ABSTRACT
Health care delivery and health policy play the most important roles in reducing human suffering. Countless lives are destroyed by disease, accidents and deaths, as well as misdiagnosis and maltreatment in health care delivery and lack of access to proper health care delivery. To save lives in health care delivery and health policy, one has to engage in a constant uphill battle against lack of resources, mismanagement and misgovernance, as well as some evil, destructive and ignorant market forces. The government in Kazakhstan has selectively chosen health care as a main focus of its welfare state system. Universal education, workfare and food programs, apart from universally implemented social services programs contribute heavily to the overall, ideal-typical picture of the welfare state system in India. The universal right to free medicine has been introduced to India and leads the way in terms of successful social development initiatives and policies in the developing world – also from a global perspective.
