In a recent statement, Minister Satyakumar expressed deep concern over the state of the medical profession, calling out its increasing commercialization. He emphasized that medicine has now become more of a business rather than a service dedicated to patient well-being.
Satyakumar pointed out the troubling trend of scanning being conducted for even minor illnesses, which he believed was unnecessary and driven by profit motives. He further criticized the medical industry for stopping normal deliveries in favor of caesarean sections, regardless of the necessity. According to him, there has been a shift towards performing operations that may not always be needed, underscoring a worrying shift in medical priorities.
The minister’s comments have sparked a debate about the ethical standards in healthcare, with many questioning the balance between business interests and patient care.
