Corora Treatment In Hospitals: Really ! Unaffordable Healthcare in Unaffordable Time - By Rajnish - Lets Care Society
Rs. 4000/-, this is
the cheapest price of Covid-19 treatment per day in Mumbai for private
hospitals. If this looks hefty to you, then let me tell that this price is the
result of after being capped by state government.
In Chennai, after being capped, the cost of ventilated treatment per day is Rs. 15000/-, again in Mumbai, a private ambulance service charged Rs. 8000/- for transporting a Corona positive patient to a distance of 200 meters.

This costing of
private medical services clearly state that they are ‘Not Open for All’. Is
there an option, yes there is, government hospitals. State run hospitals are
providing free of cost treatment to the respective pandemic patients. Seems
fair, but what arises as question is why a group of patient is still heading
for private healthcare, reason is simple and I think we all know, the set which
can afford this price in exchange of better comfort and luxury, and the people
who are heading there due to congestion in government hospitals. There is no problem
for the first group as they went there voluntarily and can pleasantly afford
it, but the second group had no option. For the latter, the amount of 4K is a
matter of their part of monthly saving which they are supposed to spend in one
day now. I am not even considering the lower middle class, and the people below
that line, because they might prefer dying instead of paying this much.Hence,
the financial gap between citizens is visible through this by considering the
number of patients opting for public hospital and the private ones.
If we try to see on a
positive side of this, then we could see that even if a little, but the private
bodies are loosening a minute burden from public healthcare bodies. But this
logic is not satisfying, because even after this argument you cannot ignore all
the other factors like income disparity, deficient resources for catering the
mass and many other factors like the underdevelopment of this country.
At the end of this post, I agree that nothing new has been written in this article, it’s all that we already know.
