the data and facts mentioned in the above article may be true, but certainly intentions of the writer is to get large business houses to invest in a waiting oppurtunity of healthcare which is a gold mine after so called retail boom. what mr. singhal has not mentioned is, if all is so bad with India's healthcare, then why does citizens from UK, Europe, USA, Africa, Middle east etc etc are coming in hundreds to get treatment and operations done here. I am talking about so called developed countries and rich people who are coming here to get treated and yes white skin people not only NRI's are coming here. It takes 5-6 months to get appointment for a moderate surgery in any subsidized hospital in UK, which means citizens either wait to death or spend few bucks and come here. It costs USD 1000-1200 for avg 2 days hospitalization in any good hospital in USA. There are more than 50% people in USA who do not have subsidized access to any Hospital/treatment beacause of government policy of privatisation of health care in hands of large private business houses. Insurance business and healthcare is a nexus in USA, and the same is being tried in India by promoting such practises. The write up is mere eyewash and does not do anything with reality except promoting writer for his interests.

Its a nice article. The writer is not trying to say quality of healthcare is bad in India.. Some private hospitals do carry international accreditations! But the point is, the lack of coverage... you dont get to talk about no. of beds per 1000, when thinking about the quality of services... Its jus the coverage which is lacking!! And well.. do you see any foreigners landing up in ur nearby government hospitals?!! These private hospitals are still alien in their pricing to the rural people... Do think about it...

of course, the article is intended to attract only business and it is not in the public interest.
