THE GOAL – What we all desire
“When we are ill, we want to know that we have a doctor whose technical knowledge and skills we can be sure of, on whose honesty we can rely and who will treat us empathetically with the respect and courtesy to which we are entitled. We need to be sure that the hospital or primary care team to which our doctor belongs works effectively and safely, so we can be assured that we are getting good quality care. And we need good access to care.”
Sir Donald Irvine – President GMC 2003
DOES THIS RING A BELL?
If you want to attain this state read on…
Realities :-
- Astronomical costs and magnitude of unsafe care (Read More..)
- Anger and frustration levels of all at the highest, globally (Read More..)
- All pervading mistrust (Read More..)
- Cannot be achieved by waving a ‘magic wand’ due ineffective implementation of existing laws, adversarial relations, name- calling, blame game (Read More..)
To achieve this goal a lot needs to be done. A herculean task of gargantuan proportions. A “Mahayagna”( a huge combined effort) with "Ahuti" (contribution) by all is needed to generate the “Prasadam” (cf. Samudra manthan to generate the “Amrit”) which everybody needs and wants.
