poverty, illiteracy, ignorance, unemployment, underemployment maximum rural number of
dwellers, unplanned urbanization, slums, migration, religion, customs, traditions, complex
culture, indigenous heath care system, faith healers and quacks, on the whole health for all
is still mirage. A developing country like India has to opt for need based innovative
strategies due to a large population and scarce resources. A country like India has to opt
for education as one of the most important and useful tools to achieve national
development. Present medical education system has to focus more on social and
preventive aspect of health care, modifiable social determinants of health, social factors
influencing health care, health care management and even regular follow ups and
rehabilitation process.
