Dr B Prasanna Soundari

Abstract :

 World Health Organisation’s millennium report ranked India’s health care system at 112 out of 190 countries and triggered the Indian health care transition. Having recognised health as an inalienable human right that every individual can justly claim the Government intervention focuses on Universal Health Coverage that assures to benefit the sixth of the world’s population at an estimated cost of Rs.1.6 trillions and is driven by the nation’s low cost of treatment. The cost of a surgery in India is just one tenth when compared to United States or Western Europe and has shaped India as a global medical destination. Further the nation follows state administered health care enabling a glocal orientation. Tamilnadu a state in South India has excelled itself in providing healthcare at low cost and is acknowledged as a benchmark for the developing world backed by Chennai’s and Coimbatore’s scientific and management temper. Leveraging on the presence of super speciality hospitals the Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry- Coimbatore has envisaged the metro to be a health city like Dubai and has initiated plans propelled by huge investments. The visualisation of Coimbatore as an ideal city for health care warrants monitoring of the existing environment. The Donabedian –Tamilnadu Health Systems Project matrix applied to scrutinise Coimbatore’s quality of care sets the course for strategic action to realise the districts vision.
