The Health Insurance Scheme 1

The health Sector has been inundated with challenges of patronage, poor service quality, revenue generation, recovery of cost of treatment for emergency patients and accident victims and most importantly cost of keeping the facility running. Like every business, most healthcare practitioners are at a cross road of which one comes first: financial gains or their core value of saving lives. Most prefer the financial gain! I fully agree that bills will have to be paid while giving sufficient return to the operators. However, providing stabilization and the joy of saving a life I believe should give better satisfaction and sense of fulfillment.
