How can we maximize health returns through increasing financial resources for Health?

Public expenditure on health at the end of the 11th Plan period was at 1.04% of GDP. Additionally, 70% of total expenditure on health is out of pocket. Studies show that out of pocket expenditure on health in India may be contributing to increase in poverty by approximately 3.6% for rural areas and 2.9% for urban areas. Public health spending in India remains among the lowest among comparable countries. It is clear that there is a need to raise more resources for health. Since spending on health need not only be through central government allocations, novel methods for raising additional funds must also be explored. Please view the detailed paper Working Paper 2/2015- Increasing Financial Resources for Health and provide your suggestions on additional methods for increasing resources for health.

As at present at government hospitals in Karnataka, I have noticed that there are more than 300products reserved for Government Manufacturers such as Karnataka Antibiotics & Hindustan Latex. The Government is forced to give them orders for their reserved products at almost two - three times the rates available in market & barring them from participating in the Tender system. The Govt. of Karnataka are seeking funds from the Central for health to pay heavy prices for purchases from these entity
