Prabhat Khabar 40 years: When what was inside the white coat of the doctor came out, the dark deeds were exposed.

Vijay Pathak, Ranchi: Doctors are called God of Earth. This is also true. Most of the doctors serve and treat patients with full devotion…especially in government hospitals. But doctors are also a part of this society. As every class and profession of society has declined, so has this sacred profession declined. Prabhat Kabar has issued a series of reports on doctors doing business under the guise of this sacred profession. Prabhat Khabar still believes that there are more doctors who care for patients with a sense of service. But there are few people who have turned this holy profession into a business. In his report, Prabhat Kabar also reveals how pharmaceutical companies keep doctors in their clutches. Pharmaceutical companies operate on only three C's… C stands for convince, C stands for confuse and C stands for corrupt. First pacify, then confuse, and finally corrupt. He has also succeeded in this. Prabhat Kabar also presented many examples of how doctors take money from companies to prescribe medicines. Money is extorted in the name of family outings, seminars, expensive cars and parties. It was also revealed that many doctors were demanding up to 40 percent from pharmaceutical companies. Prabhat Khabar also made a detailed report on the game of cardiology, exposing extortion in the name of cardiac stents. In particular, people were made aware of the salvage procedure called Cardiac Stent. It was also revealed that stents worth Rs 20-25 thousand were being charged more than Rs 1 lakh each from patients. The Ministry of Health, Government of India also took cognizance of this and fixed the price of cardiac stents. But this is also true, stents have come down in price, but patients are still being charged more. In the name of OT Fee, OT Assistant, Nursing Fee etc. In the Doctors series, Prabhat Khabar also told how this game is played called Inquisition. How 50-50 percent commission is taken on inquiry. If these commissions are not taken, the investigation becomes cheap. A sodium-potassium test that was sold at Rs 10-20 is now being charged between Rs 200-200. Lipid profile testing can be done for 60-70 rupees, which was charged between 500 to 700 rupees. However, the inquiry centers also had their own logic behind this. He said…the cost of sophisticated equipment, infrastructure and manpower is huge, so testing is expensive. Testing centers also said that if quality is required, the cost will definitely increase. Surgery in the name of surgery also exposed games in the name of surgery in hospitals in its series. It was also revealed that the recovery was in the name of surgical supplies. He also told how a syringe worth Rs 1-2 is sold for Rs 10 to Rs 20. Prabhat Khabar also provided solutions on how common people can get relief from the clutches of expensive medicines. Examples were also given of several states including Rajasthan, where the use of generic drugs has brought a lot of relief to the people. The prevalence of generic drugs has increased in Jharkhand-Bihar today. People are getting cheaper branded generic drugs. Doctors have an important role to play in increasing the circulation of generic drugs, but they do not get full support. Prabhat Kabar's campaign also had an impact. People also became aware. But even today, the influence of big pharmaceutical companies has not diminished. People expect relief in the medical field.
