There is a level of priority for MNH through technical advancements driven by international partners, including development of policies, strategies, and guidelines. However, there is inadequate government ownership of the MNH agenda through poor domestic financial investment and capacity for governance (including partner coordination) in the health sector.

Interviews were conducted with forty-two purposively selected medical and non-medical (patients, journalists, lawyers, police) participants over eighteen months.

The rise in violent attacks is creating a deep sense of being unfairly targeted and unjustly treated. To reconcile themselves with these developments, doctors in India are having to, often with anguish, reimagine their assumptive worlds and reshape their identities. Doctors are, however, unwittingly adopting a siege mentality.

Many participants reported poor environmental conditions and extensive impacts on well-being. Patients felt stress, fear of infection, and dissatisfaction with inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene services. To cope with poor conditions, patients and family caregivers cleaned areas, fetched water, or spent money on supplies, leading to economic impacts. Facility conditions influenced perceptions of dignified and respectful care. Inadequate or overcrowded conditions led to negative encounters with other patients and healthcare workers. Patients felt more satisfied and respected when they observed healthcare workers performing hand hygiene or maintaining the facility.
