I am happy to hear such a refreshing thought from a Doctor. He/She could have such a thought on becoming a "Management Student". Kudos. Yes, the solution is in the prevention. After all the heading of the article is "Health" and not "Sickness". We need to create a separate cadre of "Health specialists" whose role would be very different from the present day "Doctors". Doctors from the Day 1 of leaving their citadels of learning (spending more than 30 - 50 lakhs) are more interested in people falling sick and then treating them . . . . and of course, charging what the market can bear! The "medical tourism" that is being touted is just the tip of the ice berg.
I do hope that the present "Doctor" Health Minister finds some time to debate and finalise something on the "Health specialists" amidst his tight schedule of running the AIIMS and tinkering with the medical curriculum
