Commercialization of Health Care: Good or Bad?

I believe that commercialization of health care is highly dangerous cos there are many consequences wherein the humanity need to face with. According to the present scenario, commercialization has increased tremendously to vast extent that no one could ever stop from doing it when we turn to the people who're being commercialised in medical care. They're bothered only about their own profit and they look after from their own perspectives. People of this era in the medical field are least bothered about the health of the people who have been afflicted with some ailment. They never care about nothing rather than money. They tend to consume more amount of money than that is afforded for patients treatment. For an instance Members who have been working in the medical sector are making use of normal people in the society claiming that the patient has to undergo particular treatment or surgery only for the sake of grabbing more money from people though the treatment and surgery for the patients are not required in reality I think that the commercialization in medical sector is limited only to some extent. So I conclude by saying that commercialization in the present in medical care is bad according to the present scenario.

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.

Its a very famous saying "money can buy anything". Even emotions, pleasures, joy etc. Can be bought in this materialistic world. But when it comes to health we can't deny the fact that it is completely dependent on the money factor. A rich person gets every accommodation only because he can afford it but on the other hand poor person starves even for a good diet and getting higher medical facilities is something what he can't even think of.

As far as commercialization of health sector is concerned; without moving to the extreme yes or no some middle ways are also there. For example, some of the hospitals in Delhi get privatized after 3 o'clock. And people have to pay only 60% of the total fee and rest 40%are used as fund, medication, insurance etc. And hence through this way poor get served in the similar way as the rich do. What I feel that this technique will not harm any of the humankind.

Further lets have a look on the expenses made in the field. Only 1.2%is spent on health sector. At least 2.5% should be spent in this sector in order to make some fruitful change in the sector and to enhance the quality and make it reasonable for every class.

Commercialization of health cares in a country like India where most of the population falls between the two classes lower class and middle class, it can't be be said as good in my opinion.

Government pays a lots and lots of funds on students who become doctors. It costs up to 2 crores for Indian govt to make a student pursue MBBS course from a government medical college. And thereafter if these doctors start their own hospitals or clinics and work in a privately owned health care organization. So due to this a poor person can't afford good health care by a qualified doctor.

He has to visit to all those practitioners who were once a compounder with a doctor but now have opened their own clinics or to the govt hospitals where there are no doctors available because those doctors inspite of having a gazetted officer govt job have opened their own clinics where they charge the same poor guy a 100 times what they have to pay in an govt hospital.

Also govt is wasting its money in building such doctors and also a common poor man in India is not able to get proper health care facilities. This needs to be changed in my opinion.

We know that health is wealth of every living creature, so the important of health care facility is inevitable fact that we might accept to grow its wings, however, its commercialization has bad impacts to the large extent that good ones. As health care is service orient sector rather than the profit motive, if the people do business in the name of health care service, they always think about plus and minus and gain and loss which is results cause disaster rather than support to cure the ill person. We recently have been hearing about different news about casualty because of an irresponsible commercial health worker who only focuses on making money rather than solving the human health problems. We often heard about charging the heavy bill to even common cold victims with the name of different test which even not relevant to his/her illness. Such the ill-mindedness can be burn if we give priority in the commercialization of health care sector. Though it creates easy access to health facility but ultimately affects negatively since health care is purely a service sector, not the trade or commerce, so I strongly oppose this.

According to me, Instead of Commercialisation in health care Commercialisation in medicines should be banned. As India is the second largest country in the world, Our government, Jagat Prakash Nadda, who have responsibility for Health and family welfare should adopt some techniques to tie up with the current commercialized private hospitals and provide facilities more efficiently.

The government must improve the structure of Indian govt hospitals, Cleanliness, Proper Sanitation, infrastructures, Awareness, Some proper working of Regulatory boards, these are the things which we need to implement into our govt hospitals to change the image made to everyone. There must be free camps including private hospitals. In India, if a person can afford the doctor's fee after then he will die after a look at the medication cost. There must be special funds for medication, free medicined provided to customers or Pharmacies industries should be introduced to reduce the cost of medicines.

There must be a special regulatory board for checking out proper functioning of the industries. And lead our plan to success.

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.

God has never discriminated anybody in the matter of their life and death. Nobody whether rich or poor has no control on his birth and death then why do we try to create a gap when it comes to health. When the price of life of equal for everybody then why do poor have to suffer when it comes to health?

I believe the commercialization of health is wrong in this respect when a person could not be cured on financial grounds. I agree that medical procedures, tests and operations are very costly but it could over-weigh a persons life.

To solve this I think government could do something and it has already done few things like free medical help to poor people. But the problem is how many of the people are benefited by this help?

I think there is a need to re think on this problem. Government should either make appropriate infrastructure and facilities so that the poor people do not have to suffer on their health or should make some provisions so that high specialty hospitals private hospitals do provide some help to them.

Commercialisation of health care is definitely going to be a better solution only if restricted under some rules &regulation. More than 1000 peoples are dying daily due to the lack of facilities in government hospitals. Ultimately the person has to go for private sectors. So if there are no private sectors available then it's going to be hazardous for masses. Private sectors provide good facilities and proper treatment but are however costlier than the government hospitals. So government must look into these matters and should formulate a better policy so that one can get treatment at a reasonable price. At the same time, government should take care of existing government hospitals whether they are functioning well or not. Doctors working there generally open their own private hospital to earn more money. So there should be a regular basis check on them. Nothing is much worth than a life so according to me commercialization is good n at the same time necessary for the healthcare of individuals.

In my opinion, commercialization of healthcare is good but at the same time it causes a lot of problems in our country in which people can't afford the expensive medicinal facilities.

Commercialization results in price rise of medicines, increase cost of diagnosis, out of afford of poor peoples. But at the same time it increases the quality of treatment, provide hygiene conditions. So commercialization should be stressed in the urban areas where the people have money.

But in my opinion it should we have lack of systemization of the existing facilities rather than the lack of effort in medicinal investment. There are policies which is present but is not implemented in reality, like in government hospitals free medicines have to be distributed, but it is sold by the chemist there or are not in stock, so people have to buy it from outside, some hygienic condition as well as a supervisory body to inspect or regulate the system should be adopted in the government Hospitals.
