🏥 Healthcare in India is a scam 💀. Why? Here's what you need to know - Way too many doctors 👨🏻⚕️👩🏻⚕️ and labs 🔬 competing for patients means the ones who bribe 🤑 for referrals are the only ones that thrive. - This practice has become well-established in cities and towns. A general practitioner or specialist refers 💬 to another specialist or a lab who then pays kickbacks 💫 as a percentage % of the bill 📃 - The going rates for lab 🔬 tests, including CT/MRI scans are 20% - 40% and the going rates for referrals to a hospital 🏥 or doctor 👨⚕️ are 10% - 50% of the total bill. - The hidden preference of doctors 👨⚕️ and others to send patients to the entity providing the greatest commissions 🤑 means it's a race to the bottom 💀. - The ones providing top money 🔝 are the ones who get enough patients 👨👩👧👦 to realize economies of scale ✨ and make profits 💲💲💲. The rest perish 😢. - As a result, few ruthless, cut-throat, and unethical players dominate the market 👔. Prices are sky-high 💹, go up all the time by a lot ⏫, and incorporate so many hidden, illegal charges that you never get to see 🙈. - Patients 👨👩👧👦 are not the only ones affected. Conscientious doctors 👨🏻⚕️👩🏻⚕️ and lab service providers 👩🏻🔬👨🏻🔬 also suffer. There are some doctors who are reluctant 😓 but forced by peer pressure and family expectations 🧐 into complicity 🙈 or eager participation 😈. - The government needs to come down hard ⚖ on this malaise before it leads to the demise of Indian healthcare 🕯️. Currently, the government is turning a blind eye 🙈 to the colossal corruption happening right underneath its nose 👃🏻. Please add your comments and suggestions below 🔽

COVID, A CLASSIC MIX OF FEAR , CORRUPTION AND CORPORATE GREED !!! Every crisis, war, insurgencies, medical emergencies, accidents etc are a great opportunity to make windfall profits by the Bureaucrats & Politicians in India. COVID will prove to be one of the biggest medical & financial scams of the world, provided human mind is able to think freely and fearlessly about the way, the whole narrative of fear was created, and the way various COVID protocols were implemented, which were devoid of science and reasoning. Huge amounts of money was siphoned off by the pharma companies, in the name of vaccination, so how could the Indian politicians stay away when the money was raining !! 40000 crs corruption is being alleged by a senior BJP leader in Karnataka, but the people of the country are rest assured that none of the investigation agencies will do anything about this. STORY BY JOURNALIST ANUSHA RAVI:- Senior BJP leader & MLA Basanagauda R Patil accuses his own party govt led by former CM B S YEDURAPPA of Rs 40,000 crore mismanagement during #COVID19. Alleges masks costing Rs 45 were billed for Rs 485, beds were rented on higher prices.

That’s why, we dug into our data to understand what’s sending Indians to the hospital and more importantly, what it’s costing them. If you think a hospital visit can be managed with just your savings, you’re going to be in for a rude shock. Want to know more? Download the ACKO India Health Report 2024 today! Link in comments.

India primarily has a reactive healthcare system, where people believe it is wiser not to prepay for services they 'might not end up using/useful'. Many of us in India fail to grasp the significance of preventing chronic diseases and premature death and how it can potentially impact generations. It is particularly important during our prime & productive years between 30-60 when we have numerous unfulfilled responsibilities on our shoulders. It doesn't matter if you are wealthy or poor. It becomes more about others than you. Did you know, that heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in India, accounting for almost 18% of all female deaths, and contributes to around 25% of all deaths in the country? Prevention is any day better than seeking a cure.

Hi Folks👋 Recently, I came across a post by Nithin Kamath co-founder of Zerodha highlighting a stark reality: "𝗠𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗯𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗿𝘂𝗽𝘁𝗰𝘆" This statement sheds light on a pressing issue that many of us may overlook until it hits home. 🏥 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 😥 Healthcare costs in India can be staggering, and a sudden medical emergency can quickly drain savings and plunge families into debt. With rising medical expenses, inadequate insurance coverage, and limited access to affordable healthcare, many are left vulnerable. 🔍 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 1.𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀 Families often find themselves in a precarious situation, prioritizing medical bills over essential needs. 2.𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 The fear of high costs can lead individuals to delay or avoid necessary medical treatments, worsening health outcomes. 3.𝗘𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗼𝗹𝗹 The stress and anxiety surrounding financial challenges can lead to long-term mental health issues. 💡 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 1. 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲: Ensure you have comprehensive health coverage that protects against high medical costs. 2.𝗘𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱: Build a financial cushion specifically for healthcare emergencies to avoid dipping into savings or accruing debt. 3.𝗥𝗲𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸-𝘂𝗽𝘀: Preventive care can help detect issues early, reducing the need for costly treatments later. 4.𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀: Engage in discussions about healthcare access and advocate for better policies to support vulnerable populations. As we reflect on this important statement, let’s consider our own health strategies and Together, we can work towards a future where quality healthcare is accessible to all, without the fear of financial ruin.
