As an Indian, I DO NOT want Indian health care to become blood sucking like American health care - I want India's health care to be humane, affordable, non-exploitative, focused on prevention rather than cure.
When he says India is on the way to becoming like the US in terms of health care, what we're supposed to hear is "You're fucked". We better divert ship. US healthcare is hardly a system to aspire to
Indian health care is expensive but not at the same time, government hospitals are getting better by the day and the rules like all the doctors have to serve 2years in gov hospital help. plus our gov already controls pricing of medication, and there are multiple companies available you you to choose the same drug from. although quality needs improvement but surly price is going down 😊
@@pradipchaterjee9576 yeah no one will make noice Just wait to be attended until you nearly die My roommate had to wait 7 hours with broken fingers in measurable pain to get attended by doctor So it's undoubtedly best in the world
The only Healthcare jokes about India that I'll except is of countries that do have free healthcare like UK and Germany. Atleast we Indians don't have to pay 5,000 US dollars for an ambulance
@@WizardAmbrose i know from personal experience And in india rates are as high as us Our currency is diff and they have higher income and then thus bill Here people have low incomes and then cost of ambulances during covid were 8000 for just hospitals nearby So chill down india has a very shattered healthcare
Ayurveda is not quackery. I have been using medicines from ayurveda and keeping allopathic medicine as away as possible. I am getting good results and staying healthy so far :)
Patronizing and condescending view. He is assuming that medical tourism is directed to 'western' patients, which according to him mean whites from US and Europe. The foreign patients come in from African countries, south Asian counties like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, etc. where cost effective quality healthcare matters. And how do you claim poor quality due to just 3-4 years of medical education? He should get the facts right... there are 5.5 years of basic med school and 2-3 years of specialization. The experience gained during this time in variety of diseases is much more than the simulation that American med students experience. For all this smugness would he deny that some of the best doctors in the US are Indian? Why do Americans think that they're the only people who matter?
But... It's a lie... I mean India's health care is not perfect, but it's much more efficient than US.... Much more and better health per dollar than US . And by the way, this is not thanks to the public service, private health is the one that provides more and better health for each dollar. The difference is that they have a true free market in the sector, while the US is full of regulations and lobbyists from healthcare companies trying to block competition from entering the market.
Its hard for Indians to digest the truth. But quackery is a big big problems in India. Allopathics have to clean up all the complications n wrongs and still get blamed for apparently not saving an already dying patient who was made worse by a quack. And then there is the violence against medical doctors in India. In truth, everyone country has a good amount of appreciation for Indian doctors except Indians themselves. You see Indian RU-vidrs and so called Bollywood activists target specifically doctors. their bias is apalling really.
When you create a piece of content to introduce people to a nation's healthcare system, it should be just about the nation and its progress & downsides. When you compare it to your own healthcare system , it shows a sense of insecurity. its good to be proud of your organised and advanced healthcare system but lacking humbleness just undermines the excellence you have achieved in this field. Dear professor, you could have used a more polite and modest tone by sketching the same issues in a more concerned way and advising India for its good.
spending less is good isn't it? so how can Wharton help people keep costs down and quality up, so as to help the huge populations and create a sustainable health care system ? check what you are saying at 1222 !!! research it please. would love to meet you in person to give you a Local perspective!
Nice profile picture. Try to avoid american or western doctors (Canadian, australian, especially US and UK) as they mostlikely came from colleges that put them in debt, making them more focused on money. Ive heard that doctors from rural areas also tend to be less money hungry and dissmissive, also tending to be boomers/gen X'ers that are more experienced.
@cine_desi_ Yeah, definitely! I had an eye accident once and scratched my cornea, visited a private doctor the next day, and got medicine for my eye and a meeting with the doctor all for less than ₹2,000. It would have easily been more than ₹30,000 in the US without insurance.
While Corporate Health Care facilities including expertise and technologies in private sector are rising in India day b y day and are considered to be one of the best in the world thereby attracting thousands of medical tourists from abroad, the over-all health care scenario of India's population is so pathetic. This is mainly due to the corrupted systems in the State Governments. Most of the State Governments have totally failed to improve health care due to extreme corruptions, defective delivery system, red-tapism, dirty politics. All blames should go to the State Governments (both State bureaucrats and State Politics). Until and unless State Governments come up with strong commitment and sincerity, India will take 100 more years to improve not only the over-all health-care scenario but all other sectors also. The prevailing situations in all the States are disgusting. The Centre alone can not push the State Governments. We all the citizens of India should strongly check our systems in the State Governments
atleast our poor people have some medical benefits in the name of govt hospitals. In america its like you pay for medicines or eat food you cant do both
@@Brabbs it's because India is a socialist and welfare state. Health care, education, old-age pensions, subsidies, rations ,and many welfare schemes are free
Till now 2018 only appox. 68000 MBBS seats. How 68000 fresher doctors coming out every year to treat 1.3 billiion people. The doctor-population ratio is 0.62:1000 in India. Read more at: //economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/59697608.cms?
With due regards dr l r burns of wharton seems to have a bloated idea about American medical institutions which is contrary to fact quality medical treatment is available in india given the fact a number of patients from usa come to india for its cost effective quality treatment
A very self-serving talk. When there is a 90m percent difference in cost, it is difficult to convince any same person that you pick the cheaper alternative unless there is a great difference in quality. So were need to ask why the cost is so high. Some reasons: 1. the costs of educating same quality physicians is minuscule in In die but essentially bankrupting for parents and students in the US. 2. differences in tort laws 3. Consolidation of healthcare "industry" in the US 4. Medical insurance. The more middlemen you introduce, the greater the cost 5. Lack of a single medical licensing with the result it is difficult to move from state to state for physicians. Moreover, each state physicians to lobby to protect their turf at the cost of patients 6. Lack of use of buying power in medicine. For example, VA system can not bargain prices they pay. ... From the talk it is clear that the speaker is more of a businessman more than a physician. In fact he is a sociologist/anthropologist with a PhD in sociology
After i heard that he said that medical tourism in india is all hype I knew this guy was just vomitting US propoganda I don't even see him as an expert
