I do not understand why the Pvt hospitals must spend so much money on the construction of hospital like a seven star hotel. Why do not they spend money on getting the best equipment available in the world and the best doctors and staff. They can save huge amount by economizing on construction by making it simple,clean and comfortable. That they can save on the interest cost and make the treatment cheap. Govt can possibly put some cap on the capital. more

Room rent for private hospitals are like if one is taking room for luxury vacations not for treatment. All TPA's should be directed not to raise their ceiling beyond 1000-1500 per day for the sake of affordable treatment to all. If it happens the hospitals will automatically have to bring down the room rates. Unity of TPA's will be the strength in this case. more

The cost of total treatment is also dependent on type of room taken. For the same procedure the cost of other elements are higher for higher room charges. more
