"Health is not only wealth, this also needs wealth"

Now a days, quality of healthcare has become one of the most widely discussed issues. Because 'Health' — whether you like it or not is everyone's everyday concern. We all are not simply reactors in this system — we are active actors in it as well.
Unfortunately, standard of public hospitals is falling and a number of corporate hospitals are rising as the class gap in the health care widens. But it does not mean that these big expensive private hospitals are always standard and monitored by an authentic body. Today, general people are very helpless as "health is not only wealth, this also needs wealth".
It is ironical that we could not develop the right vision for proper healthcare management system. Most of the hospitals are not aware of accreditation system. Policy makers/owners should not forget that these sensitive services need not only be funded well but have to be managed and delivered well.
Anyway, you can improve this situation a little by taking an active role. Do not hesitate and ask questions while you are inside a clinic or hospital. This is your right to understand the real situation and to evaluate options, especially when you are seeking overseas healthcare.
You may ask about the following basic type questions:
* What is this test (e.g., Bilirubin-Jaundice, Platelet count-Denguae) for?
* How many times have you done this procedure (e.g. Heart-Angiogram)?
* About 'Price/Package' in details and when will I get the results?
* Why do I need this treatment? Any other alternatives?
* About the treatment's success rate? And the possible complications?
* Would you please write down the drug's name clearly?
* Are there any side effects of the prescribed medicine?
* Will this medicine interact with medicines someone is already taking?
