Scarcity of medical professionals

It’s very much surprising to know that we have only one doctor readily available for as many as 10 thousand people, if we go by population wise statistics in India. And very less number of train medial staff for the same figure. One more heartening revelation is that most of the medical professionals concentrated in urban area leaving rural part on the mercy of traditional remedies and fake doctors. We have this phenomenon even after the Plenty of youngsters aspires to enter in medical field due to Indian society’s respectful approach for this noble profession. We are producing doctors and medical staff in large number but still common people have to suffer crunch of medical staff and medicines sometime.
Let’s see why….
Our hundreds of designated universities have been awarding medical degrees in bulk in order to keep pace with the mounting population. We must have adequate number of doctors and medical staff to treat our growing population. That’s why we have opened up plenty of long and short-term medical courses. But, still something is playing dead game to turnaround over all kinds of efforts. We need to check out shortcomings prevail in our long term planning and implementation. The government spending on medical services should be utilizing properly by canalizing our all sort of efforts.
The noble cause adheres to this profession make youngsters to spontaneously go for this career option. As they have feeling of serving people suffering from diseases and bring cheer on patient’s face at any cost. Such guys can work round the clock without expecting substantial remuneration from government and public medical hospitals. But, in some cases parent and relatives insist young generation to become doctor in order to achieve their dreams. After such stiff insistences this profession become a money gainer due to reluctance. Such students once accomplish their degree, they starts earning in handsome packages offered by big city hospitals. And mounting pressure of enhance fee also put financial burden on student to repay their loan as early as possible. Besides, pursuing education in abroad and subsequently working there have become inherited fashion in our society. Most of the students spend crore of rupees to settle down there to enjoy luxurious lifestyle. Then, they don’t like to come back even for social cause.
Such things worsen the situation. So, rural people don’t get basic medical treatment on time. They have to travel to big cities or abroad to cure their disease.
