Indian Health System is a Catastrophe in waiting
Please read the write up in The Hindu today on India’s wrong health policies by a former union health secretary which is in agreement with my views elaborated in my books HEAL THY WORLD and Healthy India
The commercialised Indian health system is now worse than the worst model possible in the world as we are copying the worst non- system in the world -that is of USA
Managed care or Obama care in USA was only a partial damage repair work for their already damaged system, which is out of reach for 50 million marginalised people there. Donald Trump and Co are not even bothered about them and stopped it soon after coming to power.
One can imagine the extent of damage to our country by imitating the USA model non- system.
Even in Kerala the advisors to our government are misleading the government by injecting some of the wrongs from the USA model into ours. That is the reason for not starting training programs for MBBS doctors in Kerala to make them competent multispecialists to manage our PHCs and private clinics. Ignoring this crucial issue even Kerala government is made to promote hitech hospitals, transplant institutes and medical colleges alone.
Please read my book HEAL THY world written highlighting these issues and the solutions for our health system
Earliest we stop copying USA it is better for India
Let us copy only the better models and that too their good things only from Canada, Denmark, Australia and other similar countries with a people friendly health system but after excluding their pitfalls too. There is hardly any good thing to copy in health care management from USA except when you want to start a profitable business in the name of health care.

Considering the social relevance and the dark days ahead of India or the catastrophe in waiting for India, I have personally invested money in getting this book published as there is no one to support such books.
