According to me, I want to focus on very important and not issue of doctors and hospitals management who creates a false critical situation. So many times they all are making a drama before hand over a baby to his parents. And every buddy fells 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 injection.

Everything now becomes a business. Marketing strategy in medicines causes a poor. Infrastructure in govt hospitals is very poor. So, private takes it as advantage earning huge. High-class peoples spend a lot of money for health care. But, pours only way is govt hospitals. The increase of private hospitals leads to commercial business. So, govt should take action to improve the govt hospital standard and quality of lives.

In my opinion commercialisation of health care is not good for all. Those people who are higher in money they are going to treat in a good hospitals. What about the middle class and poor people where they have to treat themselves they will not at all thinking about higher hospitals they go through govt hospitals as well as lower hospitals sometimes they get well treatment and sometimes they not. So in my suggestion govt should provide well experience doctors and good maintenance and cleanliness of govt hospitals then all of us will get a better treatment no need to worry about money and health.

Commercialization improves knowledge among public about the products in the industry, how the industry is improving etc. However, it increases the ad expenses, therefore, increasing the cost of medicines making it expensive to afford. It is a 50-50 for the poor and Middle class but advantageous to the rich. Government hospitals must help the lower classes and commercialization of healthcare is beneficial for all.

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.

In my opinion, commercialization is good for health care. It's due to in private hospital you will get more facility rather than government hospital. Now I am talking about what Indian government did on the field of a government hospital. They have done tremendous work to improve the facility of government hospital but as I know India is the 2nd largest country according to the population. So whatever government is doing that is not fruitful to us. So if commercialization is not happened then rich as well as poor family will face many problems in healthcare.

Private hospitals have the most modern and sophisticated medical equipment, that last for a long time. Government hospitals also have good equipment, but since they are used more as compared to private hospitals, so they are prone to get damaged.

Number of Patients per Doctor is higher in government hospitals, as a result the Patients don't get Proper treatment. It is also exhausting for the doctor to treat so many Patients, so he is not able to treat treatment properly.

When it comes to health care our main concern should be it\'s accessibility to the poor and needy. We need to make sure that they are able to avail them. If we commercialise it then that might become impossible because commercial sector\'s ultimate objective is to make a profit.

Surely we need better facilities but commercialisation is not the solution we are looking for. We need to see where most of our funds are going, as per studies most of it is spent importing medical equipment, so we need to make efforts to produce them locally. Our PM\'s Make in India initiative is the right step in this direction and it should focus more on this field. In my opinion what we need is better utilization of funds.

In nutshell Commercialisation of health care is bad for India.

According to me the private hospital sector does more commercialization compared to government sector government trying hard to maintain the quality but still it's impossible according to me there should be a union or bonding should be made from government side so that there should be no misguiding or no profit can me made more this lead to lowering of corruption and mass load on a single branch there should be a collateral and support thinking should be made between 2 sectors this would lead to increase the quality and decrease in medically unstable ratio.
