Why health and health issues not a prime news

How good it would be instead of politics, it is health and health related issues which figures on the front page or dominate the prime news on electronic news.A large mass of Indians remains without even basic health care.Yet it never becomes prime news.Repeatedly surveys show that healthcare needs urgent overhaul but this receives very scant attention.
In advance countries,health is greatest of concern of citizens and governments.But in our country it seems the least of the concerns.It is not that we lack resources,but will or intent to do seems to be lacking.Mind you, health is not just the governments responsibility but civil society too has an important role to play in improving healthcare in the country.
Politicians in any case receive too much of attention,the best way out of this is that we focus on developmental issues.
