Assertion [A] : The health care system consists of a mix of both Public and Private sector in provision of various health care facilities related to preventive, curative and promotive aspects of health services.

Reason [R] : The key objective of the Government is to provide accessible, affordable, equitable and quality health care, especially to the marginalized and vulnerable sections of the population.

Prepp Team · Accepted Answer

Health care in India (and in Tamil Nadu) is delivered through a mixed system: government hospitals, primary health centres and sub-centres work alongside private clinics, nursing homes and corporate hospitals.

Both sectors provide preventive services (immunisation, sanitation awareness), curative services (treatment of illness) and promotive services (health education, nutrition), so the Assertion is a correct description.

The stated objective of government health policy, including the National Health Policy, is to make health care accessible, affordable, equitable and of good quality, with special attention to marginalised and vulnerable groups, so the Reason is also correct.

Hence, Both [A] and [R] are true.
