focus more on stren…
Comparative evaluation of the tensile and compressive strength of three light cured bulk-filled composite core build up material
Introduction- The loss of a considerable amount of tooth structure makes retention of subsequent restorations more problematic and increases likelihood of fracture during functional loading. Different clinical techniques are there, one such technique is post and core. An ideal core build- up material must present excellent mechanical properties to resist the stresses that may be produced during function, providing equitable stress distributions o…
Missed opportunities for delivering nutrition interventions in first 1000 days of life in India
OBJECTIVES: Existing health and community nutrition systems have the potential to deliver many nutrition interventions. However, the coverage of nutrition interventions across the delivery platforms of these systems has not been uniform. We (1) examined the opportunity gaps between delivery platforms and corresponding nutrition interventions through the continuum of care in India between 2006 and 2016 and and (2) assessed inequalities in these op…

BACKGROUND: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) outbreak, called coronavirus disease - 2019 (COVID-19), has affected more than 200 countries across the globe with a higher fatality rate among the elderly population. Aim of the study is to highlight the vulnerability of the aged amidst the current COVID-19 pandemic, and in the light of the recent international evidence, suggests what government could do to mitigate their v…
Effectiveness of government strategies for financial protection against costs of hospitalization Care in India
Periodic surveys are essential to guide policy choices regarding the appropriate mix of strategies for financial protection in pluralistic systems. There is a need for caution regarding any shift in the role of governments from providing services to purchasing care, given the contexts and limitations of currently available PFHIs. Even with tax-funded public services, although the average OOPE is lower than the care purchased through PFHIs, there …
