To Hell with Scruples


The medical tourism industry is booming in India. More patients from the west are flocking multi specialty institutes in India to avail of quality treatment at a fraction of what it would cost them in their own countries. Hospitals and doctors are growing in fame and wealth.

The poor in India as elsewhere get the raw end of the deal. While multi specialties give premium care to the wealthy who flock to their doors, the poor are meted out callous treatment. Unnecessary procedures are forced on them and they are made to buy more expensive medicines where cheaper ones are available.
Whatever rules and regulations exist can be easily contravened.Make money. Who cares about the poor.
