Pause & Ponder …Provocation
“A few constants of India’s health care scenario are; ever
increasing population of patients, inadequate financial resources,
increased participation by private sector, and the patient (who
should always be the centre-point of any and every policy in healthcare
and who is the main consumer of healthcare), is NO WHERE to be
seen.”
