A “briefing” memo on your issue that will be 6-8 pages double-spaced (not including references or other material) and will provide a briefing of your policy terrain for your “client”. I will attach the format.
Issue: The lack of access to hospitals and medications in India is an issue that primarily emerges due to its vast population, which leads to a limited capacity of healthcare resources.
Policy recommendation: The current budgetary strategies should be updated to cover all citizens in public and private healthcare. The government can achieve this by implementing foreign insurance policies and requesting international healthcare funds from organizations such as the UN. It is also important for the government to ensure there is a strategic and effective partnership between public and private hospitals. An ideal approach with the insurance program would be that secondary care is targeted towards public hospitals and tertiary care is targeted towards private hospitals, however, due to the great population and severe shortage of staff and supplies, there is desperation for healthcare accessibility across the country.
