Health for All?
India is a leading medical tourist destination. Patients from the western and the Arab countries flock to India because the private sector hospitals in this country assure them state of the art treatment by highly skilled and trained doctors in their respective fields. Everybody including the government is promoting medical tourism - a top revenue earner.
In this glowing scenario what is the role of medical care in relation to the ordinary Indian patient.
Well,'75% of the hospitals in the country are in the private sector, which are out of reach for the common masses'.The health care delivery to about 85% of the population is very poor. Only 10% of the urban population enjoys all the modern medical facilities provided by private hospitals, while corporate hospitals are available only to 5% of the urban population.”
In such a situation the very concept of medical tourism itself is contemptible.
Disgraceful
