Commercialization of Health Care: Good or Bad?

Hello Friends,

We all know that there are many people in India belonging to below poverty line & generally poor people gets affect very much from many diseases due to lack of health care. They are not able to care about their health properly due to their financial problem. So India requires better healthcare system mainly for poor people because it is greatly used by them. Although Government hospital does not provide services properly yet it is a great help to poor people. So friends I would like to promote improvement in Government policies and services rather than commercialization of healthcare. Because a person fights for daily usable things can not even think about high medical facilities.

I would like to open the discussion by stating that healthcare is a basic right of each and every citizen. This is regardless of his or her economic or social status. Every person in every part of this country has aright to access affordable and quality healthcare. Adding price tags to diagnostics and treatment has led to mushrooming of private hospitals which exist only for their profits. They compromise with the standard of patient care in order to inflate their profit margins. They also conduct unnecessary diagnostic tests to raise the treatment cost. Ultimately the common man of this country suffers. I strongly feel that commercialization of healthcare is bad. It should be abolished.

Hello everyone, in my point of view, education and healthcare is the most basic requirements and everyone has a right to the above said so if we commercialize healthcare poor people won't get benefitted from this instead of commercializing we can ask govt to improve the conditions in govt hospitals and to strictly follow some rules and to implement some regular inspection so that the quality remains high with affordable price.

Private hospitals are all profit oriented and they don't really care about patients the unnecessarily add some tests and extra medicines for their own profit and us common people are the sufferer, so commercialization of health care is bad in my point of view.

Hi friends,

In my view health care should not be commercialised. There is development in hospital, nursing home India. This is the result of huge development of science in India. But the people under BPL are not getting medical facilities.

Government should take care of that. Government should make new policies and to implement those policies which will result in proper medical treatment of the poor people.

Nowadays, doctors are becoming greedy. They don't pay attention to public medical center, rural areas. They concentrates on their clinic, private hospitals, nursing homes. So, to avoid these government should see whether doctors are doing their duties well or not.

Thank you.

Commercialization is not completely bad, it is because we can get timely and quality service in the commercialized hospital.

Yes, it is true that the cost of service is high but our life is more important than the cost of medicine. When we visit the public hospitals we have to wait for at least few days to get just an x-ray, but it is quick and convenient to commercial hospitals.

For poor people, it is difficult to go in such hospitals, so government must make and implement strict rules and regulations in order to provide the service at low cost to the poor ones.

Finally, commercialization is good when it is done with proper rules to provide facilities to the backward people.

Commercialization is way to increase the profit of the one, so on applying the commercialization on the health makes bed effect just because by applying the commercialization the doctor always thinks about their profit that makes the poor guys in trouble those are unable to pay money for their cure many times the poor guys are scarifies with their health just because of the high rate for the treatment this came due to doctor invest their money in commercialization for increasing the profit and they recollect their money by the people that could make the commercialization bad but it would be good when it will use in research process for finding the different way for the disease.

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.

I can hopefully say that commercialization is one of the better way to develop the country in terms of economy, technology and growth rate in terms of health. As there is a boon for the new technology and well equipment's used in the new emerging private hospitals, of-course we need to pay but this is better when compared with going to the foreign countries. On the other hand to serve the poor the government is developing the hospitals in its best. Finally what I would like to say is if we start these kind of processes looking at the poor the status of the country will be same saying INDIA will always be a developing and poor country.

THANK YOU.

Hi friend I am Chandan singh I want to discuss above topic.

Commercialization of health care good or bad so firstly I want to shows what the reason? why the.

Commercialization so important because in gov hospital doctors are not properly work because they become lazy they doesn't care about rule they all have their private hospital also there they work properly and In Private hospital rules are very strict and all doctors follows the rule properly.

And In private hospital they used advanced technology equipment's which is not gov hospital.

But other views gov hospital are low pricing but in private hospital pricing is not low.

Commercialization of health care.

Pros : Competition, facilities will improve. Even govt hospitals can come out of the present state.
Education : More competent doctors.
R and D : Need for better medicinal solutions, alternative products.
Tie-ups : Insurance, pharmacy companies tie up with hospitals, provide better products.
Affordability : a Poor class cannot afford.
Corporate greed : Unnecessary pricing. Not illness based. Same price for simple cold or TB. 700rs.
Politics : Substandard alternatives provided by politicians.

Commercialization is welcome. But moderated. Supervised. Pricing etc. To be regulated to an extent.
