2. The members cf the Indian Society of Health /administrators
were welcomed by Dr.CM Francis, and he hoped that there
will be a fruitful discussion during the meeting.
3.
Dr.Ashok Sahni then gave a comprehensive report on the
progress of the Society and its membership.
This was
followed by a general discussion in which all the members
participated actively.
In brief, Dr.Sahni indicated that
the idea about the formation of such a Society grew as a
result of series of seminars conducted by him at Bangalore
and all over India for health professionals as well as the
three-day Conference which was organised in November 1977
on ’Social Aspects of Medical Education in India.’
It was
felt that there was no professional organisation to meet
with the professional developmental needs of various cate
gories of health professionals.
Keeping in view the com
plexity of health problems to meet with the needs of a
large country like India, a multi-disciplinary approach to
health planning and health administration was required.
Also, it was felt that there was lack of literature and
organizational resources for professional development of
health administrators.
Keeping in view this objective, series of discussions' were
held with noted professionals in Bangalore.
As a result,
the draft Memorandum of Association and Rules and Regula
tions was prepared.
In consultation with noted health
professionals who attended the meeting held at St.John’s
Medical College, a list of professionals interested in
health care delivery system was prepared.
The draft Memo
randum of Association was sent to all these professionals
for their comments.
The draft document together with the
founder membership application was sent to all those health
professionals who had participated in the training progra
mmes, conducted by Dr.Ashok Sahni.
Also, noted health
professionals, as per the list prepared in consultation
with others, were invited for Founder Membership.
A total
of approximately 300 professionaW^ere invited for Founder
Membership.
As of date (November 3, 1979), 124 were paid
members.
Applications of six other professionals were
pending for receipt of cheques.
It was considered that
in such a short time, the response for membership was
extremely favourable.
Dr.Sahni felt that keeping in viewthe favourable response and enthusiasm shown by profess
ionals toward the Society, the Society will be able to
play a very important role toward professional develop
ment of health administrators.

NEED FOR THE CONFERENCE
All of us know that keeping physically fit and
maintenance of better health is one of the most
fundamental needs of each human being. The
strength and prosperity of any nation depends a
great deal on the health of its people. It is there
fore the duty of the State to provide such services
as will take care of the health of all sections of the
community.
Several Committees have been appointed on
national basis to suggest measures toward improve
ment of health services in the country in the last(
33 years since Independence. Inspite of all such
attempts our present health care delivery system is
very ineffective. Approximately 80 to 90 per cent
of the population in India receive absolutely
inadequate basic health services. The problem is
likely to be more acute with increasing population.
We will be increasing our population from the
present 650 million to 930 million by the year 2000.
No doubt we have made splendid progress in
production of health professional
manpower,
establishment of specialized hospitals in urban areas
and by establishment of primary health care centres
to serve as first line hospitals. Inspite of this
tangible progress, our health care services are
extremely inadequate and ineffective.
Acceding to the Alma Ata Declaration adopted on
September 12,1978 by the International Conference
on Primary Health Care ,it was clearly stated that
primary health care is the key to attaining the
target of health for all by the year 2000 as part
of overall development and in the spirit of social
justice. The Declaration called on all Governments
to formulate national policies, strategies and plans
of action to launch and sustain primary health care
as part of a comprehensive national health system
and in coordination with other sectors. The Decla
ration also called for urgent and effective inter
national - in addition to national - action to develop
and implement primary health care throughout the
world and particularly in developing countries.
India was a signatory to that Declaration. By
being a signatory, India has commited herself to
attaning the goals of primary health care for all by
year 2000. During 1979 a national Conference was
convened at Delhi under the auspices of Ministry
of Health and Family Welfare to examine the major
issues regarding the ineffective and inadequate
health care delivery services in India. Early 1980,
special task groups met at Delhi to examine the
Inational health policies, perspectives and issues,
with regard to achieving the primary health care
goals by 2000 AD.
The crucial issues, not
discussed so far, will be the focus of discussion at
the proposed Conference.
CONTENT OF THE CONFERENCE
The Conference will focus on three major issues.
a)
Resources required for achieving the goal
of primary health care for all : mobilization
of resources and deployment of resources;
b)
Community participation : role of different
agencies in multi-sectoral approach;
and
c)
Strategy for action : proposed strategy for
the Central and State Governments for
achieving the goal of primary health care
for all.

BACKGROUND
In November 1977, a group of thirty health Profest
als met for three days at Bangalore in a conference on
Social Aspects of Medical Education in India. Among other
issues, concern about the increasing gap between the actual
and desirable state of health services in India was expressed.
To bridge this gap, the group emphasised the need for
professional development of health administrators towards
effective management of resources. The group also felt the
absence of a common platform which could bring together
all professionals interested in health care. Subsequently,
several meetings of professional groups were held at the
national as well as regional basis to elicit comments on the
need to form an all-lndia society of health administrators.
The zealous reactions and enthusiasm expressed both in
such meetings as well as through correspondence, resulted
in the drafting of the Memorandum of Association and
registration, in September 1979, of the Indian Society of
Health Administrators (ISHA).
ISHA, is an all-lndia organization with headquarters in
Bangalore and registered under the Karnataka Societies
Registration Act, (1960). Plans are ahead to have interna
tional affiliations and activities.

Dear
Thants for your letter dated December 17, 1^80
and a cony oF the Minutes or the Second General Body
Meeting.
I was very glad to read about all the activities of
TSHA.
1) Regarding the theam -for the Annual Conference, 1 think, the
role of’Thairoaceutical industry in health Care”, is a very
important ore and has seldom been discussed in any forum and
I think TSHA should take this up as soon as possible.
2) Since we are drawing up the coordj natW- teaching programme
for 1981 for the Dept of Community Medicine, Ross Institute
Unit and Directorate of Rural Health Servj. es & Training
Programmes in St John’s, could you let us know when the
next Occupational and Mental Health in Industry Course is
being organized by you.
With best wishes to you and ycur family.

In November 1977, a group of thirty health professionals
met for three days at Bangalore in a Conference on Social Aspects
of Medical Education in India.
Among other issues, concern about
the increasing gap betwe-cn the actual‘and desirable state of health
services in India was expressed. To bridge this gap, the group
emphasised the need for professional development of health
administrators toward effective management of resources# The group
also felt the absence of a common platform which could bring
together all professionals interested in health care* Subsequently,
several meetings of professional groups were held at the national
as well as regional basis to elicit comments on the need to form
an all-India society of health administrators.
The zealous
reactions and enthusiasm expressed both in such meetings as well
as through correspondence, resulted in the drafting of the
Memorandum of Association and registration, in September 1979
of the Indian Society of Health Administrators (ISHA).
2.
The main aims and objectives of the Society are:
a)
To,organize into an association all persons engaged
in or interested in or connected with health admini
stration.
b) to elevate and establish a standard of competence
for health care administrators.
c) To develop and promote standard of education and
training for health care administrators.
d) To develop and promote short term and long term
training programmes for individuals isterested in
health care administration.
e) To serve as a forum for exchange of information on
management in general and health care and hospital
administration in particular.
f) To promote and safeguard the status and the
professional interests of health care administrators.
g) To organize Conferences, seminars, meetings and
discussions for the promotion and furtherance of
the aims and objectives of the Society.
h) To oo-ordinate with other professional agencies,
associations and other organizations so as to
share experiences, information, publications and
' resources toward professional dcuelooment of
health administrators*
•r
i) To confer fellowships in health care administration
on those who have done or arc doing noteworthy ser
vices in the field of health care administration.

Meanwhile,
the Income Tax authorities would give us the

the undertaking given, the item was taken up for approval

Role of Hospitals in

October 15—18, 1981 at Bangalore
Revolution, the hospitals transformed into places
for the promotion of health, prevention of diseases,
treatment of suffering and teaching and researcjj^
in the health sciences. In the last 34 years, since
Independence, we have made great progress in terms
of number of hospitals, nature of hospitals, size
of hospitals and the various levels at which the
hospitals are located -Centre, State, District, Taluk
and Periphery. Today we have nearly 15,000 hos
pitals of specialized nature, teaching, district, taluk
and periphery levels------large, medium and small.
Inspite of the tremendous growth in the number of
institutions, the health services at both metro
politan and rural areas are extremely inadequate
and inefficient. The planners, professionals and
administrators are faced with the question as to
what should be the role of hospitals.
Should
hospitals provide curative, preventive, promotive
or rehabilitative services. What should be the
organizational set ups, financing systems, controls^^
linkages with the community, linkages with th^^
professional and governmental institutions, industry
and other public and private bodies. Hospitals as
organizations, like other organizations, are con
stantly in a process of change, particularly keeping
in view the traditions, economic opportunities,
technology, information services, communication,
financing patterns and wishes of the community.
Keeping in view the above major issues, this
Conference has been organized to examine the roles
of hospitals of various types—specialized, teaching,
district, taluk and primary health centres, keeping
in view the health needs of the people in India.

Need for the Conference :
In the last 36 years since Indepencence, there has
been significant improvement in the health status of the
country. In the Sixth Five Year plan, the Government
of India has exprsssed the concern for not only to im
prove the health services further but to secure primary
herlth care for all by the year 2000 AD.
This improvement in health status has been due to
the progress in organizational machinery, health maj^
power and materials. The country has about 7,600 All^^
pathic hospitals, 790 Indian systems of medicine hospi
tals, nearly 16,000 dispensaries, 51,000 sub-centres, 5,532
primary health centres including 340 upgraded primary
health centres, 1T0 Allopathic system of medical colleges
and approximately 200 Ayurvedic, unani, homeopathic and
sidha systems of medical colleges. We have approxi
mately 1,80,000 doctors trained in the Allopathic system
and 2,80,000 doctors trained in the traditional system
of medicine. There are approximately 5,00,000 hospital
beds. Keeping in view the Primary Health Care Goals
for all by 2000 AD, our institutional set-ups and health
manpower will need to be increased and strengthened
two to three times.

Prostitution, Legalisation and
Decriminalisation
Recent Debates
Geetanjali Gangoli
While feminists have seen prostitution as being a violation of the
rights of women and as constituting violence against women, recent
publications from groups such as the Calcutta Sex Workers’ Union
contribute to a critique of patriarchal oppression and argue for a
different way of viewing their lives and work.
RECENT debates on prostitution and anti
prostitution laws in India have changed the
parameters within which the debates around
the issue have been conducted. Feminists
have seen prostitution as being a violation
of the rights of women, as constituting
violence against women [D’Cunha 1991].
More recently, the debate has been enriched
by the voices of prostituted women, some
of which have articulated their views
somewhat differently. One such voice is the
manifesto the Calcutta Sex Workers Union
(1997) which offers a critique of patriarchal
oppression while arguing for a shift in the
prism through which their lives and work
is viewed.
Legal perceptions have viewed the issue
in terms of morality, as the title of the law
governing prostitution reveals. The law is
called. Immoral Traffic in Women and Girls
(Prevention) Act, 1986 (henceforth PITA).
Under PITA, prostitution is not an illegal
activity, while brothel keeping and soliciting
in public places are criminalised. In reality,
it makes the practice of prostitution di fficult,
though not impossible [Solanki and Gangoli
1996]. A bill proposed by the Maharashtra
state government in 1994, while using
feminist language, stigmatises prostitutes by
proposing that all prostitutes be registered
under a board, enabling compulsory medical
testing and branding those who test HIV
positive. (Maharashtra Protection of
Commercial Sex Workers Act, 1994.) Anti
prostitution laws therefore, seek to regulate
and control prostitution and prostitutes. The
purpose of regulation is not to improve the
lives or working conditions of prostitutes.
Nor is there any concern for the health of
prostitutes, except in the one area where it
would, in the perception oflaw-makers, affect
the health of the ‘public’, i e, sexual health.
Anti prostitution laws raise another area
of concern. The definition of prostitution
being nebulous, they invite an interrogation
of every female body. Women are judged
according to their behaviour, dress and other
variables. Once defined as prostitutes, the
woman’s body is seen as accessible to all.
Prostitutes all over the world have recognised
504
this aspect of the law. As a collective of
prostitutes in France wrote in 1980: “And
make no mistake: prostitution laws are not
only about prostitutes. They keep all women
under control. At any time, any woman can
be branded as a whore and treated like one.
Each woman has to watch in her own life
whether what she is doing is ‘good’ or ‘bad’,
to censor her movements, behaviour and
appearance” [Jaget 1980].
These attitudes have been addressed and
challenged in the Calcutta Sex Workers’
manifesto.
Calcutta Sex Workers’ Manifesto
The Calcutta Sex Workers’ manifesto is
significant in that it articulates the perspective
of women within the profession. While this
may not be the only perspective - for, sex
workers, like other occupational group are
not homogeneous - it provides an insight
of the lives of a hitherto silent group. The
Calcutta Sex Workers’ Union, grew out of
the Durbar Mahila Samanwaya Committee,
initially formed by women prostitutes of
Sonagachi, a ‘red light’ area in Calcutta, it
now extends to other parts of Calcutta, and
includes male prostitutes. The committee
was formed as a part of a HIV/STD control
project in the area, but now takes up larger
issues of sexuality and social ideology.
The manifesto makes a plea for seeing sex
workers as “complete persons with a range
ofemotional and material needs, living within
a concrete and specific social, political and
ideological context” and not only in terms
of sexual behaviour. The members of the
union see themselves as practising an
occupation, meeting a social demand. They
point out that they are normally presented
as a “homogenised category, usually of
women who pose threats to public health,
sexual morality, social stability and civic
order”. Developmental and political agenda
seeks to rehabilitate sex workers and the
police harass them. The union also questions
the well intentioned efforts of those who
“cannot think beyond rehabilitating us or
abolishing prostitution”. They hold that
rehabilitation is neither feasible, nor desirable
for two reasons: the general level of the
unemployment in the economy and the fact
that move prostitutes are stigmatising will
make their entry into other areas of work
difficult. It points out that sex workers, like
workers in other professions have the right
to demand better working conditions while
remaining within the profession. There is a
recognition of the sexual and social horality
implicit in the stigmatising of sex work. The
manifesto looks at the history of the control
over women’s reproduction through the
institutionalisation of marriage and the
family: “Sex is seen primarily and almost
exclusively as an instrument for reproduction,
negating all aspects of pleasure arid desire
intrinsic to it. Privileging heterosexuality,
homosexuality is not only denied legitimacy,
it is considered to be undesirable, unnatural
and deviant. Thus, sex and sexuality are
given no social sanction beyond their
reproductive function”.
The manifesto further questions the social
mores that privilege men and male desires.
Multiple sexual relationships and pdlygamy
remain the domain of men, while women are
expected to be faithful to one man. sfex work
in its present form feeds into this morality,
where men are allowed an ‘outlet’ for their
desires with sex workers. Women have no
such “space forexpression of(their) sexuality
and desires”.
The union points out that illegal prostitution
creates divisions between women, that is the
Madonna and the whore. A chaste woman,
as a wife within the confines of domesticity,
is granted no sexual agency. The whore is
seen as a “sex machine, unfettered by any
domestic inclination or ‘feminine’ emotion”.
Both the wife and the whore are thus projected
as fighting over the “attention and lust of
men”.
Interestingly having made this critique the
union finds it necessary to state that is not
inherently against motherhood, men or the
family. With a defensiveness reminiscent of
other feminist discourse, the manifesto replies
to charges that are expected, even before
they are articulated. “Do we not value
motherhood? Just because one profession or
one social situation does not allow for allow
for legitimate parenthood, are we trying to
claim motherhood and bearing children as
unworthy...for women? This is not the
case...Our movement is definitely Against
patriarchy, but not against individual men...”
This defensiveness is perhaps inevitable,
given the context within which the manifesto
is written. It shows the power of patriarchal
control, which forces women to over-explain
their positions, even while asserting
themselves.
The assertion takes on another aspect the question of choice. The manifesto holds
that often the rhetoric of choice does not take
up questions of the contexts within which
