Most inventions in the medical field are made abroad. We Indians are busy trying to be at par with developed nations in space science.. and rocket making. that is nice. But government should also be aware of the sufferings of patients and dedicated efforts to improve conditions of patients need to be taken
Government is spending money in non priority areas such as subsidising the Haj pilgrimage, one girl child etc. But patients in need of dialysis and urgent medical attention for life saving support systems are ignored. Perhaps this is because we are still ruled by the elite class who can affort treatment abroad and also get government healthcare benefits and they do not suffer due to medical problems. But it is not fair to turn a blind eye on the patients who need urgent life saving healthcare….

At least our government should awake now to the needs of dying patients and try to promote such technologies in India by giving deserving subsidies… so that all of us can sing “saare jahan se achcha…”
not just those healthy wealthy elite classes
