Population Growth

Significant population growth between 1970 - 2000

With a billion plus population the need for

healthcare is universal for both Urban and

Rural India.

With an increasing incidence of life style

diseases (approx. 33 percent of the total pie)and a growing geriatric and pediatric

population, there is an emphasis on the need

for specialty care

India is the worlds second most populous country

Public Healthcare

There has been a significant increase in

public infrastructure over the years.

While in 1947 the number of hospital

beds was 3.2 per 10,000, the present

number of 9 per 10,000 is

commendable, but still far behind that

of other developing countries

The governments share in the

healthcare delivery market is only 20

percent.

The current NHP aims to increase the

government contribution to healthcare

to touch 2 percent of the GDP by theend of the five year tenure, an increase

from the present contribution of 0.9

percent.

Government Initiatives like NRHM,

NUHM and RSBY are working towards

better healthcare for the poor.

Need for privatisation

It is a known fact in our country the innovations are done by the corporates not the govt entities.

In most of the government hospitals, the presence of doctors has become a joke. They can beon strike any time. Eg: Rajasthan doctors went on strike which caused hundreds of life.

There are long queues, In AIIMS for a simple appendix operation we have prestigious 1 monthqueue. The patient will die before his turn comes.

Government hospitals lack basic amenities like beds, blankets etc.

With the growing population and diseases their is a need for increased as well as improvedfacility.

Government hospitals does not have proper infrastructure and health staff to treat the patients.

The facilities provided by the government hospitals are below par.

Unavailability of latest technology and research.

Advantages

Good Infrastructure with increased curing rate.

Better hygiene and technology.

Research and Development facilities.

Rapid development in medical field.

Better hospitals play a pivotal role in attracting medical tourists indirectly

helping our economy as Most of them take medical packages which

includes tourism in India, so adding up taxes.

Any time Service

Disadvantages

The private sector hospitals are behaving like Money Foxes with anendless appetite.

Even for small cough they prescribe costly medicines.

Health care has become like business to the doctors.

Monopoly leads to bad service.

When we enter for one problem they will create another problem to the

patient and suck his money like blood sucked by mosquito.

" Health is wealth", but the saying slightly changed to "wealthier is

Healthier.

Lack of social objective.

It does not reach the remote areas where the poor people are found, hence

segregate those areas where majority are poor, running away from loss.


8/9

Possible way

Running away from a problem is not the solution of that problem. We know

that there are some defects in medical facilities provided by the government,but making it privatization will not help.

We have to point out that defects and with the help of government and socialorganization tackle that problem and solve it. In India nearly 30% of people lies

below poverty lines, they don't have sufficient food to eat how can they affordthe bill of private hospital.

The main objective of private hospitals is to make profit by extracting as muchamount of money from the patient as possible.

There should be a regulatory authority governing their function and pricing ofservices as we have NPPA (National Pharmaceuticals Pricing Authority) forgoverning the MRP of Medicine. There should be regular check by competentauthority like Medical Council of India (MCI).
