they say an increasing number of foreign patients will be headed to indian shores for treatment that is cheap and compares well with that received in their home countries. this means there are good growth opportunities for corporate medicine. this reflects the world-class quality of indian healthcare providers. but quite unfortunately none of this advanced medical care will be available to the average citizen of the country. all the foreign exchange goes into private coffers or indifferent government treasuries. someday the common man can hope to receive the same treatment meted out to the cash heavy foreigner. the outcome of this business is an increase in posh hospitals and swanky private clinics while the need of the hour is decent rural health centres. well hope is that somewhere along the line the doctors, the businessmen or the government will realise the bare necessities of the populace and will strive to seek a balance between business and responsibility.
