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.

It has both advantages and disadvantages. Advantages because it helps in the growth of the nation and the growth rate of population increase technological advancement would be also done in India. Experienced doctors who have already retired can be employed again which helps them also in monetary terms. In case of emergency private hospitals are of great help because govt hospitals are always crowded and in case of an emergency we also can't wait. Private hospitals also give better service than the govt ones as they charge a higher amount of money. Commercialization should be done in a way that middle-class people can also afford the services and should not be so high priced that the poor and middle class won't be able to afford.

Hello friends,
Commercialisation of health care means an increase in no of health care technology, increase in no. Of yoga classes & increase in no of a private hospital. I think it is good as well as bad. Good because life is precious. In our country most of the government hospital do not have proper equipment & facilities. So increase in our health services and awareness, for quickness in treatment, for hygienic environment & for good care, commercialization is very important. But it has high cost so it is a curse for poor people. So, finally, I want to say that comm. Of health care is necessary but it should be kept in mind that we all want to live. So Keeping all treatment within the range of middle-lower class increase comm us required for a better health of our nation.

Hello, friends, I think commercialization of health care has both advantages and disadvantages -first, if we talk about advantages, then it's good for the hospital to make people aware about their latest technologies in hospitals, their latest treatment also about their doctors who have many many years of experiences. As patients are very much attracted with more experienced highly qualified doctors. So, with these reasons I think healthcare commercialization is good.
But in the same way, it has some disadvantages also if the most qualified doctor leaves the workplace then ultimately the revenue of the hospital is merely affected. So, in my opinion, the commercialization of the hospital is done according to the best facilities and services they are providing in their hospitals. So that mouth to mouth publicity your hospital gain.

Hi Guys,
Of course, "Good" because with the help of commercialization doctors can say that there is "God" who is going to save the life. Commercialization is nothing but proper care of the patients by means of the modern and useful machinery of the medicines inside hospitals. We all having the experience of bad time in the hospitals when doctors use to say that I'm sorry there is nothing in my hand this patient is going to die and we stuck at a place in very sad mood and at that time we only remember the "God" and pray to save the life but that life is gone. These kinds of situations take place because of not proper medicines, machinery and having handsome experience doctors inside the hospitals. Commercialization in "Health Care" gives us all those facilities through which possibilities of lives safety goes up with us.
So when we get more & more such benefits with the thing so we always try to ignore nominal minus points so that we can get saved the lives because life's safety is first. We know that the fee is major concerned but there are many ways to handle this worry which is always in our hands and most people get out from this situation to save the life.
Thanks.

Commercialization of health care either her good or bad. The coin has two sides of positive and negative. If we urgency any accident or any reason, also require quick and timely. So Commercial health care provides better than the government Hospital. But government improve the technology, provide good service so, definitely not required to commercial health.
I conclude that it is required both, if any urgency when we do not reach in any government hospital, we required to go private hospital near the location.

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.

When we talk about commercialization of health care we start throwing pros and cons. But we never thought the dark side of "why can't we made it as good as commercial service"?
The fact what I can think includes the system failure (major) and the public ignorance due to lack of awareness. Have we ever thought why commercial system give better performance or services. It is because of the strong system and check and balance. If we try to develop a strong system and check and balance we will definitely going to provide better service.
Concluding the point No need of commercialization of health only we need is to develop the right and tight system which can easily be reviewed and a sense of responsibility can be in the system. Apart from that people should also have to came forward to raise voice which can be a second check and balance.

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.

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.
