Medical Insurance in India

Few facts n equations I know about: Insurance is one of the largest n fastest growing indiinduin India n over the globe right now, expected to be amounting to US$280 billion in 2020. Large no of life insurance and health insurance companies are in market right now, of both private and public sectors. Around 36 health insurance companies and TPA are in market of which around 28 are making loss out of it in view of Claims received, paid and due to huge amount of fraud claims submitted, in one way or other, which indirectly reflects on premium, increasing year by year, making it a burden over common people. There are many terms, conditions and sum insured limitations in mediclaim policies taken individually, unlike in corporate and government schemes for eg: MAA Yojana, ONGC, WR and so on, which is widely and many times used wrongly by many people, which is ABSOLUTELY UNFAIR, where they have no terms and conditions neither many of them have any sum insured limitations. So, There is an

Medical Authorities in India

Where are v heading? Where will this end one day? Why so many Increasing conflicts n undesirable incidents? Who is the main responsible? Govt body giving authorities to start medical colleges every now and then without proper confirmation of services and education they can provide. Education standards in medical colleges in India is very poor. Govt n regulatory authorities n corruption at college levels specially self financial institutions, are main culprit bcz they want to settle following data on international levels, published on WHO n Indian medical journal websites last year. "Only 106 415 doctors are employed by the government in India, of the 938 861 doctors registered to provide healthcare to a population over 120 crore (1.2 billion).  Of these, only 27 355 are posted at primary health centres (PHCs), which serve the rural population. With poor infrastructure and no increase in the number of posts for government doctors over the past many decades, despite a

Festivals in Hospitals

Wishes to all On this divine festival of Rakshabandhan So how does it make difference in hospitals¿ Doctors, staff, paramedic staff one or the other on leave and few r performing their duty as that on regular days, few staying away from their homes, not able to celebrate festival for one reason or other! My day started with Rakhi at home, thn starts duty, first patient I saw in icu today eaw young lady suffering from neurological stroke and coma, came from MP to Baroda, 2 days back, not improved after all teams' efforts, relatives from some far village 200km from here, want to tk her home, Brother signing Formality papers of Discharge process with no expression on his face standing by his father's side, who is illiterate bt wise, with understanding that she would not make it now and will loose her sister on this day itself. Where is God? Reminding me of famous quote of HouseMD, ''Either there is no God or else he is very cruel "

Worsening Current Senario

I have studied 14-16 hrs a day .At times much more. I have worked relentlessly for 36 hrs. I have not slept for hours to take care of unknown people. I have experienced the saddest moments of my life when I have lost a patient. I have experienced happiest moments of life when I could save a gravely ill patient. I gave up a lot of pleasures of my life to reach to this level. I took no hesitation in cleaning the dirtiest of wounds ,stool n urine of patients. I have put in my heart and soul into my profession. I do not get any special concessions or support from the government. I have a family and a right to good living too. I take pride in being a doctor...one who is there for all irrespective of caste,class,creed,religion or status.. PLEASE DO NOT BELITTLE MY PROFESSION ... I'm still in India to serve inspite great opportunities abroad itself shows my love and loyalty to my country.... Value it before it's too late to find good dr in future in country.

Doctors and Festivals

As the time is passing by Festivals in India r changing gradually and so as the illnesses in those times where everyone is enjoying with family and frnz Doctors and Soldiers have to be on their Toes as for example v have so many increasing number of cases of Kite Thread Injury every year. In any case to give 24*7*365 medical services to the society, even at any cost offered, its not an easy task to do so. At one side all medical n paramedical staff has to balance between their personal life n professional life in such situations and still its always Thankless job. People now a day think that v r paying so v shld get ol facilities available sooner as possible (my dear frnz u buy services wth money but not person) n the attitude of people in society is changing towards doctors n so vice versa n thn comes criticism rather thn appreciation for the whole team. I true heartedly salute all medical n paramedical staff to be available on festive days as I also salute our Army to be available

Isn't it true¿

R v really aware n care for ourselves? For our physical health? How many of us have regular health check-up? Do v really have budget for our physical health? I think mostly ans is.. V r not aware neither v care as v should nor v have any such budgets. Here, mostly in India i m talking about as i m not aware of other places, have habit of neglecting physical symptoms n consult good doctors well in advance. The only way to prevent major illnesses or to avoid them being major or to detect n treat them early is to consult ur physician doctors regularly and undergo health check-up so that v can prevent illness n improve our health by improving our life style before its too late. Be cautious bt not anxious. Its better to b safe then worried.
