One of the
fundamental rights of every man is to receive necessary
medicare facilities. Majority of our people are
denied and deprived of this right and a large number
of our children are illfed and suffer from malnutrition
and ill health. Subsequently they become victims
of various diseases due to lack of education and
knowledge about health care and preventive measures.
Medicare facilities as a whole are very limited
in the country. Although medical facilities are
available to some extent in the cities and towns,
majority of the people of the rural area die without
medicare and treatment after prolong sufferings
from various disease.
A good number or newly graduated doctors from Medical
Colleges are unemployed. Many of the medical graduates
are waiting for job because the opportunity for
Government service is limited. If these young doctors
could be self-employed by extending investment facilities,
they could make modern medical facilities available
at the door-steps of rural people.
Besides, experienced and specialist physicians who
are providing medicare facilities to the people
in different towns with their limited and outdated
medical equipment will be able to improve the standard
of their techniques of treatment and also make the
modern treatment facilities available to more people,
if investment facilities are extended to them for
procurement of modern and improved medical equipment.

to ensure good health for all and the government
is also committed to ensure good health for all
by 2000 years.
