I learned from Indian Hospital series of Al Jazeera that hemodialysis costs only $10.00 per session. That is vs the average in the Phil of 2,000 per session. (or $50.00). Why is this so? Is it because Indian physicians are willing to accept lower price/pf)
There are only 400 dialysis centers with 1000 dialysis stations and 100 renal transplant units. and 700 nephrologists in IndiaHealth care in the Western world has been expensive and unaffordable; the rest of the world is following suit. The Indian hospitals has been leading the way in socialized health care, where treatments are ridiculously low low low: $1t+ heart bypass, $10 hemodialysis,. Big pharma and hospital appetite profit is partly to blame. Who will take care of the sick, especially those who are poor?
