I am an avid reader of your Express Healthcare magazine. This is with regards to a topic that might interest you. Time and again your magazine has brought to light the changing scenario within the industry. Corporatisation has played a pivotal role in changing the mind set of the patient as well as healthcare providers. However, this has not completely changed the way a patient looks at a doctor.
Today, doctors and hospital administrators openly talk about business. This is accepted by patients to a certain extent, but mostly patients still believe that a doctor is not suppose to talk business.
The question that arises here is what role does ethics or a code on conduct for doctors and healthcare providers play while delivering healthcare to the people at large?
