The question of right to health has emerged as one of the most vibrant issues for discussion in this new Millennium. Health care involves ever-changing challenges. The national and local decisions regarding health are affected by the global forces and policies. The effect of globalization on health has resulted in substantial gains for some groups and severe marginalization of others. India bears 21% of global disease burden on its shoulders. This is coupled with spiraling health costs, high financial burden on the poor and erosion in their incomes. Around 24% of all people hospitalized in India in a single year fall below the poverty line. An analysis of financing of hospitalization shows that large proportion of people, especially those in the bottom four income quintiles borrow money or sell assets to pay for hospitalization. The Current Book investigates into the major questions of Publis Health with special focus on Women and Child Health Rights which have largely been neglected issues.
