Private hospitals benefit most from insurance schemes: CMA president
New Indian ExpressCOIMBATORE: “The Indian healthcare system ranks good in aspects like accessibility and the number of doctors available but struggles with treatment quality,” said Dr J A Jayalal, president of the Commonwealth Medical Association. Without increasing budget allocation, improving the quality of health care will remain a challenge.” Dr Jayalal also said that the penetration of government health insurance schemes is inadequate. Obviously, government insurance schemes benefit the private sector.” He added “Considering that 75% of health care is managed by private hospitals, what is the necessity of insurance in government hospitals? Instead, they can allocate funds directly to the government hospital to upgrade infrastructure, because the Insurance sector alone takes 30% of the money for the administrative expenses,” Jayalal said.
