Many factors like topography, poor industrial growth and lack of high value business ventures have played key roles. This is also reflected in the health sector. There were no medical colleges and only few hospitals with poor healthcare services existed in the District. Though the Government made commendable efforts, public – private partnership was the need of the hour to fulfil the aspirations of the local people. The population of Wayanad includes a large number of Tribals (36%), majority of whom fall below the poverty line (BPL). On a day-to- day basis, they suffer from lack of facilities for trauma care, specialist care and super specialty services. The locals had to travel at least 100 kilometers to avail even the basic treatment.
