Commercialization of Health Care: Good or Bad?

Commercialisation of health care is definitely going to be a better solution only if restricted under some rules &regulation. More than 1000 peoples are dying daily due to the lack of facilities in government hospitals. Ultimately the person has to go for private sectors. So if there are no private sectors available then it's going to be hazardous for masses. Private sectors provide good facilities and proper treatment but are however costlier than the government hospitals. So government must look into these matters and should formulate a better policy so that one can get treatment at a reasonable price. At the same time, government should take care of existing government hospitals whether they are functioning well or not. Doctors working there generally open their own private hospital to earn more money. So there should be a regular basis check on them. Nothing is much worth than a life so according to me commercialization is good n at the same time necessary for the healthcare of individuals.

Dear all,

I want to focus on very important and hot issue of doctors and hospitals management who creates a false critical situation.

So many hospitals are playing with newborn babies, like slow heart beating of baby and his mother. Etc.

So many times they all are making a drama before hand over a baby to his parents.

Trained nurses create a panic situation like (OOOH!!! BABY HEART BEAT IS VERY SLOW) and she immediate transfer to ICU.

And every buddy feels panic if they listen to a name of ICU.

And doctors get big benefits of this situation and charge a money and rent of ICU and oxygen and injections.

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.

Hello Everyone,

In my point of view considering India, Disease is not caused by germs rather many factors play very important role like education, gender, poverty, living condition, water, sanitation, hygiene, accessibility of health care facility, availability of health care facility, quality human resource etc. So making commercialization of health care not solve problem of health of people. Many disparity we can seen rural and urban difference, religion, caste so first we should look basic socio-economic problem.

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.

We know that health is wealth of every living creature, so the important of health care facility is inevitable fact that we might accept to grow its wings, however, its commercialization has bad impacts to the large extent that good ones. As health care is service orient sector rather than the profit motive, if the people do business in the name of health care service, they always think about plus and minus and gain and loss which is results cause disaster rather than support to cure the ill person. We recently have been hearing about different news about casualty because of an irresponsible commercial health worker who only focuses on making money rather than solving the human health problems. We often heard about charging the heavy bill to even common cold victims with the name of different test which even not relevant to his/her illness. Such the ill-mindedness can be burn if we give priority in the commercialization of health care sector. Though it creates easy access to health facility but ultimately affects negatively since health care is purely a service sector, not the trade or commerce, so I strongly oppose this.

Commercialization of health care is not at all acceptable as it leads to money laundering through doctors and makes the wealth concentrated in the hands of the branded health care service providers. It hones the skills to tap the unlimited opportunities it gets by providing health care for higher rates thus making these institutions the "money foxes." Privatization can lead to dominate the health care sector by showing its monopoly nature and makes the service of health care availability for poorer a mirage. It squeezes the money for their wealth hunger from the poor. Though quality is a positive side of commercialization of health care; it doesn't mean it will always deliver the right service for the innocent people. It may further lead to black marketing of blood, organs and other medically valuable parts from the patients who cannot raise their voice if anything happens against them. Medical scams are a possibility if the health care commercialization takes place, leaving no space for poorer to avail the opportunity of getting best health care services.

Commercialization of health care with proper involvement of government in fixing the costs and administering the facilities, services offered with periodic monitoring can be a conclusion that can be achieved on commercialization of health care.

God has never discriminated anybody in the matter of their life and death. Nobody whether rich or poor has no control on his birth and death then why do we try to create a gap when it comes to health. When the price of life of equal for everybody then why do poor have to suffer when it comes to health?

I believe the commercialization of health is wrong in this respect when a person could not be cured on financial grounds. I agree that medical procedures, tests and operations are very costly but it could over-weigh a persons life.

To solve this I think government could do something and it has already done few things like free medical help to poor people. But the problem is how many of the people are benefited by this help?

I think there is a need to re think on this problem. Government should either make appropriate infrastructure and facilities so that the poor people do not have to suffer on their health or should make some provisions so that high specialty hospitals private hospitals do provide some help to them.

Hello friends.

In my opinion, commercialization of health care is not good.

That's true that the commercialization improves the techniques and treatment, also provides good facilities to the patients, but that also true that it increases the prices of the treatment and medicines. And it becomes unaffordable to the middle class or poor people to get the treatment from such hospitals. And because of the private hospitals or clinics, the condition of government hospitals is getting bad.

Most of the time, there is no doctor because they are in their private clinics, or if they are there, then they don't give much time to the patient and want them to come to their clinic. It is ok for the rich people, but a middle class family cannot afford this and therefore they have to compromise with their health.

But since, it is more profitable to the doctors, therefore, the doctors prefer to give the time to their private clinics that leads to the decrement in the government hospitals.

So, my suggestion is this that the government should take care of the government hospitals with better facilities and good medical treatment instead of increasing the private sectors so that both the rich as wall as the poor people could get the better medical care.

Commercialization of health has its own pros and cons. There are several schemes provided by the government for poor people. But they are limited only to some diseases. The remaining can be cured only from private hospitals. They are saving someones life but are afforded by a few. SO if government takes step and extend its services, many of the poor will be benefited. This happens only if the government takes care of its people rather than its posts.
