An experiment In mother and child care delivers results

In India failing to provide public health services in the state of Gujrat they contracted OBs GNY practitioners in private practice.They compensated them at on average cost of rupees 1795 per delivery which is about 40 dollars .In US average cost of a child birth may be in excess of 12000 dollars.

In the process many practitioners were able to improve their earnings to 20000 dollars per year which is a handsome ammount.

This is not a silver bullet to the problem .With a shortage of services and many times money to pay for it A complicated pregnancy can ruin the finances of a family and put them in a downward spiral of financial ruin.The government has made a leap in service and is providing solutions out of the box .Mixing the public and private for the public good.

It would be good if in America we could get some benefits of the systems they are creating for the universal problems we all share.

May be their are solutions Like unique Identification they are creating in India .Security of personal data is very critical in our society.Hope we can help each other from the experiences we have and develop. It is always important to use just enough medicine to treat the ailment.
