Health Care System in India has laid too much emphasis on hospitals and hospitalization In the process two important constituents of the system Home Health Service and Palliative Care have remained Peripheral Almost neglected There have been Mobile Medical Units Community Camps and door to door immunization campaigns The system is however beginning to rapidly support privatization of health care initiatives under the guise of bringing about improvements in the inefficient and cost insensitive public health care system Public Private Partnership is being introduced largely with a view to supporting the Private Health Care Industry with the support of the Private Health Care Insurance Industry The state is rapidly abdicating it welfare responsibilities and is pushing the citizens to the vagaries of the market forcesIf that is going to be the trend in the coming years citizens have a right to demand efficient cost effective and regulated functioning of the entire health care industry Two innovations that will influence the health care system efficient that is and accountable to the citizens are the Home Health Service and the obligation to introduce Palliative Care Palliative care both for the elderly and others suffering from end of life It ailments needs to be viewed as part of the right to life with dignity that includes the right to die in dignityThe present collection of papers provides a perspective on Palliative Care for the Elderly insofar it includes the struggle for its inclusion in the Health Care System some experimental projects and the efforts to make it a part of the home and the neighbourhood.

Shelter Security for the Elderly is an edited volume of papers from Israel Romania and India Scholars from the respective countries have analyzed the emergence of old age homes and the attempts at introducing standards of care for the residents It is obvious that India is far behind the two countries in terms of standards of care despite some very meaningful attempts by the Private Real Estate industry specializing in individual and group housing products for the elderlyThe papers also indicate the need to go beyond old age homes since it would not be possible for any country to continue investing endless resources in setting up such institutions The ultimate solution appears to be seen in the development and nurturing of caring neighbourhood and communities The re-emergence of family home as a caring place for the elderly continues to remain a matter of nostalgia and romance rooted in old times.
