  1. Recruit and Post Community Health Providers (CHP) in Rural Areas: The CHP could be an opportunity for rural India, for changing health services from doctor-centric to a team-based approach, where a mix of healthcare providers is decided, as per the service required at that level.
  2. Establish Toll-free Call Number for both Curative and Diagnostic Services: A dedicated toll-free call centre number of health needs of population can be established. Population should be made aware about this number and the call can be directed to qualified doctors, for appropriate advice.
  3. Make Rural Health Facilities Ready for Disasters and Emergency Situation: There is an urgent need to make health facilities disaster and natural calamity resilient. This is an action which needs to be taken and coordinated at national level as well as by all states.
  4. Start many small non-health initiatives for bigger health impacts: For example, better access to electricity at rural health facilities and improved access to motorable roads in rural habitation that would contribute to improved access and utilisation of health services in India.
  5. ‘Grand Convergence’ of Public Service Delivery in Rural India: To explore the idea of government service delivery hubs at Panchayat level, where all basic services can be located in single compound, identified and owned by Panchayats.
