Commercialization of Health Care: Good or Bad?

Good morning everyone.

So, our topic of discussion is Commercialization of Healthcare is good or bad. First of all, we get to know about the meaning of commercialization. Commercialization of health care means Better infrastructure of hospitals, better nursing facilities, Highly educated doctor available.
Why commercialization is needed?

According to WHO in the condition of a government hospital in India is not so good. Government hospitals are not well hygiene. The ratio of bed to population is very less.

As we know every coin has two faces:

Advantages of commercialization of healthcare:

1. Better health care facility.
2. Better infrastructure.
3. Well hygiene environment
4 Treatment takes place in a short time
5 Better availability of medicines

Disadvantages of Communication:

1. Poverty: In India very large number Of the population is poor they can't afford the commercialized hospital.
2. High Fees of hospitals.
3. Corruption. And Partiality.

Conclusion: Healthcare is basic need because everyone loves to stay fit...but everyone can't afford high fees hospital so govt should provide some subsidiary to poor people's and govt should do health insurance of poor peoples. By keeping all the above things in mind Commercialization of healthcare is good.

Thank you.

Hi everyone,

In my view commercialization of health care has both advantages and disadvantages. We all are well aware of the condition of government hospitals, we find unhygienic environment, unavailability of doctors, there is nobody to take care immediately in cases of accidents and serious injuries, there is lack of infrastructure so the people have no choice except for visiting private hospitals and there we find proper infrastructure and proper health care facilities but they charge a huge amount for the treatment so what is the solution for the poor where they can get proper treatment?

The only solution I strongly feel is that government should come forward and take immediate action in this regard by collaborating with these health care units and provide equal treatment to all the sections of society at reasonable rates and in the meanwhile should check that there should be no compromise in the health of the people.

Number of Patients per Doctor is higher in government hospitals, as a result the Patients don't get Proper treatment. It is also exhausting for the doctor to treat so many Patients, so he is not able to treat treatment properly.

Commercialization of health care is bad. When an emergency case is taken to the hospital even for the first aid they are asking for money without starting the treatment. As a csr they should give treatment. Human value should be known to them. They are realizing only the value of money.

Commercialization of Health Care: Good or Bad ?

According to my view, commercialization of health care will be benefit for India in many ways :

1: New machine, equipment, medicine and infrastructure will come into the hospital.

2: Diseases will get cure soon.

3: Test report of various disease will come soon so that the doctor can take quick action against the disease specially in case of DENGUE in which the test report take at least 24 hrs.

4: Commercialization also motivate the private players to enter into the health care market which will increase the competition in the market and patient will get benefited.

Govt can control the commercialization of health care by taking various steps :

1: By inviting private player for joint venture the up gradation of govt hospital can happen.

2: By luring the private player from tax benefit scheme the govt can keep control on private hospital.

3: By making mandatory for each private hospital that they have to treat at least 25% BPL & middle class people for free of cost which include every thing from doctor fees to medicine.

4: The private hospital doctors should give training to govt hospital doctors on periodical basis.

5: Govt & Private hospital account should be check on periodical basis in order to avoid any misuse to fund or subsidy provided by the central govt or state govt.

6: Make mandatory for private hospital that every hospital have to visit rural area once in a month & give treatment free of cost to rural people.

7: Give education on medical disease & there treatment in various school.

Given to discuss this topic, the first point to be stated here is care in any form cannot and should not be commercialized ever! In the Indian subcontinent, doctors are treated as gods where the helpless patient's family entrusts fully on the doctor to be provided with the best kind of treatment ensuring a healthy recovery of the patient. But the reality is this helpless state of the patient's family is being misused by the hospital authority to brag in huge sums of money. Every other day we come across such news where doctors have charged lumpsum on even a dead patient. In such a gruesome situation whom shall a commoner trust? The life is gone and the family is burdened with an incalculable sum of money. Commercialization and globalization is good for Indian economy but certainly not in healthcare sector which deals with lives. The government should provide adequate funding and infrastructure to hospitals. Instead of commercialization, new technologies should be adopted to enhance our healthcare framework. Cash inflows should be properly channelized for proper infrastructure development rather than satisfying personal greed. Free healthcare camps should be set up for the poor so that health care is accessible by every citizen in every part of the country.

Good evening friends.

Health care is the place where people come for treatment. So the health care should be neat and clean. Now there are three different types of family live in India-the rich family, the middle class family and the poor family. In India the 2nd and 3rd group amounts to almost 80%. For the first group its not difficult to go for private medication. The problem comes when we talk about 2nd and 3rd group. They just can afford to go for costly medication of private health care.

There are some benefits of commercialization of health care. They are.

1. Good sanitation.

2. Proper treatment.

3. Doctors on duty would always be there for the patients unlike gov hospitals.

Now if we look at the other side of the coin the situation is entirely different.

1. Private sector may charge the cost of medicine at their own will.

2. They may charge lots of money for treatment for a particular disease which might be provided at free of cost in the gov health care.

3. As I have said that middle and lower class family in India amounts to 80% in India who can't afford costly medication. It would be like a dream for those people to get their disease treated without money. Many people may die without treatment.

So I want to conclude that although commercialization of health centre has advantages but it has would have major problem with regard to the Indian population. So I would suggest to make our govt health care better by properly utilizing gov funds allotted for it instead of commercialization of health centre.

Thank you.

Private hospitals have the most modern and sophisticated medical equipment, that last for a long time. Government hospitals also have good equipment, but since they are used more as compared to private hospitals, so they are prone to get damaged.

Commercialization is not completely bad, it is because we can get timely and quality service in the commercialized hospital.

Yes, it is true that the cost of service is high but our life is more important than the cost of medicine. When we visit the public hospitals we have to wait for at least few days to get just an x-ray, but it is quick and convenient to commercial hospitals.

For poor people, it is difficult to go in such hospitals, so government must make and implement strict rules and regulations in order to provide the service at low cost to the poor ones.

Finally, commercialization is good when it is done with proper rules to provide facilities to the backward people.

According to my opinion commercialization of health is not good for a country like India. We know that India is a developing nation and most of the people are comes under BPL line. These poor people can't afford the large price of health services. Most of the common people depends GOVT hospital for treatment.

But the condition of most the GOVT hospital is very poor. We have to improve the quality of services provided by GOVT hospitals. There by we can increases our nations income and also provide good services at cheap price to common people in our country.
