The health sector in Inidia is majorly privatized now .For more than two decades the Superpeciality and multispeciality hospitals have become common in India.where as Public sector hospitals are left in lurch to deliver poor service and negligence.Even governments don't show any interest towards upgrading the public sector hospitals. There are only some research institutes that are working under the supervision of government. The influx of private hospitals and corporate hospitals incurred a lot to the indian population.
The health assurance is one of the guidelines for the democratically elected government towards people in our nation.Btu contrary to this the government policies are made against the people and in favor of corporates. Majority of our population are still unable to bare the heavy charges of health care and treatment.Many go bankrupt after getting treated in any hospital.There are many different corporate hospitals across the nation in different cities.Government allows them to function freely and give the 'service', but never checks how they are benefiting the people.Especially the Fire safety Norms are utterly neglected.Recent fire accident at AMRI Hospital of kolkata showed a grim fact of negligence.This is the most ugly example of negligence and compromising with fire safety.The question here is how such hospitals get the license without strong safety norms.
Though the chief minister of Bengal has announced the cancellation of license and compensation to the kin of victims, but steps should taken to stop such incidents in future.The corporate hospitals fetch a huge income in the name their 'services' but most of the times they fail to deliver the responsible service. In case of AMRI the reckless behavior of hospital staff added to the damage.Preventive measures should be taken before establishing any hospitals.The central and State governments are equally responsible for the loss of many lives in Kolkata. This is the high time for the government to check for the fire safety measures in different Corporate and so called superspeciality hospitals of big cities. Because, if these safety norms are neglected the only victims will be the citizens who pay huge money for their treatment.
