It has been
reported that heart patients in India have to pay 700 percent more than the
import cost for stents. Stents imported for Rs 25000 are sold at a price of Rs
1.55 lakh. This was revealed in the first-ever cost survey by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA). The survey has also shown that the maximum retail price
(MRP) itself is exaggerated and depends on the whims and fancies of distributors.
This shows how the doctors, hospitals and medical distributors are hand in hand
, and cheat the poor citizens of India. They have no morality. God only can punish
these unscrupulous rogues when the government remains as a mute spectator.
There are
alternative medical systems, more effective for certain diseases than Allopathy
but not given due importance in the lime light of big corporate allopathic hospitals.
Most of these hospitals, with their widespread publicity, are doing daylight
robbery. A noble profession has turned into a racket through unholy nexus between
doctors and medical distributors.
The Government
should act immediately and stop this kind of rip off.
