Commercialization of Health Care: Good or Bad?

Commercialization is not a solution for the healthcare, why because after unseen god we believe the second and seen god is DOCTOR.

Doctors studied their course as they have to do service to a society, Now we are in the generation that everyone wants conveyance irrespective of Rich & Poor. But yes Rich can afford it easily but in the case of poor, we see very rarely he/she choose private hospitals.

I would like to say which ever the technology we trying to add for the treatment in private hospitals, Install a same equipment in the government hospitals and maintain some hygiene and neat, then it's far better than going to the private one.

I conclude my point by saying commercialization of healthcare is not good.

In case of pharmaceuticals, commercialization is bad because we find many antibiotics, mood stabilizers, painkillers and even some vaccinations (rarely) are making people sick. We come to see many symptoms such as nausea, autism, paralysis in some patients. Also, we come to see many private practice doctors and especially cosmetic surgeons playing with patient's health for money. Government should adopt the policy of State Intervention to ensure private hospitals are available in small towns and villages and using less expensive means, instead of being available in just big cities and abroad.

The term Commercialization means the Profit is implicit requirement. The commercialization of health care has been adopted by most of the capitalist countries (especially western countries) where the cost of medication is very high and one has to have health insurance to get medical treatment from hospitals otherwise he/she cannot afford it. Unfortunately, we Indians have such a mindset that "whatever is western, is good"; so obviously following the same pattern even in Healthcare. The Insurance lobby is backed by politicians, funded by western investors. So Insurance companies ensure that the medicare costs remain high and people tend to buy Health Insurance from them.

Private Hospitals and Insurance lobbies always favor each other. Since Government/Government aided hospitals are not well-equipped, most of the people left with no option but to get treatment in Private hospitals. So this is the whole vicious circle. If we ask for salaries of doctors working in Private Hospitals, well, they do not get paid handsomely. For example, doctors sign contract for Rs. 80000/- but they get the actual salary of Rs. 40000/-. So the obvious question arises that where our money goes?

The point behind the whole story is, Education and Healthcare are the backbones of our nation and every citizen has the fundamental right (at least in books) to get the both. So these two things must have Government Regulation. The current situation is exactly opposite.

So final word is, Commercialization of Healthcare is not at all good. I agree that most of the Government Hospitals are still in the 19th century, but on the other hand, Private Hospitals, although very advanced, are profit oriented and do not care about their patients.

Hi.

In my point of view, commercialization is not good for us. We know the infrastructure of government hospital is not well and in private hospital, there is available everything but common people can't afford expenses of this hospital. Generally, I look manly doctor of gov. Hospital opens his own clinic for earn more money. Somewhere doctor and pharmacy both are connected to each other plays game with people. Innocent people are making fool. This all things are the part of commercialization. No one thinks about patient.

In my point of view, commercialization may be good for health sector. We all are aware the situation of government hospital. Due to commercialization, infrastructure will be improved facility will be improved in hospital. Competition will take place among private player benefit will be direct goes to patients, but only one concern is fee and this is major concern, to offset the concerned government should come forward and formulate a proper policy, proper mechanism such as provide incentive for poor people and BPL family so that common man can get treatment at reasonable price.

Commercialisation of health care is definitely going to be a better solution only if restricted under some rules &regulation. More than 1000 peoples are dying daily due to the lack of facilities in government hospitals. Ultimately the person has to go for private sectors. So if there are no private sectors available then it's going to be hazardous for masses. Private sectors provide good facilities and proper treatment but are however costlier than the government hospitals. So government must look into these matters and should formulate a better policy so that one can get treatment at a reasonable price. At the same time, government should take care of existing government hospitals whether they are functioning well or not. Doctors working there generally open their own private hospital to earn more money. So there should be a regular basis check on them. Nothing is much worth than a life so according to me commercialization is good n at the same time necessary for the healthcare of individuals.

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.

Commercialization is good at times of urgency but when it comes to lives of common people of our country it is not possible almost for everyone at our country being a developing one so nationalisation could be a better move!

I believe that commercialization of health care is highly dangerous cos there are many consequences wherein the humanity need to face with. According to the present scenario, commercialization has increased tremendously to vast extent that no one could ever stop from doing it when we turn to the people who're being commercialised in medical care. They're bothered only about their own profit and they look after from their own perspectives. People of this era in the medical field are least bothered about the health of the people who have been afflicted with some ailment. They never care about nothing rather than money. They tend to consume more amount of money than that is afforded for patients treatment. For an instance Members who have been working in the medical sector are making use of normal people in the society claiming that the patient has to undergo particular treatment or surgery only for the sake of grabbing more money from people though the treatment and surgery for the patients are not required in reality I think that the commercialization in medical sector is limited only to some extent. So I conclude by saying that commercialization in the present in medical care is bad according to the present scenario.

India is digitizing very fast and I think if we make health also digital and connect general public through any Online Healthcare Platform then it will change the whole picture of health care in India. IMedicalHub Health Records is an initiative to offer compete healthcare online and make the general people able to track their complete health anytime, anywhere with an ease.
