Amritsar\u00a0 <\/span>April, 13th<\/sup> ( Punjab Post Bureau)- <\/span><\/b>All\u00a0 the doctors who gathered at the IMA today agreed with AAP\u2019s \u00a0Lok Sabha candidate from Amritsar Dr Daljit Singh, when he stressed the need of\u00a0 “Affordable health for all”. Amritsar\u2019s “who is who” not only from the various fields of medicine, but from other professions as well as from commerce were present. The atmosphere was charged, naturally because the intellect of the city was talking about \u201cSolutions.\u201d \u00a0Solutions to the problems that we face every day, problems that seem irremovable . \u00a0 But\u00a0 if with sheer grit and determination , Polio\u00a0 could be eradicated, so can\u00a0 all of these problems, says Dr. Daljit Singh. \u201cAll we need is to\u00a0 put our heads together to seek solutions, honestly and diligently at a macro level.” Dr Daljit Singh reiterated that education and healthcare are the two major concerns all over the globe. In India however health does not feature in the priorities\u00a0 of any political party.\u00a0 While private health care sector has\u00a0 advanced in leaps and bounds , state run health institutions have \u00a0lagged far behind , forcing patients to seek treatment in the private sector.\u00a0 And how many of us can afford the treatments offered at private hospitals ?\u00a0 Healthcare is simply too expensive for the Aam Aadmi.\u00a0 \u00a0Huge government hospitals with exorbitant budgets are being under utilized and mismanaged to such an extent that their expensive machines are decaying due to disuse.\u00a0 People living in the rural areas are most affected due to deficient healthcare . For every little problem , people have to rush to the towns and cities at great expense and hardship. Often they suffer at the hands of\u00a0 quacks. According to Dr Daljit Singh, health insurance for all is the need of the hour , \u201cNot the usual, useless, namesake Health Insurance, but a workable acceptable one which would cover all ailments for anybody at a minimum cost. The government of India has to prioritize this and\u00a0 I would pursue this relentlessly. \u201d He further invoked the famous saying that “Prevention is better than cure ” , whereby\u00a0 not only do we have to treat illness , but go a step further by trying to ensure health and prevent diseases from occurring at all. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Amritsar\u00a0 April, 13th ( Punjab Post Bureau)- All\u00a0 the doctors who gathered at the IMA today agreed with AAP\u2019s \u00a0Lok Sabha candidate from Amritsar Dr Daljit Singh, when he stressed the need of\u00a0 “Affordable health for all”.
