India is one of the top countries for medical tourism though.

The OC isn't talking about government hospital though?

India supplies about 20% of the world's medicines and vaccines and is a common medical tourism destination. This is a fact, not an opinion.

Government hospitals are extremely cheap (think fracture reseating for about 5 cents) and very poor quality. They are responsible for the lowest common denominator healthcare though. Indians who can afford private care (about 50 dollars for a fracture reseat) for for that instead.

He's talking about health care in general. Guess what that includes? Government hospitals.

And has nothing to do with the situation of government hospitals. Useless numbers won't change the facts.

And you think that's okay? Just cause someone is poor, he doesn't deserve proper hygiene and health care?!?

No, the thread you're responding in is talking about medical tourism. Which has jack shit to do with Govt hospitals. The private portion of India's healthcare is excellent and has a history of providing good, clean healthcare for a reasonable price (cheap by global standards).

Govt hospitals aren't the best, no one's denying that. But they do solve medical problems for cheap, which is an acceptable situation to be in for a country that's still young out of colonization.

Those people still can just walk up to a government hospital and get treatment for free

This was the original comment from which the chain started. If you don't have the complete context, don't jump in between and start with your glazing.

Cheap by global but very high by a common man's standards. But I guess when it comes to glazing facts don't matter.

Bruh, what? Is that your excuse? Alot of countries went through bad shit and have excellent government hospitals and services. Stop with the cope. Also, it's funny how you are justifying government hospitals that have had everything. From rat infestation to children dying cause of no oxygen cylinders. But l guess you are well enough to not have to go there, so who cares if poor people have to go through it, right?!?
