RE:Allow Private hospitals and Medical colleges
by Prakash Desai on Nov 23, 2007 04:36 AM

Dear Sir,
Do you live in india or outside?
For your information, india already has two tire medical system
One is govt aided service, which includes hospitals operated by central govt, state govts, municipal corporations and up to "gram panchayat" operated dispensaries where all the staff is employed and paid by govt or mun. corp. And patients are charged at heavily subsidized rates
(please, do not talk about level of services and waste space and time, everybody knows about it)
And parallel to it is private hospitals, private practising doctors who do not get any financial assistance from govt and they do not provide any subsidized service. That means, medical service from private doctors and hospitals are more expensive
Any citizen of our country is free to go for treatment to any of the service provider (govt or private)
The same is true for medical colleges and medical education
For your information, i repeat, private participation in medical service in our country already exists
