Medical services should be run by profit-making companies. To what extent do you agree or disagree
Health
care matters is a very imperative sector
however
some individuals argued that health
services
should be managed by companies that are up for business.As far as am concerned i
disagree with the reason being that these Change the capitalization
I
services
will be very expensive and there will be a conflict of interest between the patient
and the facility.
Firstly
,services
would be very costly for a low-income earner patient
to seek services
from these facilities thus
the mortality rate will be very high in the community as people will seek services
from other unreliable sources such
as herbalists.For example
,in 2020 it was reported that in the national newspaper that 80% of Kenyans
patients with insurance visit private hospitals despite representing the very small number in the country.Replace the word
Kenyan
Therefore
, it is prudent health
sector
be affordable to the public,this
is because it is a basic need.
Secondly
,there is a conflict of interest between patients and the facility such
that patient
needs will be taken into depending on what a patient
can afford.In addition
,the facility will put more effort in
making a Change preposition
into
profit
rather than taking care of the patient
such
that the patient
will only receive full services
depending on what he/she can afford.For example
,in 2018 it was reported in star times that only 10% of kenyans
cancer patients received complete treatment despite 90% going without complete treatment due to inadequate resources.Change the capitalization
Kenyans
Therefore
, it is indispensable not to have profit making
company run Add a hyphen
profit-making
health
sector
as patient
needs will not be met.
To sum up,patient
needs will definitely be met with affordable health
sector
however
with the health
sector
being run by profit making
companies and Add a hyphen
profit-making
this
will not be achieved this
is because the priority of these companies will be profit
