Executive Summary
Health is wealth goes an old adage. Access to healthcare facilities and their
healthcare services consumption ensures physical, mental and emotional well being
and thus enhancing economic well being. The wealth of health becomes even more
important in case of poor people simply because a large portion of their income is
result of physical labour. An episode of sickness means deprivation from a square
meal, indebtedness or may be worse
than that. India Census data reveals that
rural poor in India spend around 7% of
their annual consumption income on
healthcare.
India is a vast country facing mammoth
development challenges. To put it in perspective India’s
population surpasses whole of the Europe and Americas and sheer geographical
size surpasses EU member states. India Spent 4.2 % of its GDP on consuming
healthcare services in 2012 which is way lower than the developing countries like
Brazil and China and way lower than the developed countries like UK,USA etc
Public healthcare system in India faces a lot of challenges like understaffed public
health facilities and overcrowded health centres. On one hand, the country flaunts its
open market prowess, rate of economic growth and status of being world’s largest
democracy, However, at the same time around 32% (World Bank Poverty Data1) of its

population lives below poverty line of USD1.25 a day, 90% of the work force and
about 50% of the GDP are accounted for by unorganised sectors (Indian National
Statistical Commission,20122) and more than 70% of population lives in Villages.
Even though India has improved its HDI performance by 1.7% since 1980 (The ToI3),
unfortunately India fares extremely poor in UNHDI and ranks 136 globally
The GoI spends 2.5% of its annual budget on public healthcare systems, however
total healthcare costs though is as high as 6% of the GDP. Public expenditure is just
20% of total healthcare costs/year. Which means around 80% of the expenses are
out of pocket (The World Bank Open Data4).
Business Analysts are quite bullish and ride on the growth in the sector, according to
a report the health market in India is going to be of the tune of USD 158 Bn by 2017 (
CII,20135) . Health being the state subject issue in India, states perform at their own
pace and wholesome public health-care for poor is still a mirage.
It is in this context; this study explores and evaluates some banal questions
regarding accessibility of public health care services and how readily they demand
side barriers faced by common people in rural Rajasthan. The study attempts to
evaluate if traditional health practice could be employed in framework of social
business to ensure affordable healthcare service for poor. The research
investigations are carried out with the field support of the staff of Jagran – a
livelihoods NGO at Village Jagat and its adjoining hamlets viz Karakali, Bhatia-talao
and Road-da in Udaipur district of the Indian State of Rajasthan . The study is

carried out as a part of the summer school programme at the Indian Institute of
Management, Udaipur India and Sanford Duke School of Public Policy, Durham NC,
USA.
The study is a diagnostic one and employs eclectic methodologies including
qualitative as well as quantitative. The report is product of 73 person interviews, six
focus group discussions across three hamlets6 ranging from supply-side players
namely public health service providers to traditional healers (gunis) and faith healers
( bhopa). On demand side, a conscious effort was made to meet and capture
information from various sections of village society.
6 A hamlet is a set of houses that are close together, share a community center, and constitute a separate entity. A village is an
administrative boundary. A village comprises 1-‐15 hamlets.

Introduction
The study was conducted in a village called
Jagat (and its adjoining hamlets viz Bhatia
Talao, Rod-da, Karakali ) of Gerwa tehsil in
Udaipur district of Rajasthan State under the
theme of health services . To put findings in
perspective a brief analysis of the key
indicators of state and the district are captured in this part of the report.
Rajasthan is the largest state of India in terms of geographical area and is located in
the western part of the country. Although, it constitutes 10.8% of the area, on
economic and human development indicators it fares poor. In relation to
population, Rajasthan ranks 8th in India (68 Million) which is around 5.6% of India’s
population7. On HDI indicators, it
finds its place among India’s
bottom seven states with an HDI
rank8 of 0.434 (whereas the national
average is 0.467). On economic
indicators, it lags far behind than
other Indian states; its Per capita
Income at current price is USD 587
which is way below the national
India average of USD 795, however
interestingly in terms of State Gross domestic product (SGDP) Rajasthan ranks at
number eight and contributes to 4.1% of India’s GDP (Planning commission of India

documents9 ). It is in this context, the state subject of public health remains a prime
focus and a challenging area for the state government
Narrowing down to Udaipur district where this study was conducted is one of the
poorest districts of Rajasthan State (and India). The district has 2479 villages spread
across ten sub-districts or blocks. Its total population is 2.6 million out of which
around 82% resides in rural areas. Udaipur is predominately a tribal belt with 60% of
population as schedule tribe in rural areas. In terms of HDI, Udaipur district ranks
20th among all districts in Rajasthan. The data collection took place between June
2014 and July 2014 across Jagat and its three hamlets of Girwa tehsil of Udaipur
district. . The study was conducted in partnership with a mid size reputed NGO,
JJVS.

Gunis - Barefoot Doctors of Udaipur
District:
Guni10 is a word in hindi language which means ‘a
person of virtue’. A Guni is a traditional health
practitioner who learns the art and science of
traditional health practice and treatment from
existing gunis through undocumented informal
oral forms of learning.
Global Presence and Recognition:
Traditional health practioners are present all over
the world including North America, parts of Europe and Africa. There is tilt towards
traditional systems of medicines because of affordability, accessibility and perceived
safety (Management Sciences for Health policy document, 2012)11. Traditional
medicines are being used by WOFAK in Kenya to manage incidents of illness in case
of AIDS/HIV positive patients. Similarly Nelson.R.Mandela school of medicine at
university of KNZ at Durban, South Africa has developed a biomedical and
traditional healing collaboration against HIV/AIDS.
In India, Department of AYUSH, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare,
GoI vide its policy statement of 2002 provides recognition to the
existence of Traditional Local Health Practitioners. Government of
Manipur has formally recognised and acknowledged the role of
traditional health practioners/faith healers12 (Govt. of Manipur notice,
July 2011)

A Guni

In India, Gunis are categorised as traditional health practitioners and they are mainly
found in Udaipur district of Rajasthan state. Gunis primarily treat their patients by use
of herbs and plant based medicines. Gunis treat chronic diseases like
asthma,diabetes,arthritis, hypertension,kidney stones,skin diseases,jaundice,snake
bites, dislocated bones, muscle spasms etc
Traditional health practice is gaining immense currency under AYUSH system of
healthcare in India and being streamlined under NRHM. The traditional knowledge
of folk healers is duly acknowledged by Government of India’s National Policy on
Indian Systems of Medicines and Homeopathy13 .

About Jagran Jan Vikas Samiti
Jagran Jan Vikas Samiti(JJVS) means an association
dedicated to public awareness and self-development
through cooperative efforts. JJVS is a non-governmental
organization registered as trust that focuses on socio-economic
improvements for rural and tribal communities in Rajasthan,
India. Since established in 1985 by Ganesh Purohit, Dhanwar
Dhabai, and Ram Kishore, JJVS has been working with these marginalized
communities by focusing on their traditional System of Medicine and Community
Development. Jagran is run by a 18 member full time and volunteer team. Jagran’s
headquartered in at Udaipur and works in the southern part of the district.
Jagran’s Mission
JJVs is committed to improving the lives of less fortunate people by encouraging
and assisting them in creating sustainable livelihoods. JJVS believes in full
participation of people in all activities to address local challenges
Jagran’s Vision
JJVS’s vision is to create an egalitarian society in which basic needs are fulfilled,
economic inequalities are minimized, and democratic decision-making provide for
the common good.
Jagran’s Approach
JJVS believes the best way to improve the socio-economic status of communities is
to encourage people to determine their own development. Jagran believes in
acknowledging the potential of individuals and communities to alleviate poverty
themselves.
Jagran’s Objectives
• Support appropriate rural development and agricultural-based industries
• Create local solutions to local problems
Page 13 IIMU-‐Duke Summer School For Future Leaders in Development Programme, 2014 IIMU-‐Duke Summer School For Future Leaders in Development Programme, 2014
• Increase awareness about health and education
• Improve the effectiveness of government programs
• Conserve the environment and natural resources
• Organize the community for coordinated campaigns
Field Research
The research began as an exploratory study with a preliminary round of unstructured
interviews and FGDs conducted with various social groups at Jagat village and
adjoining hamlets regarding general socio-economic challenges faced by residents
on daily basis. This exercise was conducted to understand challenges faced by
residents and finally prioritisation of these challenges. The methodology adopted
was stratified convenient sampling as the field visits were supported by Jagran staff.
Based on the inputs received from local residents, theme of the research narrowed
onto public health related issues and accessibility to the available health services. In
this contact the research question was framed, is mentioned below:
1. To ascertain Degrees of access to formal health services system among
different communities in Jagat cluster14 and the alternatives.
Research Methodology:
The research was conducted using a stratified random sampling and both
Quantitative and Qualitative techniques were used to capture end respondents’
data. Tools like surveys, FGDs, Key Informant and semi structured interviews were
employed to capture data.
14 Jagat cluster includes Jagat Village and three other hamlets viz Karakali, Bhatia Talao and Road-‐da.
Page 14 IIMU-‐Duke Summer School For Future Leaders in Development Programme, 2014 IIMU-‐Duke Summer School For Future Leaders in Development Programme, 2014
Sample Size:
Population of Jagat-cluster is 1013 HH. Data was captured from 65 HH by personal
interviews including six FGDs, 4 semi structure Key informant interviews conducted
in Jagat village and three adjoining hamlets in a longitudinal fashion.
Data from the field:
Figure 1
Total number of respondents contacted during the field visits between the months
of June & July were 73. Jagat village & adjoining hamlets were selected randomly.
Interestingly the sample was dominated by women(39 out of 73 were women) as
Page 15 IIMU-‐Duke Summer School For Future Leaders in Development Programme, 2014 IIMU-‐Duke Summer School For Future Leaders in Development Programme, 2014
most of the times men were out of the house for manual labour or other household
works, thus researcher was able to contact those available and willing to participate.
Udaipur district itself is a ST dominated district with around 62% of tribal population.
The social stratification of the sample is in-line with the social construct of
communities with 62% of respondents being ST, followed by SC (18%), Gen (14%)
and OBC (8%). The team was able to get the highest number of respondents from a
ST dominated hamlet called Bhatia Talao. During the FGDs and personal interviews
maximum number of respondents in Jagat-cluster told that the first choice of health
service provider for them is Government PHC followed by Bengali doctor. Those
from OBC and general category could afford private healthcare at Udaipur.
Interestingly the data shatters some dominant myths about choice of villagers in
prioritising health service providers. Only 8.2% told they opted to use services of
traditional health providers –locally called Gunis and just 5.4% confirmed they avail
services of faith healers called Bhopas. However, less percentage cited here is in no
way a reflection on the efficiency of Gunis or Bhopas. One of the key reasons cited
by respondents in case of Gunis was that recovery time in case of THP system was
usually higher than the recovery time in case of Allopathic system of treatment.
Trade-off between quick relief and THP pushes people towards
dilapidated public health infrastructure (PHC/CHCs etc) and local
private service providers colloquially called Bengali doctor.

Figure 2
Another set of questions were targeted to ascertain status of healthcare finance,
exploring mobile phone as a channel to deliver health services and capture demand
side barriers to the access to health. Interestingly 14% of HHs owned health
insurance coverage (RSBY Health Insurance). This is very encouraging finding
because in Rajasthan just 3% of HHs (Reddy & et.al,Pg 25, PHFI 2011) have any form
of health insurance . However, the insurance percentage is again in-line with the
national health insurance coverage in India with is slightly less than 15% (DNA
News15), about 62% owned a checking account in bank – thanks to MGNREGA wage
payments which are routed through a bank account . Only 42% respondents
reported they own a mobile phone. However mobile phone ownership was
negligible among women folk and handsets were mainly owned by men. In terms of

Page 17 IIMU-‐Duke Summer School For Future Leaders in Development Programme, 2014 IIMU-‐Duke Summer School For Future Leaders in Development Programme, 2014
barriers to access public health services, the biggest barrier reported by villagers was
non availability of health care personnel at public health care service stations like
PHC &CHC. A health care research study in Udaipur (Bannerjee, Deaton &Duflo,
2012) corroborates finding that absenteeism is as high as 36-45% on weekly basis in
rural health service points (PHCs/CHCs etc) and has effect on public health
adversely. Cost of healthcare was interestingly not among top three barriers because
Indians shell out around 70% of their healthcare expenses from out-of-pocket16.
Interestingly qualitative data from discussions with PHC/CHC staff and multiple
FGDs revealed that access to health services is function of economic and social
status of villagers. Upper caste General category people almost always consumed
private health services in nearby Udaipur, whereas OBCs and SCs prioritised PHC
and CHC and eventually also accessed health services in Udaipur. It was only
economically disadvantaged and socially ostracised and weak Bhil17 community at
hamlet Bhatia Talab who had really hard time in accessing public health care
facilities at nearby Jagat Village (around 3Km). They could hardly afford to consume
private health services at Udaipur and were totally dependent on public health
services and some Gunis and Bhopas.

Approaches to Address Health Question
Barriers to access discussed above are key
impediments in ensuring a healthy village
society. It was also evident from the FGD
data that not everyone is village & hamlets
were equally excluded. Those with
purchasing power (mostly upper caste and
OBCs) were relatively better-off and thus
had lower degrees of exclusion to health
services than socially and economically disadvantaged community of Bhils of hamlet
Bhatia-Talao.
There are three potential solutions which
were explored;
(a) Mobile THP Clinic at Bhatia Talao for
chronic ailments,
(b) Mobile Phone based health solutions
like mHealth,
(c) A health Information campaign
across hamlets to increase
information about public health services
Mobile THP clinic is Social Business approach to address health issues at Bhatia
Talao. The model is hub and spoke based which involves running a 12 months pilot
project by holding non-stationery mobile health facilities once per week at the
hamlet (spike) and promoting follow-up visits by patients at permanent THP
clinic(hub) of Jagran located at village Vali which is 3.5 km from Bhatia Talao. Four
specialist traditional health practitioners (Gunis) along with an Ayurvedic medical
practioner would provide their services for eight hours at mobile THP on a
Proposed Location for Mobile THP Clinic at Bhatia Talao
Bhatia Talao Hamlet

designated day at a centrally located place. Mobile THPs are proposed to address
hurdles like staff absenteeism, distance, higher cost etc. Traditional Health
Practitioners are local people who live around same village and available 24x7 , they
don’t just provide medical consultation but herbal medicines to patients . The
supply chain is herbal and RAW material available locally thus, cost implications per
episode are far lower.
Based on the respondents views during FGDs and data collected during survey ( Fig
2), lack of health information was cited as one on the top 5 hurdles in accessing to
healthcare. Survey also revealed that around 42% villagers own mobile handset.
Thus, mHealth and health information campaign are other projects to address
health-care and information asymmetry.
Based on the soft infrastructure (mobile connectivity) in the hamlet, need of target
customers and institutional capabilities and SLRP of JJVS in the field of THPs plus
their willingness to explore the approach as a pilot, Mobile THP clinic approach is
suggested for implementation.
Economics of Mobile THP Clinics:
General Assumptions:
A set of general assumptions are made for working out detailed economics of
Mobile THP clinic. Assumptions on average no of patient foot-fall and cost of service
are made on the basis of FGD discussions. Villagers spend at-least INR 300/episode
of illness at present.
1. Average foot-fall at Mobile THP is 30 patients/clinic/week, which means 120
patients across 5 practioners(Gunis)/month,
2. Due to well designed publicity and targeted messaging there is increase of
5% footfall every month,
3. Each customer (patient) pays INR 40 as fee at mobile THP clinic.
Page 20 IIMU-‐Duke Summer School For Future Leaders in Development Programme, 2014 IIMU-‐Duke Summer School For Future Leaders in Development Programme, 2014
4. Of all patients visiting at mobile THP clinic , 50% come for a follow-up visit at
permanent THP Clinic of JJVS at Vali village,
5. Pull based foot-fall at permanent THP clinic increases at the rate of 5% per
month,
6. The project is launched as a pilot for 12 months and upon encouraging results
continues for five years in the same format.
7. It is assumed that THP health services demand will grow at modest
12%/Year18 as against 15% country’s health sector growth rate.
18 India’s health sector grows at the rate of 15% per annum http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2013-‐12-‐02/news/44657410_1_healthcare-‐sector-‐healthcare-‐delivery-‐fortis

Recommendation:
The study provided an opportunity to researcher to get in touch with both
stakeholders viz villagers, public and private health services providers, Government
officials, staff and management of JJVS –the partner NGO. In addition, a
comprehensive analysis of existing literature was done. Based on the feedback
during interactions with multistakeholders, discussions with villagers, review of
literature, primary data analysis, a few things became very clear:
(a) Any solution/approach has to be local so that the barriers of access primarily
distance and absenteeism are overcome,
(b) It has to be cost effective for consumers(villagers) ,
(c) Since partner NGO is an important stakeholder , any solution proposed
should be in synchronisation with partner NGO’s capabilities and strategic
Long Term Planning,
(d) Finally the project should generate adequate financial returns to be
