Shajahan, Althaf To Rx or NotSummary: These IPs provide low-cost essential care to community people, but given that many IPs have no formal training, the quality of care and the resulting health outcomes are always a concern. This case revitalizes the policy debate about mainstreaming informal providers (IPs) in India's rural healthcare delivery system. However, with increasing evidence of the supportive role of IPs, especially in most backward states in India, the policy debate is shifting towards a co-option strategy for IPs.
