Commercialization of Health Care: Good or Bad?

I think commercialization of healthcare in India is good for the medical service purpose, because if we see the government healthcare and hospitals, the infrastructure is very bad mostly in the rural areas. Peoples are dying everyday because of poor and wrong treatment. So, if we commercialize our healthcare service and the government control the supply of medicines that could be a change in the healthcare services and it should be helpful for the rural people of our country.

Hi my dear ones,

In my point of view commercialization of healthcare means to give the responsibilities belongs to healthcare like hospitals, doctors, medicines. Whenever the responsibilities goes to people who are not working under government are show their efficiency in better ways because they get some fee for their work but this is not correct at all time because some time they won't be, reason is their negligence. If commercialization of healthcare happen then it is not be appreciated by people who are belongs to under middle class or people belongs to poverty. So, finally am concluded commercialization of healthcare is good when the government make some rules and then to do them in practice like investing more money than the need.

Thank you.

Commercialization should be done in India. Seeing the condition of government hospitals and the type of treatment provided, these hospitals should be handed to private companies but with certain condition. People below poverty line should be given a subsidized treatment. People from above categories should be charged. Govt should have a strict influence on these hospitals.

Commercialization is a good thing, it should be taken care for providing a good and hygienic treatment for the people. Even though some people who are in a position to do, but few people neglect in order to earn profit from their private clinics. Often government has taken many steps to improve but still there are an issue to overcome it. Government should make changes in their working progress. Government employees should be sincere in their work who are in a part of caring people life. Standard and quality supply of medicines should be provided by the government.

Obviously it is one of good thing in India. Because even you have to pay more in clinics but kind of attention and treatment you get is much better than that of in government clinics. And cleanliness in environment is also an issue.

Nurses as well as doctors in government clinics or hospitals are not much skilled or professional as in private hospitals.

Staff in government hospitals do not treat their patients in good way which they are suppose to be but such thing does not happen in private hospitals or clinics.

So obviously commercialization of health care is good.

Commercialisation means that the main motive is profit, we should not be surprised when we are asked to pay hefty private hospital bills. Rather, the question that should be asked is what about the that section of population which cannot afford to pay such huge amount. For them, commercialisation is of no use. They are dependent on the government hospitals but unfortunately these cannot provide the desired services and which are responsible for the reason why commercialisation of health care has come up.

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.

Private hospitals billing a lot because they works on the motive of profit. They may prefer unnecessary treatments. If there is public health center people can protected from this.

Large number of people are below poverty line. They also have to get proper treatment. For this reasons health care system can not privatised.

The need of commercialization has arisen because of poor healthcare facilities provided by the government hospitals. Indian government makes lots of promises to improve the standard of the government hospital in every 5 year plan but in actual only 20% of expenditure is done on healthcare in public sector in India unlike 95% in sweden, 44% in USA. The hygiene, availability of doctors, conditions of washroom, water supply and food supply to the patient is poor. Therefore people prefer to switch to the private hospitals.

Doctors spend lots and lots of money to get the degree and knowledge of their course so they can take reasonable money from their patients to run their hospitals so that 24 hours medicine, food, water, doctor facilities can be provided to them.

Therefore at last I would like to conclude that there is a benefit of commercialization, government should increase the government hospitals standard and send proper regulatory authorities to check the conditions of the hospital time to time, regulatory guidelines should be made for both private and public funded hospitals. A dialog can also be provided by the healthcare authority to think on the need to look a hospital like a 5 star hotel, expensive medicinal equipments which are not really required.

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.
