Commercialization of Health Care: Good or Bad?

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.

In my opinion commercialisation of health care is not good for all. Those people who are higher in money they are going to treat in a good hospitals. What about the middle class and poor people where they have to treat themselves they will not at all thinking about higher hospitals they go through govt hospitals as well as lower hospitals sometimes they get well treatment and sometimes they not. So in my suggestion govt should provide well experience doctors and good maintenance and cleanliness of govt hospitals then all of us will get a better treatment no need to worry about money and health.

Hi.

In my point of view, commercialization is not good for us. We know the infrastructure of government hospital is not well and in private hospital, there is available everything but common people can't afford expenses of this hospital. Generally, I look manly doctor of gov. Hospital opens his own clinic for earn more money. Somewhere doctor and pharmacy both are connected to each other plays game with people. Innocent people are making fool. This all things are the part of commercialization. No one thinks about patient.

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.

Hi !

We all know that in our India, a common person is facing many problems regarding health but dear if we all have the same thinking then we should make up our minds to become a best doctor, whether we are in government or private sector.

We have to stop a government doctor if he or she is behaving rude to patient and tell to be at least a human being.

DO GOOD TO EVERYONE.

In my point of view commercialization of healthcare in India is not at all good for our people. Before commercializing the system we should first implement the new policies which will raise benefits to the BPL people. One disease in a family is enough to tilt economical position. Government motto is providing the all facilities for every common man in India but it can be achieved only when we execute the policies well. Current India is spending only 3% of its GDP for Health Care development and because of corruption some of money is going into healthcare providers.

"Eat an apple for day keeps doctor away" how many are ready now in our country to buy at least an apple for a week, we should keep in mind that if we commercialize the healthcare system we may get better facilities, quality of treatment, getting rid of diseases but at a time we can see BPL people with diseases on roadsides.

Hi friends,

Commercialisation is good but some provisions should be made there for, poor people, common people, who must be facilitated financially. These provisions may be provided to BPL cardholders, persons having low annual salary, and others like these people.

Today's scenario of government hospital is very poor, and doctors do not work as per they receive salary, they focus more at their personal clinic. Sanitation problems also persist in government hospitals. Commercialisation facilitates these basic things, and after sometime competitiveness might lower the per head spending.

Government should also arrange some arrangement for the poor to help financially for medicines, government may do so by hampering pharmaceutical companies to do so, might be by providing subsidy for medicines etc.

Thank you.

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.

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.

Friends I would like to through some light on the current problems we are facing and then get to commercialization.

Rather than focusing on commercialization, our govt should try to elevate the existing facilities provided in the govt hospitals. Adequate remuneration to govt doctors as I have seen these doctors devote less than the required (scheduled) time and instead spend more on their private clinical visits.

If this can be stopped it will be good for poor people of India.

And then commercialization will open a market of healthy competition.

Straightaway commercialization will definitely bring technology but will increase the cost as well and do no good for the poor.

For the middle and upper class, they do not face this problem adversely.
