Indian parliamentary panel warns of imminent collapse of healthcare system
New Delhi: A stark warning has been issued by an Indian parliamentary panel, acknowledging that the country’s healthcare system is on the brink of collapse.
A damning report reveals that a staggering 44% of surgeries performed in India are unnecessary and fraudulent, driven by the corporatization of hospitals and the pursuit of profit.
The report highlights the alarming consequences of prioritizing profits over patient care, leading to a surge in unwarranted surgical procedures. This disturbing trend not only puts patients’ lives at risk but also perpetuates a culture of exploitation, where hospitals and medical professionals prioritize financial gains over ethical practice.
The parliamentary panel’s report attributes the crisis to the increasing corporatization of hospitals, which has created an environment where profits are prioritized over patient care.
The report’s findings have sparked widespread concern, with many calling for urgent reforms to address the systemic issues plaguing India’s healthcare system.
The panel’s warning comes as a stark reminder of the need for immediate action to prevent the collapse of India’s healthcare system. As the country grapples with this critical issue, the government and healthcare stakeholders are under pressure to implement reforms that prioritize patient care and ethical practice over profits.
