The Gender Inequality --A Perceptive Threat to Health

Impressive achievements and intolerable shortcomings characterise India's Health Programme and Haryana as well over the last 65 years. Not only has there been a decline in mortality rates ,but life expectancy and infant survival conditions have also improved. But, it is still very high when we copmare with other countries .The world bank notes that public health financing in India is characterised by an emphasis on hospital rather than primary care; urban rather than rural population;medical offices rather than paramedics;services that have larger private rather than social returns;and family planning and child health exclusion of wider aspects of female health. In fact ,gender diffrences in health and mortality have not  perpetuated but also accentuated.
