Ryan's District Boards

The Indian government on Saturday ordered a review of activities at all state-owned hospitals to end what the health minister called systemic corruption, as part of the new administration's crackdown on malpractice in the healthcare sector. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has vowed to eradicate graft in India's $74 billion healthcare industry, where doctors receiving extra payments for referring patients to a particular clinic or receiving gifts from companies for prescribing their drugs are common. "There are many aspects to corruption in hospitals which as a medico I know exist," Health Minister Harsh Vardhan said in a statement. What is equally corrupt is the silent practice of reserving beds and facilities for employees or VIPs." Private companies dominate India's healthcare system, while government hospitals are overcrowded and lack the resources to cater to growing demand.
