Hi Friends. ! According to me Commercialization of health is not a welcoming act. Because due to this the prices of Doctor's will increase and this will affect the poor people. Who are unable to pay the fee of such high paid doctors and they will not get proper medical facility what they need. Also by commercialization of health attract government doctors to their private medical hospital this will harm government hospital.
Education and medical facility are two most important and basic need of any human life. Any decrement on these two will lead our society toward down stair.

Friend,
Complete privatization is not the solution of health care problems in India.
I don't think that it is better to eliminate the government hospitals instead of modifying the systems going on with health care. Duty of doctors should be watched and they must do their duty well. For elimination of interruption and inconvenience we must take help of private investment and private employees.

According to me the private hospital sector does more commercialization compared to government sector government trying hard to maintain the quality but still it's impossible according to me there should be a union or bonding should be made from government side so that there should be no misguiding or no profit can me made more this lead to lowering of corruption and mass load on a single branch there should be a collateral and support thinking should be made between 2 sectors this would lead to increase the quality and decrease in medically unstable ratio.

Commercialization of healthcare if of course not such a good idea given we can enhance our govt aided medical schools and hospitals. There is such deep routed corruption in this country that given the current status and numbers of our Govt Medical schools and hospitals, a lot of needy are not getting the treatment they deserve and expertise are being sold at higher prices to the ones who can either afford it or have contacts in the ministry.
On the other hand, if we can have proper regulations on the healthcare treatments, prices, pharma companies. It is not that bad an idea to commercialize healthcare because this will attract more investors to open hospitals and medical college thus reducing our dependence on a few big names who charge a fortune and exploit the customers.
So in the end, given our current scenario. It'll not really be beneficial to commercialize healthcare.

I think commercialization is good since as we all know it provides better facilities, etc etc. Yes we all know they charge high for their services and poor people cannot afford it but why to deprive rich and middle class than can afford these facilities. If poor people cannot afford that doesn't mean we should stop developing our country. For poor people govt should develop their hospitals to provide better amenities and govt should keep a check on privately owned hospitals as well as govt so that no corruption takes place.

Commercialization is definitely bad in health care as well as Education sector since it means to compromises with quality, services etc. For profit making. Since the main reason for this is privatization, I am strongly against privatization of such sectors providing with these important services to the citizens of a country. Privatization in aviation, tourism, leisure etc. Is bearable but not in health-care and education. It has lead to a situation where we are at the verge of reaching a stage when perhaps middle class and poor people will not really have the right to quality education and health-care services since private institutions and hospitals are willing to cater to the needs of the rich only.
Such basic facilities must be in the hands of the government only and it should strive to provide quality in these services.

Hi Friends, I would like present my views on this interesting topic. According to me Everything has pros and cons. Same with this. In private hospitals who can afford will get very good treatment and facility. For them they are very good for them they will get all facility on single place. They don't have wander here and there to get things prescribed by doctor. Even doctor will give full attention to the patients.
Similarly on the other hand India is developing country more than 40% people are living below poverty line. They can't afford private hospital and their facility. In short we should make balance between two although poor will also get benefit from private hospital. Only government can do help in this case.

Its good to do commercialization of health as for a developing country like India its good to get advance medical facilities and at the end of the day private hospitals are also spending lot of money to bring these advanced facilities in India.
However, on the other hand government should help the people below poverty line who cannot afford these expensive medical facilities.

Hi Friends, we very well known that idiom 'Health is Wealth'. Everyone wants good facilities to get well soon. But India in India more than 40% people are living below the poverty line. They can/t afford good hospital and costly treatment. IF health is commercialized no doubt we will get good facilities in cheaper price. But Poor people can't afford them. Because the people who can afford always prefer good hospitals at any cost. IF poor people will get benefit from commercialization means free medicine. Free treatment for poor people. Than it can be beneficial.

According to me commercialization of health care is the need of the hour because of poor governance of the government the condition in all the sectors such as telecommunications, transportation, electricity is worse and because of changes in the life style of people with full of stress without commercialization we can't not expect good health services and new studies cannot be carried out without the help of MNC operating.
Those who are pointing put the position of poor people government should come forward with some schemes where in the treatment will be provided at some subsidy offered so that the quality does not degrade.
So to conclude the topic completely eradication of anything is not a solution rather opportunities should be welcomed.
