Empowering people for health

Saroj S. Jha

Sagar Sangam Flat 24, Bldg 27 Krishna Chandra Path, Bandra Reclamation, Bandra West, Mumbai-400 050, India

Empowerment has been a fashionable word in current development jargon. It is politically correct to use, it is aesthetic to the ear and ethically untainted. It is "nice" to talk about. It has entered into texts of official documents, both national and international that deal with developmental issues. Yet when it comes to action — to empower, then for most health providers this becomes abstract, and, for most beneficiaries a mirage.
