At the South Asia Conclave 2018, panellists discuss the state of healthcare in India in the face of ‘inadequate funding’.
New Delhi: A rising diabetes...
Fauja Singh, 114, died after being hit by a speeding car. His death renews questions about India’s deadly roads, rising accidents, and poor traffic discipline.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
It’s wrong assumption that drs salaries are responsible for low revenue of corporate hospitals. Actually when you pay ₹100 bill, only 10-15 ₹ go to Drs pocket cumulative ly. .Rest is hospitals earning. Barring few celebrity drs, majority drs are exploited in corporate set up.
There is a clear indication of government that private hospitals should not be dependent completely on implants and consumables. There are several diseases spread across country on which doctors and hospitals never focus. Doctors must start working on capturing clinical data and analysing it through available analytical tools. To maintain quality of hospitals to attract international and corporate patients, we have NABH quality indicators which can be analysed further to improve operational efficiency. If a hospital maintain their bed occupancy for the right ailments, probably the question of selling will never come. I feel thankful to trained managers of hospitals who brought hospitals at such stage.
Most of these hospital managers are completely unaware of the laws and ethics governing the medical profession and usually harass the doctors to achieve targets. Most public believes that it is the doctors that are at fault.. Once you join these hospitals, the management simpley puts forward its demands to the doctor because they are paying good salaries. Even other industries expect results but not by violating ethics and human rights.
In order to avoid breaching of these rules, hospital managmenet & business management graduates who plan to operate hospitals should first know them. Unfortunately, most corporate hospital managements borrow talent from the pharma industry where they are aware of the rules governing the medical profession but try to convince the doctor to work contrary to it.

Perhaps the state of the economy is a contributory factor. Difficult to think of a single industry or sector that is in the pink of financial health.
