Health and Medical Care Services: Claims on National Resources v Synergy of Health, Poverty and Economic Development (With Reference To Rural Odisha) Anjali Dash =================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 13:4 April 2013 =================================================================== Abstract Improvements in health result in improvements in national income, poverty could decline on account of both the standard ‘trickle-down’ effects and an increased financial capacity of nations to set up safety nets. Poverty can have an adverse impact on health because of malnutrition and also due to poor sanitation; unsafe drinking water supply etc. Odisha is an eastern state of India. Health infrastructures of Odisha are far from requirements and the outcomes of health are far from satisfactory. This is because of, both, inadequate and unequal health care facilities to the population as well as due to insufficient affordable capacity of majority of the people. There is a heavy burden of diseases prevalent in Odisha. This is a micro level study base on rural Odisha. Main objective of this paper is to analyse the relationship between health, poverty and economic development on rural masses and to understand the cause of unequal health outcomes. The study also strives to analyse allocation of resources for health care system as well as people’s financing pattern on health care which affect to their livelihood situation. Health related expenditure increases debt position of the poor household and they are again in poverty trap. Key Words: Health, Poverty, Development, Indebtness. Introduction The role of health in influencing economic outcomes has been well understood at the micro level. Healthier workers are likely to be able to work longer, be generally more productive than their relatively less healthy counterparts, and consequently able to secure higher earnings than the latter, all else being the same; illness and disease shorten the working lives of people, thereby reducing their lifetime earnings. Better health also has a positive effect on the learning abilities of children, and Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 13:4 April 2013 C. Subburaman, Ph.D. (Ed.) Health and Medical Care Services: Claims on National Resources Anjali Dash Synergy of Health, Poverty and Economic Development (With Reference To Rural Odisha) 1 leads to better educational outcomes (school completion rates, higher mean years of schooling, achievements) and increases the efficiency of human capital formation by individuals and households (Strauss and Thomas 1998; Schultz 1999). Health has a positive and statistically significant effect on the rate of growth of GDP per capita. Higher incomes potentially permit individuals (and societies) to afford better nutrition, better health care and, presumably, achieve better health. Improvements in health result in improvements in national income, poverty could decline on account of both the standard ‘trickle-down’ effects and an increased financial capacity of nations to set up safety nets.

  • Chengalpattu District
    DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT District Disaster Management Authority Chengalpattu District, Tamil Nadu DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 2020 DISTRICT DISASTER MANAGEMENT AUTHORITY CHENGALPATTU DISTRICT TAMIL NADU PREFACE Endowed with all the graces of nature’s beauty and abundance, the newly created district of Chengalpattu is a vibrant administrative entity on the North eastern part of the state of Tamil Nadu. In spite of the district’s top-notch status in terms of high educational, human development index and humungous industrial productivity, given its geography, climate and certain other socio-political attributes, the district administration and its people have to co-exist with the probabilities of hazards like floods, cyclone, Tsunami, drought, heat wave, lightning and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear emergencies. The Disastrous events in the recent past like the Tsunami of 2004, the catastrophic floods of year 2015, the cyclone of year 2016 and most recently the COVID-19 pandemic, will serve as a testament to the district’s vulnerability to such hazards. How the society responds to such vagaries of nature decides the magnitude and intensity of the destruction that may entail hazardous events. It is against this back drop, the roll of the District Disaster Management Authority can be ideally understood. The change in perspective from a relief- based approach to a more holistic disaster management approach has already begun to gain currency among the policy makers due to its substantial success in efficient handling of recent disasters across the globe. The need of the hour, therefore, is a comprehensive disaster management plan which is participative and people-friendly with the component of inter- departmental co-ordination at its crux.
