Hi this is Samiksha.
I have read above all the opinions n also they are quite satisfying but I just wanted to say that Why always when there is talk about the commercial disaster the only example remain there is INDIA. I know that it may be not a developed country but in the field of medical lots of improvement has been done by INDIA. And I too think that commercialization of medicine would be regarded as the blessing for the whole nation.
If we talk about the poverty which is faced by the people while giving the fees of the private hospitals, so for that there is the phrase in Hindi that is, "Sar Salamat to Pagdi pachas". In today's world life is the important component n we have to life it not for ourselves or family but also for the nation. Poverty is not only the main reason for not supporting the commercialization of medical sciences but also less awareness about its benefits.

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.

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.

Friend,
Complete privatization is not the solution of health care problems in India.
I don't think that it is better to eliminate the government hospitals instead of modifying the systems going on with health care. Duty of doctors should be watched and they must do their duty well. For elimination of interruption and inconvenience we must take help of private investment and private employees.

Hi friends, I am going to discuss my point of view about commercialization about health care in India. We all know that India is a developing country and here lots of people are so pure and they can't afford their food twice in a day. In India when a man have a serious problem about health he become afraid about the money.
Here money is a big problem. We think in our country there is less number of doctor but it also true that doctors are no enough. These doctors are going to privet sector for money. No one think about common people.
In government hospital patient are treated like an animal. There is no good doctor. Patient are helpless. In these situation if we all agree for commercialization of health care common people will be died like animal. Because they can't afford the charge of privet hospital.
So I think government should take a step for life of common people.

Hi dude.
My opinion is that the commercialization is good as well as bad. Because the people need good health to live in this world. Its very important that "LIFE IS ONCE, IT CANT COME AGAIN OR WE CANT BORN AGAIN". So we need good infrastructure to provide facilities to take treatment. It is applicable in the private sector and they treat the people good only by seeing the money which they afford.
The person "LIFE IS NOT AN PRODUCT TO BUY OR SELL", so private sector can also take effort to keep free medical camp as well as free treatment to the 60% of the middle & poor people in all over the country.
But in GOVERNMENT hospitals there is no such infrastructure to take treatment for harmful disease. Nowadays, in this sector also the doctors, staffs in the hospitals are going towards the price to take a treatment or to safe one persons life. So this issues should need to be reduced. And the government should come forward to take better decision to solve this problem.
I would like to conclude that the government should involve and have a good dealership among private hospitals to provide better infrastructure to save the people. And the government should put the order that all private sector should provide treatment to the people with low cost or keep free camp atleast twice a month.
It can definitely provide better infrastructure all over the world. And people can decide to go government as well as private sector for their further treatment. Because people think that "DOCTOR'S ARE BORN TO SAVE OTHERS LIFE. TREATED AS GOD. ".

Commercialization of health care must be taken in a positive way. We all know the current situation of facilities in government run hospital a poor man get. If we have different health insurance companies providing a variety of plans, health care becomes easy and less suffering for a common man. Due to this commercialization of health care, today we have so many options for health care & for covering health expenses. Nowadays, we can do all the stuff online without meeting different agents/brokers.

According to my opinion commercialization of health is not good for a country like India. We know that India is a developing nation and most of the people are comes under BPL line. These poor people can't afford the large price of health services. Most of the common people depends GOVT hospital for treatment.
But the condition of most the GOVT hospital is very poor. We have to improve the quality of services provided by GOVT hospitals. There by we can increases our nations income and also provide good services at cheap price to common people in our country.

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.

Good evening friends.
Health care is the place where people come for treatment. So the health care should be neat and clean. Now there are three different types of family live in India-the rich family, the middle class family and the poor family. In India the 2nd and 3rd group amounts to almost 80%. For the first group its not difficult to go for private medication. The problem comes when we talk about 2nd and 3rd group. They just can afford to go for costly medication of private health care.
There are some benefits of commercialization of health care. They are.
1. Good sanitation.
2. Proper treatment.
3. Doctors on duty would always be there for the patients unlike gov hospitals.
Now if we look at the other side of the coin the situation is entirely different.
1. Private sector may charge the cost of medicine at their own will.
2. They may charge lots of money for treatment for a particular disease which might be provided at free of cost in the gov health care.
3. As I have said that middle and lower class family in India amounts to 80% in India who can't afford costly medication. It would be like a dream for those people to get their disease treated without money. Many people may die without treatment.
So I want to conclude that although commercialization of health centre has advantages but it has would have major problem with regard to the Indian population. So I would suggest to make our govt health care better by properly utilizing gov funds allotted for it instead of commercialization of health centre.
Thank you.
