Satyamev Jayate – Every Life Is Precious – Episode 04: Does Healthcare Need Healing?

People trust medical practitioners, believing that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to safeguard their health. But when this knowledge is misused to exploit this trust, medical care becomes a nightmare. The profession is riddled with unscrupulous doctors and hospitals out to make big bucks at the cost of patients, but there are still medical practitioners who stand up for the Hippocratic Oath, and those who want to clean up the profession.

Episode 4 of Satyamev Jayate, a popular chat show hosted by Aamir Khan. After spreading awareness on Female Foeticide, Child Sexual Abuse and Dowry Harassment, this week, the show deals with Malpractice of Doctors.

Of all the episodes so far, we loved this week’s episode the most. Some of the key points that the show put forward

• At least 6% of a country’s GDP should be spent on health care – India is spending just 1.4%
• Some doctors ask for more than 30% commission from pharmaceutical companies.
• In 2001, 31 government medical colleges and 106 private colleges were opened. The donation charged at some of the private institutions was around 60 lakhs for a medical seat!
• Shocking: About 65% of the Indian population can’t afford basic medicines.
• Another shocking fact: Medicines purchased from generic stores are much cheaper. For example, a branded diabetes medicine costs Rs 100+ per tablet, those purchased using generic names cost less than Rs 2 for 10 tablets!

Episode 4 Message : Rich or poor everyone deserves and should get the same kind of quality medical treatment.

This week’s question – Should every state government follow the example of Rajasthan and open generic medicine stores throughout their state, so that all citizens can get medicines at the lowest possible price.

Naav Lyrics

*************************************************

Ek masoom si naav hai
Zindagi zindagi
Toofan mein dool rahi
Zindagi zindagi
Maaji ki aankon mein jhank kar
Kinara dhoond rahi hai
Zindagi zindagi
Zindagi zindagi

Badalon ka shor bahut
Tezz hawa chal rahi hai
Tezz hawa chal rahi hai
Ek lau maaji ke hath mein…
Ek lau maaji ke haath mein
Aank moond hai jagi hui
Aank moond hai jagi hui

Ek masoom si naav hai
Zindagi zindagi
Toofan mein doob rahi
Zindagi zindagi

Ho maaji tum sath nibhana
Ek ek kadam nibhana..
Ek ek kadam badhana
Ek ek kadam badhana
Main chod doon assa agar ho maji
Main chod doon aasa agar
Tum na chodona sath kabhi
Tum na chodona sath kabhi

Ek masum si naav hai
Zindagi zindagi
Toofaan mein dool rahi
Zindagi zindagi
Maaji ki aankon mein jhank kar
Kinara doond rahi hai
Zindagi zindagi
Zindagi zindagi
