"The lack of human resources for health, more in rural than urban areas, is the biggest challenge for achieving UHC in India. But it ultimately comes down to two core problems: lack of compassionate teaching and glorification of specialization. These two have led young doctors to get stuck in a rat race where they start their medical education journey in high school and end it once they are highly sub-specialized. A resource-limited primary health system can not employ these highly specialized health professionals. As these health centres need more human resources, they tend to stay the same or even worsen (if possible), forming a vicious cycle. I was fortunate to get trained by highly compassionate doctors in an institute that kept me in touch with the ground reality while turning me into a skilled health professional. A similar training program at the national level could solve these problems and help us in achieving UHC," says Parth Sharma, Junior Resident, Department of Community Medicine, Maulana Azad Medical College, Delhi |
