Consumer Grievances with Medical Industry - Issues
Dear Members:
Thanks for submitting your vote on the poll about what industry has the most share of consumer grievances.
Let us initiate a discussion on the issues consumer face in the medical industry. I request all of you to outline the various issues you have experienced/come across in this industry.
Once we understand the issues, we will root cause them and identify solutions that can be taken to the various Ministries and Departments for implementation.
Our objective would be to bring some systemic changes that will increase accountability and reduce consumer grievances in the medical industry.
I look forward to you inputs!

In order to curb corruption in Medical field these are below suggestions 1. All Hospitals should be mandated to display the costs associated with Inpatients and outpatients. Whether the patient is insured or not the hospital must not be able to charge excess amount just because patient is covered by insurance 2. Fixed pay scale to doctors based on his specialization and experience 3. Every doctor should be allowed to only choose between clinical practice or hospital practice. He shouldn't be allowed to have both. In case Govt. feels this suggestion is not good then atleast doctor should declare his consultant practices and hospital practice in an affidavit. 4. Gifts from pharma companies should be stopped totally. MCI should be more active and conduct regular raids in clinics and hospitals to make sure this practice is stopped more
