According to me, Instead of Commercialisation in health care Commercialisation in medicines should be banned. As India is the second largest country in the world, Our government, Jagat Prakash Nadda, who have responsibility for Health and family welfare should adopt some techniques to tie up with the current commercialized private hospitals and provide facilities more efficiently.

The government must improve the structure of Indian govt hospitals, Cleanliness, Proper Sanitation, infrastructures, Awareness, Some proper working of Regulatory boards, these are the things which we need to implement into our govt hospitals to change the image made to everyone. There must be free camps including private hospitals. In India, if a person can afford the doctor's fee after then he will die after a look at the medication cost. There must be special funds for medication, free medicined provided to customers or Pharmacies industries should be introduced to reduce the cost of medicines.

There must be a special regulatory board for checking out proper functioning of the industries. And lead our plan to success.

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.

I like to express commercialization in health care is good because we have seen many privatisation and hospital are treating the patients well and atmosphere of the hospital is also good when compare to government hospital.

We can see in social media commenting many issues and complain because doctor are paid if their work is not completed also government is paying money when comes to privatisation it is different case doctors are paid for their work.

Government must take an initiative to came commercialization it also leads to development of INDIA and it must be reasonable facility to all classes of society.

In my view Commercialization in health care has brought up lots of benefits like increasing facilities, private hospitals are fulfilling the requirements of extra hospitals in the our country which government is not able to open new one, etc. But its should be up to some extent only, and government should take a strong decision regarding to this issue so that poor people can get some advantage from this and misuses can be minimized.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In case of pharmaceuticals, commercialization is bad because we find many antibiotics, mood stabilizers, painkillers and even some vaccinations (rarely) are making people sick. We come to see many symptoms such as nausea, autism, paralysis in some patients. Also, we come to see many private practice doctors and especially cosmetic surgeons playing with patient's health for money. Government should adopt the policy of State Intervention to ensure private hospitals are available in small towns and villages and using less expensive means, instead of being available in just big cities and abroad.

The government should improve the quality of treatment in govt hospitals. So, those people who are not having enough money can take good treatment. The people can have a choice to choose between private hospitals and govt hospitals as per their comfort.
