As the private healthcare lends a massive support to India’s healthcare and illness burden , much more needs to be done to maximise synergies between state run institutions and those run by private players . Imagine a seamless migration of the needy patients to and from each of these independent systems where immediate reimbursements at mutually agreed rates is the norm could be one solution. There could be many others like strengthening our public health infrastructure , but more than anything ,a movement towards preventive health and wellness should be the goal . Our healthcare systems cannot remain standalone centres of excellence, we must collaborate and integrate in a symbiotic manner for the overall betterment of the entire ecosystem #healthcare https://lnkd.in/gjmc8jrE

An existing gap, rather an opportunity for the needy, the patients, so well said! If only there are some wise ears to this and some sane minds reading and making a true meaning out of this, this could be the pathbreaker! Awesome 👍Navneet Bali

Agree. In India, where public healthcare often struggles with resource constraints and private institutions shoulder a significant share of the illness burden, integration is not just desirable—it’s essential. Government should have a dedicated department focusing on PPP making it a priority to improve quality of healthcare delivery.

Just an aspect, but whats ratio of the cost to buy the articles vs quality of treatment provided and good outcomes associated. There can be many aspects to preview the news. 1) even though few articles have to be bought, the patients get treated and cured. WOULD ANY PRIVATE HOSPITAL TREAT THEM FOR FREE..ABSOLUTELY NO.. so ARTICLES WORTH FEW HUNDRED TO THOUSAND INR are better then to arrange lakhs of ruppee. 2) all articles get used for patients. Procurement procedure in govt is complex. If bypassed for urgency, then AUDITING PROCESS will suspect corruption. 3) no adequate quantity is there. Also some VIP get preference. So reserved articles are used for them. SOLUTION. Is this possible big corporates CEO earning hundred crores just donate 1 CRORE per annumm by directly buying articles and donating it to RML, SAFDARJUNG, GRANT HOSPITAL. for them its like donating 1 ruppee from 100 they earned. Trust me things would turn better with lots of boons for them from needy ones.. WE NEED ACTION NOT POSTS

I truly appreciate the idea, but the migration of cases and acceptance of cases by private entities would highly depend on rates as you rightly mentioned. Current subsidized reimbursements are too low to be sustainable, which do not scientifically account for the procedure as well as overheads along with delays in reimbursements which in turn disturbs cash flow. This leads to quality of care issue and discouragement for private sector. But we hope for future restructuring and realignment for mutual aggreement.

Very well said. "As the private healthcare lends a massive support to India’s healthcare and illness burden " That is a very true statement . I always felt that the rise of private healthcare in last few decades is an important part of a solution of our healthcare. "A seamless migration of the needy patients to and from each of these independent systems where immediate reimbursements at mutually agreed rates is the norm could be one solution. " It will be a wonderful solution provided a reasonable, immediate and mutually agreed reimbursement is done. I will give much more importance to "strengthening of our public health infrastructure ". It is very much possible if we invest more and manage well in our Public Healthcare. We have witnessed an era where Public healthcare was our predominant and superior Healthcare.

I agree , but reimbursement of rates can be an issue as currently most private healthcare institutions are in clash with insurance companies on lower limits set by insurance agencies . I feel availability and training of rural medical professionals can be a important step

Infrastructure needs to be revamped in a big way. Profit loss statement’s are a must if each government healthcare facility to understand the dynamics of funding and spending.

Seamless migration to and from public to private with hasslefiree reimbursement is a great idea to cater to needy people. Both public and private care offer their unique strengths

Absolutely 💯 Cmdr on public - private healthcare synergy on a common minimum agenda. To ensure everaging private sector expertise, technology, and efficiency to complement the public sector's reach, especially in rural areas, and its mandate for equitable access... Everyone Everywhere Equally 🩷🤗
