Author(s) Dr. Sunil Manakawad

Abstract India has a rich centuries-old heritage of medical and health sciences. However, over the centuries, with the intrusion of foreign influences and mingling of cultures, various systems of medicines evolved and have continued to be practiced widely. The allopathic system of medicine gained popularity under the British rule and made a major impact on the entire approach to health care in the country after Independence. The health care system in India, at present, has a three-tier structure to provide health care services to its people. The first tire known as primary tire has been developed to provide health care services to the vast majority of rural people. India has been focusing on relevant infrastructure, technology, disease control, and health outcomes in terms of deaths and disability-adjusted life years, and largely ignoring the quality of healthcare & reproductive healthcare services to the rural population through the primary health care system. Many researchers have found the failure in the PHC system in delivering the services namely the unavailability of facilities at health centers, unsatisfactory situation of patients, absenteeism of doctors, lack of rehabilitative services, under five mortality and child mortality etc. These outcomes show us the failure of primary health care system. This writing makes an attempt to find the answer to the question; whether the primary health care system in India is at the cross roads with regards to delivery of quality of healthcare and reproductive healthcare services? This writing is solely based on the secondary data.
