Commercialism
is the order of the day in medical profession. People are scared to go to Allopathic doctors. Consequently other disciplines such as Homeopathy Ayurvedha and the like have become sought after
systems.
The problem in allopathy is the very process of selection of candidates for the study. Now mostly mathematically minded people and those who get high scores by rote learning get selected for the study of medicine. Actually people with biological orientation are right candidates for medical studies.Because of this terrible flaw in the selection of MBBS students (who do not have the right aptitude) the profession has been hijacked by the money minded to mint money at the cost of honesty and integrity and medical ethics. Mushrooming of corporate culture in medical profession is a terrible deviation from the ethical profession.
It is high time that serious attention is paid to the selection process. NEET and other methods of selection have contributed only to the commercial culture as they help to create artificial merit as against natural and real merit.

Those who study medicine are invariably those with the resources to pay for the most expensive courses, in this case medicine: Those without the necessary resources to pay will fail to qualify on economic grounds. Ability has less to do with the outcome of quality graduates than you suggest.

Medicine is one area in which quality cannot be compromised as it deals with life.Creating and establishing hospitals in an industry like fashion with profit in mind is an important cause for the problems in the medical field. Doctors getting dividends from the managements for their work is a dangerous proposition making doctors behave like traders.
Medicine can be taken away from privatisation. Govts should invest more for hospitals. Govts. should make medical studies affordable to deserving candidates.
Medicine should be delinked from "investment profit motive" . Only then medicine will be a humane service.

#Medicine should be delinked from "investment profit motive" . Only then medicine will be a humane service#

It already is delinked. There is a public and private component.
For example; if you enter the hospital system as a public patient, all your medical needs will be dealt with at taxpayer expense. Mostly this is achieved by entering the hospital system through the emergency ward. (I’m not aware of other entry points into the public system).

Private hospitals are generally not facilitated with emergency wards as entry points, however, the public system will often (as not sometimes), purchaser services from the private system.

The private health system is exclusively for wealthy people generally speaking.
For example, a cataract operation will scoop the eye surgeon $40k per eye; to a large majority of people, this operation that Fred Hollows advertised for Africans, would cost $25 in parts.

The profit margin for the medical industry is astronomical by comparison to the world of normal people. It’s why they live in expensive houses at the expensive end of town.
Medicine is for rich people, one end to the other!

Yes the private hospitals cater to the rich mostly.Ultimately it is the doctors who are responsible for the mess in field. If doctors are humane people the inequitable distribution of health care would not arise. That is why it is paramount that the selection of candidates for the Medical course should be done with care and conscience.
