Abstract :
Healthcare services and health insurance scheme-related problems are the reflections of the socioeconomic,
cultural and inherited trends of a region. The health of a population may fulfil many criteria
of well-being in the long run. But unavailable and inappropriate health care service facilities of many
Community Development Blocks (COB) of South 24 Parganas district are an all-time concern among
the commoners. “Health is wealth” is a term which indicates overall health status, economic prosperity
and human development of a country. The population of developing countries like India depends upon
the internal development of health care. A healthy environment is dependent on the well-being of a
population. Due to fear of high health care expenses and its impoverishment, most people take selfmedication
or traditional resources for healing which are very risky, mostly non-scientific and often
poor quality of short-term beneficial treatment compounded to professional care. Government of
developing countries are now allocating a higher percentage of their resources towards health sector
and launching various Health Insurance Schemes to provide health care protection especially for the
low-income group.in this study, the present scenario of the population in large scale has been observed
which should come under health insurance coverage and also they should get proper health care
services because healthy population makes a healthy environment which can enhance the growth of
HDI and GDI of a country.
