This year American Presidential election is being fought on one issue -medical health care. Barak Obama has declared to continue the same policy that he took up to make health care cheaper. He knows the people in his country want health care system to be made affordable. Republican candidate Romney has a different solution on this matter. In the west health care is very costly. In England one spends above 1000 pounds even in cataract removal operation. Many from England come to India for cataract removal operation. Britons by spending 900 pounds that include to and fro journey by flight from London to New Delhi and taxi fare to and fro between New Delhi and Chandigarh can get eye care treatment in India. Elsewhere in other states of the country Government hospitals are working in competition with private hospitals. But in Manipur it is a different story. Government hospitals exist under the mercy of Doctors. Despite getting non practicing allowances almost all of them either run private clinics or perform operations at the private clinics to earn hefty income. This goes on unchecked. A system needs to be evolved to see to it that common people get best treatment at the Government hospitals that too at affordable price. What do these private clinics have more than Government hospitals possess? Poor people of Manipur without knowing their capacity and spending power move directly to the private clinics and at the end on seeing the bill they regret for the mistake done by them. Former Chief Minister R.K. Dorendro was a sensible man. Sometime back he had his pile removal operation done at the RIMS. O. Joy firebrand opposition leader also received medical care at the RIMS. They are wonderful leaders in the true sense of the term. Unlike other influential leaders, who throng private clinics even for measuring blood pressure level they did what common men want them to do. No Doctor claims that they can protect human life. When the end approaches everything will cease to be effective. Hence the call for giving attention to the Government hospitals. Impose ban on Government doctors performing operation or other services at the private clinics. Private clinics can exist no doubt about it. No words of dissension against private clinics existing together with Government hospitals as long as the former use doctors of their own without depending on the Government doctors. Unless the system is done away Government hospitals will continue to be neglected. Many of these Doctors attend hospital as late as 12 and return as early 2 pm like other Government employees to treat patients at the private clinics. The neglect meted out to the Government hospitals is responsible for the rush of patients at the private clinics. In the same manner American presidential election is fought on medical care issue the state Government must think of improving health care system in Manipur. Health care system prevalent in Manipur leaves much to be desired. 90 percent of the population of Manipur belong to lower middle class. The demand of the people belonging to this section is cheap and affordable medical care. The demand can be met without spending a single pie. Punish recalcitrant doctors.
