The recently aired episode of Satyameva Jayate evoked virtues of anger and guilt within me. Anger was expectedly for the sytem and guilt was unexectdely against my own conscience. It's ironical how the nation confides in medical professionals who do not hail the sole meaning of being viable. At the same time it chooses to be an accomplice by condemning the system for its incongruence and inhumanity. The facts and figures are alarming. Spending just 1.4% of its GDP on medicine India confidently vouches for the league of prosperous countries. In the 65th year of freedom 65% of the population still does not have access to the basic medical amenities. Donation fee for a MBBS seat is whopping 60 lakhs! Out of everything, corruption leaps into the most nobel profession and the nation helplessly admits the crime.
This has to go somewhere down the drain. This nation of Gandhi, Bhajat and Nehru has to tear apart its slumber.The commoners can easily prevent the exploitaion. The RTI, MCI and the NGOs can help. Public Private patenership can overcome the initial deference. Medicine is a revered profession. Let the practitioners maintain the sanctity of the power they have. And let we, the nation be the change the system needs.
Sataya Meva Jayate!
