🔹 1. Public vs Private — Healthcare or Lottery? — A patient in a government hospital waits 9 hours in OPD, then gets 5 minutes with a doctor. — In a private setup, he pays ₹1500 and is seen in 15 minutes — but is prescribed ₹5000 worth of tests. 👉 India spends only 1.2% of its GDP on healthcare — one of the lowest in the world. 👉 70% of India's healthcare is delivered by the private sector — which is out of reach for most. 🔹 2. Insurance = Paper Protection — A man with Ayushman Bharat coverage went hospital to hospital in a Tier 2 city — and was denied by all. — Why? Insurance rates are too low for private hospitals to “accept” such patients. 👉 Only 20% of hospitals in some states are empanelled under Ayushman. 👉 Many families discover their policy doesn’t cover the treatment — only after admission. 🔹 3. Hospitals Run on Numbers, Not Needs — ICU beds are pushed for even mild cases — because they generate more revenue. — Blood tests and scans are repeated just to bill insurance. 👉 In some hospitals, doctors face pressure to meet monthly revenue targets — or risk job threats. 👉 Patients = profit centers. Medicine = product. 🔹 4. Drug Access = Rich Lives, Poor Dies — ₹300 generic chemotherapy drugs exist — but patients are prescribed branded ones at ₹15,000. — Some cancer patients are forced to skip treatment entirely. 👉 Even in govt setups, 60% of drugs are “out of stock” and must be bought from private pharmacies. 👉 Essential medicines often miss the shelves, but multivitamins are always available. 🔹 5. Rural Healthcare = Ghost Infrastructure — Many PHCs (Primary Health Centres) have no doctors, no electricity, and no basic medicines. — Deliveries are still done by untrained attendants in many tribal areas. 👉 66% of India lives in rural areas, but only 27% of doctors are available there. 👉 Shortage of over 3 lakh doctors in public health system. 🔹 6. Doctors Are Victims Too — MBBS interns work 20-hour shifts, sometimes unpaid, sometimes unpaid for 6 months. — PG residents do surgeries, manage emergencies, take rounds — and still face violence from frustrated patients' families. #mbbs #medicine #medicalstudent #doctor #medical #explore
