Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Thursday joined a battery of health experts who have said that India’s testing rate was very low, urging the Modi govt to increase it.
Many super-speciality hospitals may not empanel for Ayushman Bharat, saying reimbursement rates are as low as 11-15 per cent of the actual costs of surgeries.
ThePrint had previously reported that India & Russia are talking about 5 more regiments of the S-400, but no contracts are to be signed during the Russian president's visit.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
This is just one way of looking at it. Your argument is that doctors and hospitals are charging more because they do not have competition. But know that even in country like US, where they have ample number of government and private hospitals, still the pr icings are sky high. There are cases when people are met with an accident and they tell the rescuers not to call ambulance because they know they’ll be burdened with such a huge bill. We should learn from Japanese Healthcare system. Where All the practitioners fees are same and decided by the govt. .All the medicines, test, procedures etc.are decided every two years collectively by Doctors and Government. After that no one can charge above it. So, this emopowers the citizen to visit hospital more often and take better care of their health. While Americans pray they never have to visit a hospital beacause despite of Mediaid & Mediccare thier bill will skyrocket. So, definitely by bringing the prices down and increasing the inflow of patients will do more good for the business. Another issue that is hampering our healthcare system is the Drug Mafia. Those Pharma kingpins that are promoting their super expensive medicines via MRs & Physicians. When anything comes from physicians we the common people are bound to buy it. That is just plain robbery. People fear the costly medicine prescription more than doctor’s fee. because of such most people refrain to visit hospital. Also if one manages to pay for certain operation but that’s just half of the story, medicine course still follows. So, costly medicines are only benefiting the pharmas and only harming everyone and everything else. Doctors, hospitals, Investors, govt, No one benefits from costly medicine but only lose major customers. Just Imagine if like Japan, only generic medicines are allowed then so many people will freely visit hospital.
The corona virus pandemic has only exposed the rampant negligence, corruption and inadequacy present in Indian healthcare system that has always been present even prior to COVID – 19.

But, the doctors in private hospitals do overcharge and prescribe unnecessary tests. Though I believe, quality health care is expensive and the doctors and hospitals should make profits. Only profits can motivate them to spread their network. Also, rich people can open more charitable hospitals or can run some government hospitals too.
