Like their are two sides of every coin her also it is like this. Commercialization is good in one way as it has all good facilities there doctors are good and responsible everything is managed well and patient is looked after very well which is very important on other way private hospitals are too costly for poor people and government hospitals are not very well managed as compared to private hospitals. The solution for this is that government hospitals has to be made better with all the facilities and good doctors and all the things that they lack as compared to private hospitals should be made available only then every person poor or rich will trust government hospitals for their treatment.

Commercialization of healthcare is definitely good for our country. Being a developing country, the advanced level of treatment methods need to be adopted which will require higher investment. Thus there will be vision to gain profit too. This will provide great opportunities to the doctors who start their own personal clinics and take hefty amounts. This will also stop brain drain. However I agree that a major section will not be able to utilize these facilities at the private hospitals but there are always government hospitals in the country which should be improved in terms of services like infrastructure, hygiene, quality of treatment and other logistics. Why only hospitals, if you take examples of multiple pharma companies who are producing similar drugs have good competition and this increases the sectoral growth in terms of medicine. If we take the leading brand in supplements i.e. Amway, it is definitely for an upper class of people who can afford it. So no doctor writes on the prescription about Amway supplements. Thus there are sectors in healthcare where commercialization is definitely going to improve the current scenario of society but it needs to be regulated with proper guidelines developed by government.

Commercialization of health will good for the rich people but it will definitely affect the poorest section in country because after the commercialization of health system computation will also be high for providing the just good facilities in hospitals but those facilities will far far away from the poor peoples. Commercialization of health is bad for our country because it will affect the poorest section of peoples, so government have to providing facilities in civil hospitals despite the commercialization of health care. The Richest section of peoples already having high profile private hospitals like PGI etc but poorest section having only civil hospitals. Commercialization of health will badly affect on poor peoples only but no affect will have taken by richest section.

I am not at all in favor of commercialization work in any perspective ! commercialization words itself shows the inability or impotence of our government !1 Whether its in retail or its on Medical sector, If we have such a huge market why not our government is exploring it, Why they are not maintaining the standard of our present government hospitals who are lacking basic facilities! we can't say that our doctors are less trained or they are not having sufficient experience you can check out the statistics that still in US there are many Indian doctors who have contributed effectively to their society ! Last not but not the least its been seen that commercialization world used many times by the politician not by the economist reason being they want to hide their wrongdoings or impotence through world commercialization.

Commercialization is boon for only rich one, and curse for poor one. As due to this we can say that poor have no right to get ill, otherwise they have to pay for this. Rich people are becoming too richer and poor one are becoming too poorer. In govt hospitals poor people are facing a lot, as no one bother if any machine doesn't work. People are coming from far places and doesn't get treatment. Ultimately rich people in commercialized hospitals are treated like god while in govt hospital poor one are not even treated like a human being.

Hello friend. My point of view is that health care not be commercialization because 1. Poor people not get treatment because private health care charge are high. 2. Some facility provide by govt. Like pulse polio, bcg injection etc. Not get by poor people. 3. Population increases because government provide free facility of vasectomy after that people do not take advantage. So if it will do for paying money than poor people not do vasectomy. 4. If health care are private than it is not a human service but it will be just business.

I respect your opinion but for the general benefit health care system should be commercialize! we must understand that not all poor are sick. In fact, they are healthier when compared to riches. Well, somebody should die to make others live. Privatization has more benefits than what we see as a drawbacks. People will be concerned about the sensation, they will have a sense of responsibility when the cost is involved. In fact, people will care less about themselves when the medication is free.

As we all know that health is wealth. If one has better health then after he can think of better earning. So it is directly related with our sustenance. So in my point of view commercialization of health care system should strictly prohibited. Commercialization means providing services for one's own sake and benefit. And since our's is a developing country, more than 80% population are still earning less than a dollar so in these situation even imagination of commercialization may make ill to any poor. Now a days became very difficult for a common man to knock the door of pvt hospitals for their treatment. Most of the poor person when heard about going to pvt hospitals their resistive power to fight with the diseases drop down to half especially in metro cities. It is true that pvt hospitals are providing better medical facilities but the ? is how many population of our country has access to there. A poor man does need a air condition room in hospital, does not ever have desire to be surrounded with beautiful nurses. He has only one dream how early he get rid of his disease so that he can earn bread and butter for their dependent. India have better reputed medical institutions but this seems very absurd that despite of providing medical education to them govt hospitals have to look for the substandard doctors on contract basis. Govt doctors absent their duty in govt hospitals and always found on working either with bigger pvt hospitals or working in their own money factory i.e. their own clinic. In my view govt should come up with a regulation that whichever student study in the reputed organisation will have to work for at least 10 years for the govt hospitals and esp in the rural areas where the medical facilities are not up to the standards. And in between they can involve with any kind of pvt hospitals and if they find involved then their medical license will be cancelled.

According to me commercialization of health care is acceptable. I know there are many poor people out there so for them we can have quota system for example : for every 20 people a doctor treats, he should treat at least 1 person belonging to the poor strata either for free or some nominal fee.

In my view privatization is not good. As in India more than 42% of the people lie below poverty line which can't afford the bills of private hospitals. Private hospitals provide good facilities but their main motive is to earn money. Even if a person is suffering from common cold or flu they ask them to do n no of test just to make money. If a person have money to pay only he can get a good treatment.

As per the discussion, we have to consider the fact that most of the indian population is below poverty line, they are not having enough income for even food for two time a day, so if the commercialization of the hospitals is done, then it is quite difficult for those people to get medical treatment, but again on the other side, it is fact that facilities in private sectors are more in comparison of the govt. sector. Actually employees(doctors also)which are working in private sectors they are having pressure to do they duty. So that's why private hospitals are performing well. So finally what we can do: We can concentrate that the doctor's in govt. hospitals work with full dedication. we can increase their perks so that they will not think twice while doing their duty,Dedication comes only when person is full oriented in one particular direction. So if doctors are concentrating on making money, they will not be able to concentrate on their duty. That thing must also be in our mind while considering all the facts. Also if the people which are having enough money for their treatment, they are not bothered about the commercialization of the hospitals, they can get good treatment any where. Commercialization affects only the 'AAM ADMI' badly. So there should not be commercialization of health care goods.

Hello friends, I would like to share my views on the topic discussed above. According to a common dictionary commercialize means to Exploit for maximal profit, usually by sacrificing quality. As we get a clear picture of what commercialize is we can make out that the motive behind commercialization is profit and sometimes it could be sacrificing quality. As a matter of fact 'health is the wealth of a country'. But why do we need health for a lump sum of money and of inferior quality? In my view commercialization can prove to be good only when there is a section for the poor and the government keeps a regular check on the products and equipment. If controlled properly commercialization of health will prove to be a boon for people of India. And soon we would able to trace India on the top of the list of healthy countries.

Commercialization of Health Care should be promoted as it results in better services as India has been prone to many diseases which has led to huge number of deaths. Private hospitals provide excellent facilities along with highly qualified and experienced Doctors. Hence a proper treatment is possible at a high success rate. Moreover, a person does not have to run to different health care centers or labs for different tests, all those requirements are fulfilled here. The class of people that are affected by this are the lower middle class or the poor. The poor prefer Government Hospitals due to the free treatment provided. Hence the revenue earned by taxing the private health care firms, should be used in renovating the present Govt. Hospitals. This will help the poor in a big way. Sanitation rounds should be introduced in Govt. Hospitals.

According to me health centers should be commercialized because if it is commercialized then it can provide facilites like better equipment which we cannot imagine in india, best consultants, doctors of the world. Yes this is true that poor people cannot afford the heavy bills but yes if there is commercialization of health centres then we have double benefits:. 1) we get treatment of all deceases cured in India itself. 2) Specified percentage of profit can be spent on treatment of poor people who cannot afford. Like for example reserving beds in these hospitals, or proving subsidary, etc. Therefore, I would like to conclude that with commercialization we can look at poor in better ways rather by expecting better environment in government hospitals because that can only be a dream in India.

Due to Commercialisation of health care in india, a large number of private hospitals, private clinics, pharmacies have shot up in urban and suburban areas which cater to our needs in a better way by providing better facilities like:easy access to doctors, great infrastructure and 24 hrs services etc. But, obviously, all this comes at a price. Sometimes, a very heavy price. Since, commercialisation means that the main motive is profit, we should not be surprised when we are asked to pay hefty private hospital bills. Rather, the question that should be asked is what about the that section of population which cannot afford tp pay such huge amount. For them, commercialisation os of no use. They are dependent on the government hospitals but unfortunately these cannot provide the desired services and which are responsible for the reason why commercialisation of health care has come up. In sum, I would like to say that we have to admit that the benefits of commercialisation are plenty but some steps need to be taken for the poor who cannot afford the fees of private hospitals. Some of the measures could be reservation of some beds in the private hospitals for the poor, private hospitals having a free opd for the bpl population. If such things come up, then we can see the benefits of commercisalisation reaching everybody.

Commercialization of health care will, no doubt, improve the facilities and ensure that hospitals and other health centers maintain good hygienic standards. On the flip side, the poorer sections of society may not be afford such costly facilities but they will still have the Government and municipal hospitals. Given that medical tourism is booming in India and a lot of foreigners are coming to India just for treatment, it is important that we have the best facilities in place. Commercialization will bring in more investment which in the long run, will encourage competition and force hospitals/clinics to charge affordable prices so as to retain their patients.

Commercialization of hospitals has both its pros & cons pros- 1. better hygiene, better medical facilities, standarised medical treatment. 2. corporate hospitals play a pivotal role in attracting medical tourists indirectly helping our economy as Most of them take medical packages which includes tourism in india, so adding up taxes. Cons- 1. Poor people cant afford their treatment because of high charges. 2. Govt. neglecting the condition of Govt hospitals, doing little or say nothing in improving them.

Dennis said: (Sun, Mar 11, 2012 10:14:14 AM)

I believe that commercialization of hospitals could be allowed with some strings attached. Hospitals are institutions that need to make money to develop their facilities, ensure a good supply of staff and hire well qualified doctors. Hence they will have to function on a business plan and hence commercialization is already a part of setting up a hospital. However the ill effects of commercialization are high hospital charges, consultation fees, equipment usage charges and so on. This in turn affects the poor. Hence the government should pass a law/act requiring the private hospitals to dedicate a certain amount of their revenue to offering free healthcare to the poor. The only resort for the poor in India, comprising of about 30-35% of the population are government hospitals. Government hospitals are known for their lack of sanitation and basic infrastructure like beds, qualified doctors, sufficient medicines, inadequate quantity and quality of staff, underpaid and unhappy staff and so on. Current events point to the huge child deaths in West Bengal. An important step in the direction of progress would be refurbishment of government hospitals by increasing the expenditure on healthcare. Commercialization in healthcare should be regulated by encouraging health centres to diverting their revenues in the direction of the poor rather than spending tons of rupees on advertisings and promotions.

I think commercilisation of healthcare system in India, where recent stastics shows that 50% of our children are under nourished, will be a crime. All the arguements regarding advanced technology, medicine R & D etc. cannot be considered on the fact India is a country where 28% of people live below poverty line and 26% people are still illiterate. Commercialisation leads to a stage where MNCs are having major role in healthcare and common people find it unaffordable. What India need is well developed Public Healthcare system wilth good infrastructures and qualified proffessionals.

Hi ! Friends commercalization of health care is very bad. If the rates of medicines and fee of doctors is high poor people cannot afford that much of amount. Mostly in private hospitals they keep hospitals more hygenic and keep necessary medical equipments. But there is lack of hygenic and medical equipments in govt hospitals. People who afford more money goto private hospitals. What about poor people in remote areas and who live faraway from cities. Govt hospitals in remote areas have only minimum facilities. Govt doctors also commercalized. Some govt doctors are unavailable in govt hospitals. They run private clinics to earn more money. It should be regularly checked by medical superendant. Also some business man to earn more money manufactures fake medicines ointments face creams etc. Goverment should take responsibility and arrange necessary facilities in govt hospitals. Thank you for giving me this oppurtunity.

I think the scheme about commerciallization of helth care is wronge at some those conditions where the poor people can not capable to efforde the facilities which are very costly in abounce their conditions because here in India most of the population is poor. The India is a developing country and the poor people like baggers, private employees & workers can not go to the private clinics and hospitals to get high cost treatment ever. commertiallization of helth care is profit matter only for private clinics & hospitals. Gov. hospitals can't afforde these cost for public becaus ,if gov. would provide these facilitise for every people so it will definately increase taxes on each and every products like,income taxes,food, petrol,vehicles and also on madicines and it will also bad for poor people.that's why i am not agree with commertiallization of helth care.

Commercialization of hospitals is a good thing as it provides better services, proper hygiene and good care to the patients but then not every patient in India can afford a treatment in the apollo and fortis. Also the government should always be a regulatory about the cost so that the hospitals don't charge as they want. Secondly govt should increase the services at the govt hospital rather than only seeking the private hospitals to do so. By giving better services and hygiene at the govt hospital to needy people govt should ensure for the health and well bieng of each individual of this country regardless of his economical class to which he/she belongs. Also the current system should be changed and norms for govt doctors coming late, private practising, non efficient working should be monitered by the medical supretendant. Once this happens than the choice for the treatment should be left on the patients, but for that our govt needs to change the system and change it fast because peoples ife is worthy.

I partially agree with commercialization because these days we can see that many products and medicines have come into picture. Generally to manfacture a small product also requires large investment for the one who manfactures it. He has to work hard to invent a new medicine for the diseases existing now. So he has to sell the medicines and related products as per the requirements he used at the time of preparation. So people should also agree with them because they are responsible for a hale and healthy life. But the manfacturers also should see that the medicine is sold for reasonable rates so that they can be used by remote area people also. That reduces the deathrate and health problems in our country.

I think people didn't get the right meaning of the topic. Health care doesnt only include doctors, hospitals and medicines. It includes a variety of products such as shampoos, soaps, conditioners, face creams, oils, moisturizers, perfumes, deos etc. Many a times peoples' health get spoilt because of these products. People use advertising techniques to promote a product. They even take help of some filmstars to promote products. Because of just the effect of stars people think the product is pretty good and they pay higher amount even for a cheap product. If product suits their body or hairs then its fine if not then money is gone. People actually risk their body, skin and hairs to find suitable product. In this way people ruin their health.

I don't completely agree that commercialisation healthcare is good. Some of my friends has rightly pointed that it brings advanced technology, better medicines etc. But this is only beneficial in case of creamy layer or upper middle class. What about millions of poor people in our country? Dont they deserve better treatments or better medicines? Govt has power n resources to bring better equipments n medicine in govt hospital too. It should take steps to modernise govt hospitals enough to provide better facilties to poor. Atleast govt should see that poor man does not die just because he has not got right n good treatment. India is said to be second fastest growing country in the world but where the poor Indian is getting the benefit of this growth. So if the govt. Can give fuel subsidy, fertilizer subsidy it should also subsidize medical facilities only for poor class n take step to modernise govt hospitals and to earn the revenue for subsidy, it should widen tax base n make the tax laws more stringent for tax evaders.

In modern era it wont be justified to classify the commercialization of health care as good or bad. There are several examples to prove it good as well as bad. Ponints proving it right ========================== 1> In most of the government hospitals, the presence of doctors has become a joke. They can be on some strike. Eg: Rajasthan doctors went on strike just a month ago which caused hundreds of life. 2> Government hospitals lack basic amenities like beds,blankets etc. Death of more than 250 children in Bengal is a fair example supporting this point. 3> There are long queues in government hospitals. Humourous thing is that, we dont count no of people before us. We count no of days before your operation. In AIIMS for a simple appendix operation we have prestigious 1 month queue. The patient will die before his turn comes. Points proving it wrong ========================== 1> As many of you have suggested, doctors operate even though it not required for the sake of money. 2> Most of our country population being poor cannot take the advantages of these hospitals. 3> Recent AMRI hospital fire gives an example of irresponsibities of privatization of hospitals. According to me, inspite of saying commercialization of health-care wrong we can make it right by making strong laws regarding: medical expenses, regular inspection for safety. Guys in our country at this stage nothing is right or wrong, we have to make things right.

Well on this point, I am puzzled. Friends do you know about health care system in US. There every citizen is insured by the government. If you met with an accident, a van will come pick you treat you unless you get well and can leave hospital on your own. I think this is the best system for evryone. But here in India system is completely different. A huge population, less capital with government, less accuracy in implementation. So such concept is of no use. But purely commercialization will create blunder for common people. They charge so high charges without any reason even it that treatment can be done in less expense then too. Even I want to add my personnel experience here, there are such doctors who do surgery of any patient even if it is poosible by other means just to earn money. (is shouldn't use this word but they literally becomes jallad for money) but I do agree with your points too that yes commercialization of it bring advance technology, better medicine, better equipment and better doctors. This is good for those people who can afford. So my opinion is there should be a mix type of system where private and govt both type of hospitals are there and both are working well, dedicated to benefit customers rather creating profit. As I am a bhu student I have seen medical colg and their hospitals, they are at very low cost and they are providing good services. So i'll again say in indain market a mix of both will be good.

Commercialization of health care is bad. My point of view is that the government has to allot some percentage of money for the government hospitals. Suppose if there is a huge spread of the diseases, then the govt doctors should be instructed to provide the prevention mechanisms irrespective of the money. It can be understood that almost only the poor and the middle class people go to govt hospitals. So why don't the govt hospitals be improved with the necessary facilities. If the govt is not ready to do this then only the people can do this by providing funds to the govt hospitals by helping the needy.

Its a very famous saying "money can buy anything".Even emotions, pleasures,joy etc. can be bought in this materialistic world.But when it comes to health we cant deny the fact that it is completely dependent on the money factor.A rich person gets every accommodation only because he can afford it but on the other hand poor person starves even for a good diet and getting higher medical facilities is something what he cant even think of. As far as commercialization of health sector is concerned ; without moving to the extreme yes or no some middle ways are also there.for example,some of the hospitals in Delhi get privatized after 3 o' clock.and people have to pay only 60% of the total fee and rest 40%are used as fund,medication,insurance etc.and hence through this way poor get served in the similar way as the rich do......what i feel that this technique will not harm any of the humankind. Further lets have a look on the expenses made in the field.only 1.2%is spent on health sector.At least 2.5% should be spent in this sector in order to make some fruitful change in the sector and to enhance the quality and make it reasonable for every class.

My opinion is commercialization of health is bad because nowadays 40% of population under poverty. They don't have much money for treatment in government hospital. But everyone knows that public hospital will not provide quality treatment. With the help of government we should over come the un necessary things in public hospital. If you went private hospital before admitting a person we should 1000 of money for their treatment.

Commercialism of medical is good only to some extent, providing the facilities are good in private hospitals compared to the govt hospitals. But what about the charges after commercialization. A govt body is to be fixed to observe all this. Govt should fix charges for every treatment. If any doctor taking extra money for any facilities we have to keep aware of every poor people that if any takes extra money then call to a particular number which should be work very effectively. Then even the doctors will get afraid to take extra money. Do you agree?

Looking at all the points mentioned above I do agree or support the view for commercialization of healthcare sector to some extent as it will help to improve the quality of healthcare in entire country and along with this it will also increase or promote the concept of medical tourism in India as it will contribute to the economy the country. Meanwhile I just want to draw your attention to the facilities provided by the government hospitals are far low as compared to the private hospitals but consider AIIMS, do you think it is at all of low standard as compared to private hospitals. No I don't think so. So why can't government take an initiative to upgrade other governments sectors to the standard of AIIMS. Because their is not enough budget allotted to healthcare segment in India. So by commercialization government can make some money and invest those dollars for developing healthcare segment in India. So commercialization can indirectly help the poor people in India as money generated by commercialization can be utilized for improving the quality of healthcare facilities provided at government hospitals.

Well, according to me commercialization/privatization of health sector is good but commercialization doesn't mean that the private hospital should be allowed to cut the pocket of common people on their own will. There should be a regulatory authority governing their function and pricing of services as we have NPPA (National Pharmaceuticals Pricing Authority) for governing the MRP of Medicine. There should be regular check by competent authority like Medical Council of India (MCI). By commercialization people will get better health care and hygiene.

According to me commercialisation of health care is a solution to the problem being faced by the govt hospital. Commercialisation of helath care doesn't mean that Govt have no role to play. After commercialisation the funds which are presently being allotted to the Ministy of Health for upliftment of helath care can be utilised as subsidy to the poors. the infrastructure will be devolped by Govt and the facilities there will be provided by private hospitals. thus the expenditure being done by govt on medicines and medical equipments can be utilised for subsidy to poors. In addition the private hospital will also pay to govt authorities for hiring the bldgs. they will get profit only as fees,operating charges and medicines. thus the private sector will also be in profit and govt sector will also be happy. the patients will get proper treatment with care with due importance to hygiene and sanitation. due to the subsidy provided by govt the medical treatment will be far cheaper than the charges being taken by the private hosp presently. it is important to mention here that the person who got injures or fell ill don't look for money. he gives his best bet to save his life.

But because of unhygenic condition and pathetic condition of govt hospital, private hospitals are rising day by day. So, goverment should take action regarding all the drawbacks of govt hospitals and put forward to overcome the drawbacks.

Commercialisation in health care basically means setting up private owned hospitals which in turn are the ones set on the business ethics of profit. But this does not mean that there is no proper treatment. Its true that the charges are more and in India where there are so many poor people cannot afford such high charges. The govt hospitals draw a lot of people as because the charges are reasonably low and has some fine experienced doctors and not only that these hospitals cover many rural parts too. So its true that govt hospitals in India are the most sought after hospitals in our country. But when we compare the facilities, hygenic conditions and hospitality then certainly private hospitals are ahead. Basically these hospitals draw large number of high society people only because of these reasons. Also these hsopitals have some finest doctors from around the globe, the Apollo group for example, which is considered are as one of the finest hospitals in the country as far as treatment of patients is concerned. Not only that the era of medical tourism has begun. People from round the globe are choosing India as there medical destination not because of above facilities mentioned but because they are chaeper than other commercialised hospitals across the world. For an instance, heart bypass surgery will cost around 6500$ in India whereas it will cost around 30000$ in the US. So this is not only giving proper treatment to people but also is drawing people from all around and helping in boosting up the economy. So finally the thing is that in a country like ours where there are poor and rich people side by side, there should also be govt and commercialised hospitals sisde by side with the ultimate goal of proper treatment of patients.

Upgradadtion of Hospital by the govt is also need of the hour because the more the people aware & concerned about their health, the load on Govt Hospital increased.

With all due respect to the above forum members, Commercialization is an inexorable element in this age. Healthcare sector is one of the most lucrative sectors for investment nowadays since healthcare is a necessity and not a luxury. The people think that overcharging or increasing the fees of the doctor is commercialization However they must understand that it is just a vacuous activity deployed by a simpleton who thinks short term. The actual or pure commercialization happens when the hospital reduces the charges and the doctors to fees to very low levels. This strategy has been followed by some of the biggest hospitals around the world and they have found success. When a hospital charges exorbitant prices, they are likely to pull back the potential customers from visiting the hospital and if the services rendered by the hospital does not match the level of the prices they demand, it add to the problem making it even more worse and giving it a bad word of mouth. Hospitals which charge high prices may get enough patients from the ultra rich and creamy layer of the society for a short term but in the long term its sure to send their profits declining. When a Hospital charges reasonable prices and provide high quality services, it pulls in a large amount of customers/patients thus sending their profits high in the long term. The only problem here is that the payback period of the project will be slightly longer than Hospitals which charge high prices. This also creates a positive word of mouth. Another thing to be noticed is the Luxury Factor. The luxury quotient of a product goes high when the price of the product goes high. Likewise, hospitals that provide luxury services cannot compromise on the prices since that will have a drastic affect on the luxury quotient of the services they provide. Keeping aside the luxury factor, commercialization happens when they begin to dedicate their hospital for a social cause.

Commercialisation of any sector means allowing more and more private players to enter the sector and as we all know the main motive of the private sector is to earn profits more than anything else. They do not have any socio-economic objectives. When the main intention is to make profits, at some point or the other during their activities there might be a need to compromise on quality, without any wrong intention, in order to keep their costs down and hence increasing the gains. Because that is how a commercial activity works- to maximise gains at minimum costs. Any compromise on quality of services in the health care sector can prove to be disastrous as it is concerned with lives of people. Hence I feel that commercialisation of health care sector is not desirable. But even if it is allowed the government should continue to play a big role in healthcare so that common people are not deprived of quality health care services.

Normally theses equipments are not been made available in a public est. Even for a normal middle class person health is more important than anything at this case they are ready to shell out money for the lives of their near and dear ones so money is not always a problem to be talked about.

There is saying that " Health is wealth", but now a days this saying can be slightly modified as "wealthier is Healthier". The major reason may be the carelessness of Government. The Department of health should be so effective such that they have to provide the good hospitalisation to everyone at lowest prices, but that is been failed by the government Every one is afraid of the government Hospitals treatment. Corruption is also major factor. In such a case obviously we depend on the private hospitals for good treatment purpose. If we need good hospitalisation then we should not think of money. We are also aware of the cost of medical equipments like scanning machine, X-Ray Machine, various chemicals which are used for blood tests, urine test and so on. To meet these expenses the private hospitals charge higher prices to provide safe treatments to patients. So we cannot totally blame all the health care centres are commercialised or they are charging very high prices. There are many hospitals which are made for poor, lower middle class families or middle class families from various trusts and other human welfare institutions. Some time they are giving free treatment also. I am not trying to say that the commercialisation of health care is good. But in the society all types of health care centres are available and we have to decide as per our strength and economic stability. Thank You. Jai Hind.

I think the issue is being confused with money laundering by the doctors. Cpmmercialization of health care has bought about a sea of change in the health care sector. It would be foolish to imagine that if it were not for the equipment and treatment techniques introduced by the more innovative and mobile private sector health care institutions that our government would have in this short time moved govt hospitals to whatever standard there is now. Having agreed to that, it is also important to note that government negligence and general disinterest with which a govt doctor treats patients is equally to blame. How cases are executed on govt hospital doctors, who have patients die on thier hands simply because they were otherwise engaged? The goverment ignores the upliftment of doctor which in turn reflects on how the doctor looks at his patients. If the goverment were to offer the same amenities to both doctor and patient as is available to them in top private sector institutions, would it be leading to say that we would be looking at an ideal situation where the good is marked and the bad done away with?

This is the best chance for the private hospitals to attract the patients and gain huge profits . Even for small cough , they prescribe costly medicines , and even operations , if the patient's family is quite sound enough . In these days, doctors' greed has increased so much that , even though they have a govt. job , they don't attend it & go to their own private clinics . In case if any patients come to govt. hospitals , they advice them to meet at their clinic for better treatment . Is this the way to behave?

If we talk about commercialization of health care, the cost of everything in a crporate hospital is much higher than what it is in govt. Hospital, but along with it the facilities and standards provided by the pvt. Hospitals are much much better there,that's why people even knowing that costs are high prefer going to a pvt. Hospital, for better cure. If govt. works out on the govt. hospitals then we people can be assured of going there. Higher cost can be now met with the insurance & TPA,so people look for quality and that should be provided,and that will make a difference.

Absolutely Bad . The concept of treatment has lost the publics' belief on it after it's commercialization. Every person on this earth , irrespective of his/her religion , prays only to a Doctor . But they are extracting as much money as they can by fooling their patients , in the name of treatment . Especially , the private sector hospitals are behaving like "Money Foxes", with an endless appetite. May God punish those foxes which are drinking innocent patients' blood(money). The government is also sitting still as if it doesn't know anything . The condition of govt. hospitals is terrible with dilapidated infrastructure . This is the best chance for the private hospitals to attract the patients and gain huge profits . Even for small cough , they prescribe costly medicines , and even operations , if the patient's family is quite sound enough . In these days, doctors' greed has increased so much that , even though they have a govt. job , they don't attend it & go to their own private clinics . In case if any patients come to govt. hospitals , they advice them to meet at their clinic for better treatment . Is this the way to behave? Being in such a respectable position , they are misusing the power. The government should take immediate action on such doctors & hospitals. The public should also raise questions upon them .Let's teach this greedy medical men a tough lesson . Shall we?
