Are you one of those people who has already googled ‘side effects’ of the medicines on your prescription even before you’ve left the hospital? While there is no large-scale study available to measure public faith in the Indian healthcare system, most of us are no strangers to dinner-table horror stories about medical negligence, confusion about which specialist to consult, or that one nurse who inserts a cannula like it was a plug going into a socket. Let Dr Sumanth Raman, author of Sick Business: The Truth Behind Healthcare in India, soothe your worries, misconceptions, and confusion about medical treatment. In this episode, we discuss the essentials of finding the right doctor in India and what is needed to improve medical cost, access, and transparency. Tune in to discover the secrets and stories of how Indian healthcare really functions. Watch!
