A True Protest Against Corruption
Recently one mega serial started named-“Satyameva Jayate” Which is a mega project of Amir Khan ,the great actor of Bollywood. The program is based on some true fact which can touch your heart.
Amir said,” It is not to make any violence ,but to alert our country people.” I have seen the entire episode. In one episode it was shown about corruption in medical treatment. Many doctors and High authority of Medical council of India came. There were many medical students also in the audience.
In a village of Andhra Pradesh it was shown how almost every women suffered due to a bad doctor. All have lost their money and assets.
One lab doctor came and said that he had a lab to test urine or blood etc. He had to give commission to doctor so that he could get the test. He also acknowledged that most of the test was unnecessary. He had to pay 30 to 40% commission to doctor.
One Ex-army man came with his daughter and shared their bitter experience in which he had lost his wife. Without his permission the doctor changed his wife’s kidney in a hospital. The hospital had no license to operate such and that doctor also had no any experience and authority. The Army man paid a bill about Rs8,50.000 but lost his wife.
Actually this a practice of many private hospital to catch a patient and firstly gives many test and then makes a way to earn. The common people can not know the actual disease.
One Doctor, who practiced in a private hospital, also confessed that he was forced to do such illegal matter.
The chairman of Medical council of India also participated in the program with an ex chairman. The duty of MCI is to look after such illegal matter and also has authority to take action against such Doctors. But there was also corruption there. For this still 2008 no doctors got any punishment.
One doctor has also said about a nice scheme for poor. They started a scheme where a farmer will give Rs 10 and the Govt will give Rs 30 and they will provide a good treatment with surgery( if necessary) .
So this is a nice try of Amir to alert the people against corruption. Another episode may be against dowry system or social crime etc.
We should salute such social reformer.
