Hello friends.
I would like to share my opinion regarding the commercialization of healthcare.
I think commercialization of health care is an necessary evil.
We all are very much aware of the predicaments of government hospitals. The quality of treatment is really poor in govt hospitals. The facilities, medical equipments, treatments and everything in govt hospital are worst when compared to that of private hospitals. The only difference it makes is that the treatment fee. Commercialization of healthcare will increase the treatment fee but simultaneously it will be compelled to provide better treatment, better doctors, better facilities and better health and also there will be updation of equipments which is really required because we cannot rely on obsolete equipments used in govt hospitals which can turn fatal for the life of patients. I know common people will face big problem as they would not be able to afford the fee. But I got a food for thoughts for all- is money more important than life of people ?
Commercialization of healthcare: good or bad? now you know the answer.

Hi my dear ones,
In my point of view commercialization of healthcare means to give the responsibilities belongs to healthcare like hospitals, doctors, medicines. Whenever the responsibilities goes to people who are not working under government are show their efficiency in better ways because they get some fee for their work but this is not correct at all time because some time they won't be, reason is their negligence. If commercialization of healthcare happen then it is not be appreciated by people who are belongs to under middle class or people belongs to poverty. So, finally am concluded commercialization of healthcare is good when the government make some rules and then to do them in practice like investing more money than the need.
Thank you.

Greeting,
In our human growing family, two rights are backbone of the human race. Let me not mince words. Any government which does not provide has failed the citizens. These are needs not privileges.
1. Right to education.
2. Right to medicine and medical treatment.
These two areas are 'sevas " it has no room for profiteering. These two are the core requirement of any society. In fact, they are pillars of human society. This guarantees equality and the person remains useful when the person is developed in mind. And body. The role of Nature's cure can not be underscored. Herbs and ayurvedic medicines have historical evidence. They heal in a holistic fashion. Whereas allopathy has the best diagnostic tools. These two need to be married in a way, where the best result comes out, leading to affordable universal health care, a dream of any government. Kindly remember body has the ability to treat itself if we know how to assist it. This is the very function of Ayurveda. Modern medicine comes into play for just ten per cent of the cases. However, we are applying to most patients and skyrocketing the cost. This involves, where all disciplines of medicine coming together to draw a protocol that is cost-effective and result oriented.
I see this happening, most hospitals have established Ayurveda centres, and people look for medical help by their choosing. Thus this is not a concerted effort, there should be a well-planned protocol by putting all disciplines of medicines together and evolving it.

No doubt, commercialization is creating more awareness among the people and therefore, people are attracted towards those medical centers which are providing better health facilities.
Of course there is a price rise in this field too but if there's price rise then there are better facilities too which is helping to cure a number of serious cases.

Commercialization is a good method for every developing country because if there will be not any govt sector is working with all the facilities which patients want then at that time commercialization method will work better than govt hospitals in other hand we can say that if there will be any particular profit will be there then the persons which is including they will work hard for more profit.

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.

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.

First of all I would like to say thanks to all my friends.
It is good to appreciate the topic which we get as a discussion.
As per my opinion we could say how to effect due to commercialization.
1. It runs only for earning profit by providing better facilities which is not needed. Patient is not like your lifetime customer. We should treat him like a human being. We should cure his / her disease. We should think like socialism - commercialisation - profit but we should not think like profit - commercialism.
2. As a healthcare we could say who is the customer ? In this case we came to know that when MEDICAL REPRESENTATIVE made direct contact with doctor not the real patient. In this case as a honest and genuine doctor, he should prescribe the medicine which is very economical in price and curable like genetic medicine etc.
