Commercialization of Health Care: Good or Bad?

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.

Hi.

I am Suresh.

Firstly Commercialization in the health sector is not a good thing for everyone. No one should want to give the huge amount of many for small treatment. But it regularly occurs in a private sector. As we consider a pregnant lady, she is afraid & wants or proper treatment but actually it does not happen we can see from last 2-4 years rate of normal delivery reduced in many folds. The private sector only provides hygiene & infrastructure but not actual service what we should expect from them. Gov hospital is lack of hygiene & infrastructure. It may be due to lack of Gov. hospital in the city. It's usually a single one. As the public demand is high it's not sufficient to work efficiently. So Gov. must be taken into consideration this view also & must have to increase host & hygiene. So it's just like as we said a "make in India." everyone should say, "let's go for gov hospital only".

Hi everyone,

In my view commercialization of health care has both advantages and disadvantages. We all are well aware of the condition of government hospitals, we find unhygienic environment, unavailability of doctors, there is nobody to take care immediately in cases of accidents and serious injuries, there is lack of infrastructure so the people have no choice except for visiting private hospitals and there we find proper infrastructure and proper health care facilities but they charge a huge amount for the treatment so what is the solution for the poor where they can get proper treatment?

The only solution I strongly feel is that government should come forward and take immediate action in this regard by collaborating with these health care units and provide equal treatment to all the sections of society at reasonable rates and in the meanwhile should check that there should be no compromise in the health of the people.

Dear all,

I want to focus on very important and hot issue of doctors and hospitals management who creates a false critical situation.

So many hospitals are playing with newborn babies, like slow heart beating of baby and his mother. Etc.

So many times they all are making a drama before hand over a baby to his parents.

Trained nurses create a panic situation like (OOOH!!! BABY HEART BEAT IS VERY SLOW) and she immediate transfer to ICU.

And every buddy feels panic if they listen to a name of ICU.

And doctors get big benefits of this situation and charge a money and rent of ICU and oxygen and injections.

Hello.

Today a lot of commercial health care franchises are coming up in India. The only reason for this is ignorance of government towards public healthcare. Today, if we go to a public/government hospital, we do not see a lot of infrastructures, sanitation, effective management system and efficient usage of resources. All we see is frustration on faces of patients and tensed doctors and nurses. So I strongly feel that commercialization of healthcare is not good. Instead, the government should implement some strict policies so as to ensure that all the facilities, comfort and medical attention that is being provided in the commercial healthcare facility is available in public/government hospitals at a lower cost. I feel that the government shout makes allies with commercial healthcare facilities and come up with a productive solution which would be useful to both rich and poor in India. Because today if we see, a lot of people when ill turn towards commercial healthcare facility and pay a huge fee for the luxurious rooms, lavish lobbies, AC halls and cozy beds. No doubt they have the latest equipment and highly qualified doctors but it all comes for a price which a common or poor person cannot afford. So if the government make allies with these healthcare giants, these equipment and doctors will be available in public/government hospitals also so that everyone can prevail the advantage of healthcare.

I think people want commercialization in health care just because they feel government hospitals are not providing sufficient care to the patient and less cleanness. So, by looking into these facts I think the main problem is in the IMPLEMENTATION of the rule in the government sector. So, why are we running from our responsibilities. And private hospitals are costly just because they are spending money to buy new and advanced machines from OTHER countries. Therefore, if we start manufacturing these machines in INDIA itself, then surely they charge less, so that the common people can afford treatment there. SO, even if want COMMERCIALIZATION in health care first we need to take care of our responsibilities, we are the second largest country, therefore we need to manufacture these machines to make our TREATMENT cheaper.

It is a very good discussion, I have ever seen in my life these guys are doing better so I'm so impressed with these guys.

I like to express commercialization in health care is good because we have seen many privatisation and hospital are treating the patients well and atmosphere of the hospital is also good when compare to government hospital.

We can see in social media commenting many issues and complain because doctor are paid if their work is not completed also government is paying money when comes to privatisation it is different case doctors are paid for their work.

Government must take an initiative to came commercialization it also leads to development of INDIA and it must be reasonable facility to all classes of society.

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!

Well, according to me commercialization/privatization of health sector is good but commercialization doesn't mean that the private hospital should be allowed to cut the pocket of common people on their own will. There should be regular check by competent authority like Medical Council of India (MCI). By commercialization people will get better health care and hygiene.
