Commercialization of Health Care: Good or Bad?

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.

According to me commercialization of health care is the need of the hour because of poor governance of the government the condition in all the sectors such as telecommunications, transportation, electricity is worse and because of changes in the life style of people with full of stress without commercialization we can't not expect good health services and new studies cannot be carried out without the help of MNC operating.

Those who are pointing put the position of poor people government should come forward with some schemes where in the treatment will be provided at some subsidy offered so that the quality does not degrade.

So to conclude the topic completely eradication of anything is not a solution rather opportunities should be welcomed.

Hi friends,

I want to share my view about health care. "Health of a Citizen is the Wealth of the country" this proverb says health is the greatest asset of the country. Healthy people and Healthy environment supports in developing Healthy Wealthy country.

In the country government is fulfilling some or the other ways, by providing schemes, the basic needs for food, clothing, shelter. But in healthcare system government, is not totally successful in helping for every man need. Because of commercialization of private hospitals and other.

If every one wants to see the Healthy and wealthy country. Today please take an oath for improve the systems and make bright country in the world. Friends "one oath a small change starts. ".

Thank you.

It has both advantages and disadvantages. Advantages because it helps in the growth of the nation and the growth rate of population increase technological advancement would be also done in India. Experienced doctors who have already retired can be employed again which helps them also in monetary terms. In case of emergency private hospitals are of great help because govt hospitals are always crowded and in case of an emergency we also can't wait. Private hospitals also give better service than the govt ones as they charge a higher amount of money. Commercialization should be done in a way that middle-class people can also afford the services and should not be so high priced that the poor and middle class won't be able to afford.

Hi,

In my point of view commercialization of health care is not at all good, curing people should have humanity, money should not come in between curing of poor people, specially in India. As we know approximately 75% of Indian family is middle class family so they can not afford high charge of hospitals. And approximately 40% of people can not effort hospital charge at all because they live in below poverty line, and those 75% of people generally need more health care than rich people just because of their standard of life. They consumes less quality product due to their low income which directly affect their health and number of those people is very high in India. So commercialization of health care is not good, that's all.

Hi Friends, I would like present my views on this interesting topic. According to me Everything has pros and cons. Same with this. In private hospitals who can afford will get very good treatment and facility. For them they are very good for them they will get all facility on single place. They don't have wander here and there to get things prescribed by doctor. Even doctor will give full attention to the patients.

Similarly on the other hand India is developing country more than 40% people are living below poverty line. They can't afford private hospital and their facility. In short we should make balance between two although poor will also get benefit from private hospital. Only government can do help in this case.

Commercialization is not a solution for the healthcare, why because after unseen god we believe the second and seen god is DOCTOR.

Doctors studied their course as they have to do service to a society, Now we are in the generation that everyone wants conveyance irrespective of Rich & Poor. But yes Rich can afford it easily but in the case of poor, we see very rarely he/she choose private hospitals.

I would like to say which ever the technology we trying to add for the treatment in private hospitals, Install a same equipment in the government hospitals and maintain some hygiene and neat, then it's far better than going to the private one.

I conclude my point by saying commercialization of healthcare is not good.

Commercialisation definitely has both pros and cons and, it is hard for one to say if commercialisation is a bad or good thing.

If there is commercialisation of health care, there would be betterment of the facilities provided for treating diseases, more hygiene, more care and usage of advanced technology for treatment. So people suffering from severe diseases can also be hopeful of getting rid of their disease.

At the same time, commercialisation also means increase in the cost of treatment which can be afforded only by people living in urban areas. Hospitals would therefore become inaccessible by rural people. Doctors, for profit, may ask for a lot of tests to be done which again cannot be afforded by the poor.

Well, I would like to start by using an idiom that fits perfectly into this situation i.e. there are two sides of the same coin. Commercialization of health care brings with it its advantages and disadvantages and any of them can't be ignored. Let us start with the advantages :

Advantages :

1) Better equipments.
2) Better overall services (sanitation etc).
3) Promotes medical tourism.
4) Better prospects for doctors.

Disadvantages :

1) Attributing to higher medical costs that too in a poor country like India.
2) Quality of doctors is uncertain.
3) May give rise to scams and scandals.

So to conclude and going by the pros and cons of the commercialization, I guess, we can't decide whether it is boon or bane.

Hey Guys,

In India, recently we have seen the growth of speciality hospitals, nursing homes with sky scraper buildings. Even people from abroad come here for treatment. New hospitals with all facilities, modern equipments and trained doctors and nurses have emerged as a result of the growth of medical science but the sad part is that it was once a service oriented industry but now it is a money making profession. Many people are unable to get the benefit of such hospitals because of poverty and non affordability. Doctors refuse to serve the rural people and the public health centres in the rural areas are not effective.

It is time for the government and people to join hand and eradicate the shortcomings.
