Former union finance minister P Chidambaram on Saturday said, Doctors and administrators of public hospitals should focus on retaining patients and treating them in public hospitals, he said.
 

Addressing in 6th convocation of Dr. D Y Patil University institution deemed to be university on Saturday Mr. Chidambaram said that because of lackadaisical administration, public hospitals were seen as inefficient, turning away patients and refuse to take normal risks while treating them. He said that our health system is divided into three categories--public/government hospitals, private for profit and private for non-profit hospitals.

The last category was diminishing and soon became minuscule in proportion and if the former vacates the space in healthcare, the health service would naturally grow to occupy that space resulting in far reaching consequences to the poor and the middle class peoples.
