Introduction
Inadequacy of medical facility refers to the situation where the medical facilities or resources available are limited or insufficient to meet the basic healthcare need of the population residing in that area. Inadequacy can be in various forms like shortage of healthcare workers, lack of medical equipment or shortage of medicines or poor infrastructure of the hospitals these are the direct factors for the inadequacy of the medical facility but there are also some indirect factors which affect the usage of medical facilities which are influenced by socio- economic factors such as income levels, access to transportation and cultural beliefs and practices which can impact the utilization of health care services and contribute to disparities in healthcare outcomes
  1. Dependent and Independent Variable
    Independent variable is the cause of the report, in this report the independent variable is inadequacy of healthcare facility in rural area and the dependent variable which is the effect of the cause is Sub centre, primary health centre and community health centre are in place design to set and maintain basic level of standard as to quality of medical facility in rural area and the lack of transportation that they have to travel long distance to access the medical facility

    As human being our health and the health of our wellbeing matters a lot. Regardless of our age, gender etc our health to be our most basic and essential asset. Government are responsible for ensuring that everyone regardless of gender, race, religion etc has access to right to health which is a fundamental element of human dignity.

    Part IV of Indian constitution under the DPSP[1] gives social and economic justice to its citizen. Therefore, part IV of constitution directly or indirectly deals to public policy in terms of health.

    Article 21 of Fundamental Rights[2] guarantees a fundamental right to life and personal liberty. The right to health is inherent to a life with dignity

    Article 38,39,42,43and 47 put the obligation on the state in order to ensure the effective realization of the right to health

    Which gives right to every citizen of Indian for the Right to health whether he/she is residing in the rural or urban area, since the people of urban area has the access to use the medical facility but the major problem is faced by the people of rural area since there are various problems related to healthcare and it is the right of every people to have or access of proper health care facility

And collected the data from here

Central Argument
The health care infrastructure in rural areas has been developed as three tier system- Sub centre, primary health centre and community health centre are in place design to set and maintain basic level of standard as to quality of medical facility in rural area. In view of the recovering inadequacy of medical facility related problem. The existing infrastructure of hospital and transportation expense to travel long distance for healthcare access is inadequate and this tier is effective tool of setup and control

Research Question
  • Does there is any primary health centre in their area and is there basic medical facility available for them to access and what are the barriers for facing primary health centre?
  • Does the people of the area are aware of the government schemes related to health which are beneficial for them?

Answering the above questions:
The health care in system in rural area has been developed in three tire centre is a vital heath care facility in rural area that serves as the first point of contract for patients seeking medical attention. Given the limited resources and infrastructure in rural areas, it is important to ensure that primary healthcare centre is well-equipped to meet the healthcare needs of the community.

From the research there are responses recorded which have been found that there is not a primary health care centre in their area, for the primary health care facility people have to travel long distance to access health care and there has been a lack of medical facility in their area and the people of the sampling area has to bear the medical expense since they have to go to the private hospitals to access the healthcare facility

Also, in Developing Rural Primary Health Care Service Areas: An Analysis of Patient Migration Patterns[11]

Also, in Assessment of the Quality of Primary Health Care in India[12]

The people of the area are not even aware of the government schemes that are aimed at improving healthcare services in rural areas.

Some of the key ones include:
  1. National Rural Health Mission (NRHM): This is a flagship program launched by the Government of India in 2005, with the objective of improving the availability and accessibility of quality healthcare services in rural areas.
     
  2. Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana (PM-JAY): This is a health insurance scheme launches in 2018, which provides financial protection to poor and vulnerable families in rural area for secondary and tertiary care hospitalization
     
Analysis of finding:
The pie chart above is showing the rating given by the people of the sample area on medical facility in their area here 1 being highly disappointing and 5 being very satisfied in it majority of people are not satisfied with the medical care facility in their area. In the article of Access of rural poor to primary health care in India[13]- various healthcare related programmes have aimed at the vulnerable sections of the society traditionally using social criteria like Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) populations.

Although they are found to have marginally worse health outcomes than the national average, they are far better than the one's for the poor on economic criteria. The present article examines the coverage of basic primary healthcare services among the below the poverty line (BPL) population in rural areas of India and provides direct empirical evidence. Data used for the study was from a primary sample survey of rural BPL households in six states of India. The results of the survey showed that the coverage of primary healthcare services, such as ante-natal care (ANC), institutional deliveries, and immunisation was very low among the BPL population.

Also, in Health system in India: opportunities and challenges for improvements[14]

Also, in Rural Health Scenario – Role of family medicine: Academy of Family Physicians of India[15]

But in reality, it is found that not only the people who are below the poverty line are affected due to the inadequacy of medical facility but also the people who are above the poverty line also have to faced the problem related to inadequacy of medical facility since they have to face the problem related to it they also have to travel long distance for the healthcare access and they also have to face the problem related to lack of medical infrastructure facilty

The pie chart shows the what are the reason given by the people for the inadequacy of facility of health care The private/public mix in health care in India- Private hospitals and private medical practitioners play a significant part in delivering health care services in India. As the demand for health care has increased, institutions in this sector have expanded widely in both urban and rural areas. The relationship between patient and private practitioner considerably influences the perceived and actual needs about health care. This relationship is expected to play an important role in the control of disease patterns and management.

However, the developments in this sector have prompted concern about the efficiency of resources, equity and access to facilities, and the availability of financing mechanisms to support private health care. Also, the efficiency with which the resources are used in this sector has direct bearing on the cost and quality of services. The existence of these health care institutions therefore has profound implications for the present character of the Indian health care system, and its future course.

Also, in Public-Private Dichotomy in Utilization of Health Care Services in India[16]

But, in reality people have to bear the cost of medical treatment since the majority people living in rural area are not financially strong they have very limited earning and from it they have to take care of the member of the family and if any type of medical emergency arises they also have to pay the medical expense and also the transportation cost to go to the hospital since hospitals are far away from their area.

Conclusion
In conclusion, the findings of this study indicates that the medical facilty in kandoli, Bidholi and Pondha are not good since the people of this area have to suffer a lot since there is lack of facility in their area so they have to travel long distance to access the good quality of health care due to which along with medical expense they also have to bear the travelling expense which they are spending to go to hospitals

The study also highlights that the people of this area are not aware of the government policies which are developed for the benefit of the citizen in which government is supporting the people who are not capable to bear the high medical expense and the people of the area are also not aware of the policies in which government are establishing primary health care in rural area.

From a social perspective establishing the primary healthcare and maintain the good quality of medical facility in rural areas is essential for ensuring the good health care system in rural area, lack of facility create the trouble for the people and the problem faced by them to have good quality of healthcare

From the legal perspective study also indicates that the citizen of India has the Right to health according to article 21 of Indian constitution that it is their fundamental right to get better quality of medical facility and from the survey collected there is lack of facility in their area due to which they have to suffer for the primary healthcare, therefore policymaker and government officials need to take necessary step to setup primary healthcare in these area to improve the quality of health care and it also give some relief to the people that they have to travel long to access health care facility
