Agreed that there is a shortfall of trained personnel in Healthcare industry, but we do not have the resources... and maybe never will, it all depends on how we manage our meagre resources. I know for sure that funds are aplenty, thanks to funding agencies and our own govt. initiatives.
To improve the status of health, our culture needs to change, our mindset and our outlook towards health should change. As Indians we do not value life and do not value good health as an asset. No government or private sector players can change the health status, it HAS to be on an individual basis, from every citizen. FOr starters not to urinate and defecate anywhere we please, not to spit, use dustbins, etc. The infectious diseases are a real threat. The rural population needs attention, maybe they do not have access to healthcare. What we can do for our health is more useful than what the govt. and doctors can do.
Diabetes and Cardiac problems are lifestyle disease, PREVENTABLE! by adopting proper lifestyle at a young age. The economics of healthcare also suggests that prevention is cheaper than cure. The Choice is yours. Any comments/suggestions are welcome. ....A doctor and a Health management student.
