Commercialization of health care must be taken in a positive way. We all know the current situation of facilities in government run hospital a poor man get. If we have different health insurance companies providing a variety of plans, health care becomes easy and less suffering for a common man. Due to this commercialization of health care, today we have so many options for health care & for covering health expenses. Nowadays, we can do all the stuff online without meeting different agents/brokers.

Hi everyone.
I feel commercialization is good for bringing development in that sector. Let us accept it Healthcare facilities in government hospitals are really poor. Why is it so? Of course it is because of lack of commercialization. If commercialization happens in healthcare sector there will be improved facilities with improved technological developments. However, it should be made sure that it doesn't exceed the limits that poor are not able to afford healthcare facilities.

I think commercialization of healthcare in India is good for the medical service purpose, because if we see the government healthcare and hospitals, the infrastructure is very bad mostly in the rural areas. Peoples are dying everyday because of poor and wrong treatment. So, if we commercialize our healthcare service and the government control the supply of medicines that could be a change in the healthcare services and it should be helpful for the rural people of our country.

Commercialization of health has its own pros and cons. There are several schemes provided by the government for poor people. But they are limited only to some diseases. The remaining can be cured only from private hospitals. They are saving someones life but are afforded by a few. SO if government takes step and extend its services, many of the poor will be benefited. This happens only if the government takes care of its people rather than its posts.

Commercialization of health care can either be good or bad, bearing in mind that in society we have the poor and the rich. Though it can improve service delivery in the health care, on the other hand there is some degree of skepticism in this regard as it likely to lead to exploitation of people resources. Government care more the well being of its citizen while the private health service providers care more of the medical cost as well profits.

Hi we are talking about the commercialisation of health sector. I don't think so that commercialization is a good option in health as well as in education because if we commercialise these two big sectors n we know that india's 35 to 38 percent population is below poverty line and afford high fee for hospital is very difficult. These two big sectors should be in the hands of government which can be more benefited for people of our nation.

In my view Commercialization in health care has brought up lots of benefits like increasing facilities, private hospitals are fulfilling the requirements of extra hospitals in the our country which government is not able to open new one, etc. But its should be up to some extent only, and government should take a strong decision regarding to this issue so that poor people can get some advantage from this and misuses can be minimized.

Everything now becomes a business. Marketing strategy in medicines causes a poor. Infrastructure in govt hospitals is very poor. So, private takes it as advantage earning huge. High-class peoples spend a lot of money for health care. But, pours only way is govt hospitals. The increase of private hospitals leads to commercial business. So, govt should take action to improve the govt hospital standard and quality of lives.

Hello friends, having opportunity to talk regarding this topic is that I don't agree with the fully commercialization of medicines because most of the people in India are middle class and they can not afford high prices of medicine, it is also same for the poor people, but not for rich people. Govt should involved in to such activities that the people can get quality medicine in reasonable range so that they can afford.

Commercialization improves knowledge among public about the products in the industry, how the industry is improving etc. However, it increases the ad expenses, therefore, increasing the cost of medicines making it expensive to afford. It is a 50-50 for the poor and Middle class but advantageous to the rich. Government hospitals must help the lower classes and commercialization of healthcare is beneficial for all.
