However, the medical profession is hovered with
pharmaceutical companies, Browsing the list of pharma companies in India, could
find out top 10 and 20 in India. Though it is not the authentic figure.
Moreover, there are multinational companies too around the world. No wonder,
three-fourth of the world economy is dealt and controlled by the drug
companies. The network of pharma companies has acquired a huge space in the
world.
However, new pharma companies are emerging day by day
inland and abroad as well. The companies are hiring people in scores to cover
the medical field as much as possible. The freshers are being appointed on
scanty remuneration in the situation of vast unemployment. Those persons can be
seen moving from one doctor’s clinic to the other. Appointing the freshers, the
companies draw much more benefit.
Due to the killing unemployment, the freshers agree to
whatever amount they are offered. In this case the experienced and old
employees are at the verge of termination any moment. In that amount and perks which
an old experienced employee draws, the three freshers can be appointed.
By the way, the queue of the medical representatives of
various companies can be seen in the hospitals and private clinics. The representatives
appear with certain gift items and other benefit before the doctors alluring
them. And the cycle goes on in this way. The relation between the doctors and
the companies becomes closer. The medicines are much costly, though from the
beginning but these days the costs are towering much higher.
However, the doctors have nothing to do with the high
price, they would extract it from the patients. Meanwhile they are well gifted.
A dealing between the doctors and companies are fixed, irrespective of the
patients. The patients have to suffer in both ways, physically as well as
financially.
As a matter of fact, the patients and their relatives bear
the cut-throat charges and prices of the medicines. The cost of medicines are
rising day by day. Incidentally, one of the chemist told about the price
fixing. Minimum three times of the cost price of any medicine are charged in
the market. Just assume, what the patients and their relatives have to go
through in this connivance. The medical treatment has become an uphill task to
perform these days, but there is no way out. One has to go through this fire. It
can be easily assumed that there is a nexus between the both.
