The article (the Edit published in September 2012 issue) builds up on a strong point, something that we had advocated in our study on the status of emergency care in India. A better partnership between the public and the private sector. There are numerous opportunities to do so, have been and we have done so in the past successfully. But only to lose out on the momentum gained. Free markets and competitive organisations are always more efficient than an archaic and red carpet laden system. There are opportunities here that can truly bring about change. It’s about having an open mind, and understanding that someone could do healthcare better than the government.
