The quest for better livelihood opportunities has led to large-scale migration and the mushrooming of slums in several Indian cities. Unfortunately, a significant section of the urban poor do not have access to many of the benefits of urban development. It emerges from the re-analysis of Madhya Pradesh NFHS 2 data that neonatal mortality is significantly high among the urban poor (Urban low Standard of Living Index population at 69.7 as compared to the urban aggregate of 44. Likewise, infant mortality rate among the urban poor is 99.4 as against the urban aggregate of 61.9. Much of the challenge of delivering services to the marginalized groups lies in identifying them and effectively approaching them, so that limited resources are utilized well and programs address real needs. There is a presence of the public sector as well as NGOs in urban areas. The health infrastructure in public sector for the urban poor is inadequate. In Madhya Pradesh, the public sector share of total health expenditure is about 22%. This is about the lowest in the world. The lowest figure for any developed nation is for the U.S. But even that is 44% - double the Madhva Pradesh figure. The growing requirement for health services for the urban poor, owing to rapid urban population growth, necessitates thinking about the collaborative approach of the public and Non-profit sector for health services in urban areas. There are examples of NGOs partnering with the Public sector for expanding reach of health services to the urban poor. In Guwahati, with support from the European Commission, Primary Health Care for Urban Poor are delivered through Partnership with Charitable Hospital (Marwari Maternity Hospital). In the World bank supported India Population Project VIII (IPP VIII), access and utilization of primary health care through NGO run facilities are being implemented successfully in Bangalore, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi. Experiences in Ahmedabad, Indore and other cities have demonstrated that NGO's make valuable contributions to Urban RCH programs by i) identification and mapping vulnerable slums , improving access to sanitation and other basic services through coordinating with Municipal Bodies, c) Enhance demand and utilization of services, building capacity of slum communities, health functionaries, d) independently manage primary level RCH facilities, e) Innovate and develop models for replication and scale up as noted in Pune, Mumbai, Indore, f) NGOs can emerge as vial resource centres to develop the field of urban health as a professional area. Carried out with devotion, purpose and commitment, such partnerships will be able to actualize the aphorism: "The whole is greater than the sum of its parts"

The book analyses the major problems and issues facing health care decision-makers and practitioners in the planning and implementation of primary health programmes as they pertain to the urban poor. The major concern is the degree to which commonalities transcend the variations in the health programmes of four cities in the region: Bangkok, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Manila. The systematic analysis of current health policies and programmes is based on three approaches: the review of present documents and literature addressed to the health problems of the poor; a survey of health planners and providers, and the community; and case studies on community participation in health care in impoverished urban communities.

With the growth of cities and towns throughout the developing world have come significant health problems. The urban poor are particularly affected, faced with the worst of both worlds: urban problems such as pollution and stress, combined with infectious diseases common in both rural and urban areas. The Healthy City Project shows how to put health high on the agenda of urban officials, integrating it into all other planning and development decisions. Healthy City Projects in Developing Countries presents a comprehensive account of this very important and increasingly influential initiative. Drawing on experience in a range of cities it shows how to design, implement and evaluate the integration of public health into urban management. The results will be very significant to all those making and implementing urban policies, as well as those working in and on public health, urban development and environmental issues.
