The Right to Health or the Right to Stay Unhealthy? Asks Salil Kallianpur ..................................................................................................................... Some people argue that the government should deliver healthcare directly to the poor. Others favor cash transfers. Just to be sure this piece assumes that the role of the government is primarily limited to financing healthcare which is not envisaged in the govt’s policy document. It is difficult to say which approach seems the most favorable in an area with this magnitude of social impact. Published literature suggests that contrary to popular sentiment, conditional cash transfers are necessary but not sufficient for improving health. Instead, good government-funded health care is essential, as are schemes which address social determinants of health. salilkallianpur.wordpress/2015/01/11/the-right-to-health-or-the-right-to-stay-unhealthy/
