Hello Friends,
Before I start this Topic, let me first clarify the meaning of the phrase " PIPED DREAM". It means An Unattainable or A Fancy Possibility.
Well, getting Back to the Topic ---
Doctors, in India, were Considered, same as God. However, the Doctor-Patient relationship; today has gone to some other level of Animosity, Stress, Distrust. This Brutal Truth has to be analysed further.
In yester years, doctors were dedicated to the welfare of the patient's welfare first. Ayurveda is an age-old and time-tested Branch of Medicine in Inida. The knowledge was procured with great " Saadhana". The Trails of the Medicinal Herbs were not done in any lab. The rapport of the Physician with Nature; gave its bounds of knowledge of Medicine and Healthcare. The Ancient Ayurveda-acharyas used to make the medicines in their own clinic or home set-up.The herbs were gift from Nature, jungles. Thus, the cost of study, medicines were low. The defects, then, were the time taken for knowing and practising those medicines on patients and the lack of technology, to speeden up the process of diagnosing or testing. However, the great Scholars of Ayurveda, just by mere "Naadi- Parikshan" -- The art of diagnosing by reading the pulse; would find the root-cause and later treat them accordingly.
With the advancement of science & technology, in the field of Health-care, the age span of life increased. Tests, Trials and proof-based studies started to make their place. If I analyse the whole history of Health-care system in India, starting from doctor to patient to hospitl set-ups to latest medical equipments to Trained staff to specialisation of doctor's practice to the whole Pharmaceutical Industry to The Ministry of Healthcare. The growth in every above facet of medical practice has definitely been massive and humns have succedded to someextent to unravel the secrets of Self, Health and Mind.
However, in the recent 10-15 years of Healthcare Industry, we can see a strong gradual nexus of doctors- Hospitals- Corporates - Pharma Companies.
In this whole evolution of Mankind and in particular the healthcare system, GYAAN i.e. KNOWLEDGE, VIGYAAN i.e. THE SCIENCE as to the questions How has been answered or tackled nicely. However, what is missing or rather Vansihed is the VIVEK part i.e. the Question Why and Humanity.
it is very saddening to know, I, being a great fan of studying and analysing Pharma Industry very closely; everything has gone MONEY - CENTRIC. Today, whatever Pandemics, major natural climatic changes happening are due to this Mind-set only What is really missing in every facet of life today, is Being Human or Valuing Human- Centric Values. Today, in Corona issue, PM MOdiji & Govt. may have taken very nice and proactive steps for the country, helping the Poor by providing mere medicines and health-care services at affordable or free rates.
However, as a human being, as a child of Mother Nature, as a citizen of World Community and Country India; we are forgetting to ask the Big Questions -
Why still people are thinking or there is a necessity for a human to think to provide basic facilities to the so-called Needy class?
Why is every country still in the race of securing its own place on the World Platform and stand out from others?
Why cannot we take still, this World as our Own Big Home and all humans as a Part of a Big Family??
Hence, According to me, until such Mindset does not change from Money Centric to Empathy for Human and its Humanity; the Affordable healthcare or any free service for needy is still a Piped Dream in India. The class - differentiation has to be eradicated, today's poor or for that matter, every Indian citizen, should value the Hard-work, Human efforts and then the Money- which is just a mere symbol of Exchange for Value of goods and services.
In the end, there is exploitation of a class, caste, community, poor-rich, hard-working - true tax-payers, hard-earned money makers, true sons of Earth - Farmers, etc. However, the positive or Rather a ray of Hope in this Darkness; I saw the recognition and Return of our Country's age-old treasure of Ayurveda and Yoga.
If the field of Ayurveda and Yoga are still considered Alternative Therapies and the Other recent Prodigy of Science - Allopathy is considered as the Mainstream Branch of Medicine; I do not see major changes of welfare in the Indian Health-care System.
Hence, if the Doctor Fraternity, Govt., Pharma Industry, all Branches of Medicine (Pathies) go hand-hand and come on the same Platform, the future of Indian Health-care would see a New Rising Sun for sure.

Its Time To Collaborate than be Competive today.

Well said.
