Commercialization of Health Care: Good or Bad?

Commercialization of Health Care promises better infrastructure, better medical facilities, and technological advancement. Private hospitals are also well-maintained in comparison to government hospitals. But then, their charges are high. Poor and middle-class people cannot afford it. This will contradict the very purpose of having better health care system. So, keeping this in mind, the government should issue guidelines and formulate policies that benefit both hospitals and people. The government should constantly monitor private hospitals and take severe action in case of any mistreatment. If possible, the government should provide subsidy to poor. I would like to conclude by saying that the commercialization of healthcare is important for the development of the nation but can only be a success when done with proper care and righteousness.

Hi,

In my opinion commercialization of health care is not good because nowadays health care costs are more. And mainly people suffer due to lack of facilities mainly in government hospitals. The facilities like sanitation, drinking water, beds etc are not available in government hospitals. Therefore people go to private hospitals. But in private hospitals also they charge more. It means more money is needed to buy medicines, to do tests etc. People who cannot afford that money suffer more. Therefore the government is responsible for this and it should decrease the health care costs so as to make the facilities available to the people mainly in government hospitals.

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.

Hi Friends.

Commercialization of Health care services is the need of the hour.

The plight of the government hospitals is known to everybody. Doctors are not available, medicines are not there, hygiene is in real bad shape (something that should not be at least in hospitals) , there are problems to accommodate of patients and etc. The government hospitals are so much plagued by indiscipline, corruption and other malpractices that only government few hospitals are there which function normally. This in turn result in unnecessary death of patients, dead bodies go missing from morgue, death due to bad hygiene conditions, animals eating dead bodies from morgue and etc.

So like any other sector, the healthcare sector is also in need of the healing touch of commercialization. The private hospitals have a 24 hour availability of doctors, nurses, equipment and medicines. Moreover hygiene and security is also stressed a lot in these hospitals.

However the private hospitals have higher charges for their services as they are driven by profit motive and with about 22% of people still below poverty line, a rightward commercialization will result in deprivation of medical facilities to a major chunk of population. So a private-government partnership should emerge so that the government can regulate the prices of the healthcare services keeping in mind every citizen of India and this will also provide the cushion of government funding to private investors and thereby their profits will also be taken care of.

Good Health care facility is the right of every citizen and the government should do all that it can to ensure it.

Commercialisation definitely has both pros and cons and, it is hard for one to say if commercialisation is a bad or good thing.

If there is commercialisation of health care, there would be betterment of the facilities provided for treating diseases, more hygiene, more care and usage of advanced technology for treatment. So people suffering from severe diseases can also be hopeful of getting rid of their disease.

At the same time, commercialisation also means increase in the cost of treatment which can be afforded only by people living in urban areas. Hospitals would therefore become inaccessible by rural people. Doctors, for profit, may ask for a lot of tests to be done which again cannot be afforded by the poor.

Hello everyone!

This is Neha.

According to me commercialization of health would be a good step towards healthy India. As private hospitals provide much better facilities than the government one. But it must be done under proper supervision so as to ensure honest working of the institution. Also they must be ordered to treat the poor at an easy concession rates.

Thank you!

Hello guys I would like to say according to me commercialization of health is good as we know health is wealth. Government has responsibility to take care of people living in their country. In our country majority of people belong to middle class family and and some of them are below poverty line. So they can't afford private hospital and costly medicines so for them commercialization of health care is must.

And government should participate in this by providing good doctors, good equipment, and generic medicines in government hospital. And their should be a seminar on health and hygiene, how to avoid diseases in slum areas. At last I want to say that according to survey fees of government hospital is low than private hospital so government of country should concentrate on to develop government hospital.

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.

Every thing some pros and con, commercialization of medical services in a country like India according me is good to a certain extent as we are getting better medical facilities, better care in most of the private hospitals. Patient are not required to wander here and there for tests prescribed by the doctors and thereby saving time and money at one point we all will have to agree that if we need best treatment then we will have to go through the tests prescribed by the doctors so that the disease is cured completely. Secondly as compared to other commercialized hospitals around the globe India provides very cheap service.

Well it has some bad effects also the more we go through privatization of the medical services the more will the the doctors attracted to money and there are doctors in India also whose main motto is profit they spend very less time in the government hospital and want to attract patients to their private clinics the greedy doctors are the main virus of many diseases.

So the conclusion is that the govt hospitals should be well maintained both apparatus wise and level of doctors should also be present government Should take care of that. Infact we the people of India we only make the government The largest democratic country. Why can't we help in developing the govt hospitals we should take care that if the doctors are spending the time allotted to them at the hospital or not whether the stuffs needed for treatments are available or not there are complain no. Available in every government Hospitals we can complain this cannot be done by single people we all will have to work for it. Lets hope something better comes out.

Hi,

In my point of view commercialization of health care is not at all good, curing people should have humanity, money should not come in between curing of poor people, specially in India. As we know approximately 75% of Indian family is middle class family so they can not afford high charge of hospitals. And approximately 40% of people can not effort hospital charge at all because they live in below poverty line, and those 75% of people generally need more health care than rich people just because of their standard of life. They consumes less quality product due to their low income which directly affect their health and number of those people is very high in India. So commercialization of health care is not good, that's all.
