ENTRY FOR HOW DOES MODERN HEALTHCARE TOUCH LIVES BY INDIBLOGGER AND APOLLO HOSPITALS
The modern era is characterised
with the advancement of science and technology. For science, there is nothing
impossible. There has been advancement in the field of medicine. Today, there
are very few diseases or medical disorders that cannot be treated.
However, while it is becoming
increasingly efficient and can provide for all, I am always worried about the
availability of health-care for
everyone, everywhere. Though I know that there is a long way to go, I have found
that there are many things that modern healthcare has innovated and invented to
realise this aim to provide “healthcare
for all”. Rather than writing anything technical, I would like to mention
some personal experiences about how modern day healthcare has helped and
touched lives.

We sat down in the evening and
during the conversation that went from foreign culture, systems, policies,
economic to Indian lifestyle and development scenario, he told that he came
here for a heart surgery. I found it strange as I could not imagine that a
person who has all access to superior hospitals across Europe will come to India
for a surgery.
I expressed this thought to him
and he remarked, "Because many Indian hospitals are as good as hospitals
in Europe and they do the same treatment at a lesser cost that. So I came here
as I will get a chance to meet my family and relatives here as well will be cured
at a lesser cost. It’s kind of medical tourism." At that time, I had felt
a sense of pride.


In
fact all these experiences are only few of my experiences. There are many
others. Modern
Healthcare in common man thinking is seen as a costly affair for the common
people but as we saw, the situation is not black and white. It is very much people-friendly
through its objective and working. It strives to provide proper healthcare without
any discrimination. It strives to extend its reach to the common masses and the
low income category people.
In this respect, Modernhealthcare views proper healthcare as a
right of all. Apart from maintaining
ethical and professional values of care, follow ups, immediate response and
assistance and availability of world class facility at low cost, it also has special
treatments, free OPDs for poor, health camps, Disaster relief program, round
the clock services, specialists availability and other outreach programs. From
caring for International patients, especially of our neighbor countries to the
remote assistance through telemedicine network and health awareness campaigns,
the modern health care in India has
transformed itself.
