Question

difference between public health service and Private health service​

Answer 1

Answer:

Private Health:-  A private hospital is one which is owned and governed by a person or many people who are managing the whole finances on their own. Not just finances, even the whole funds process and the administration, staff, all the doctors, everything is under control of that private body. It has been seen that most of the people go for private hospitals and they prefer them over any other option. This might be due to the facilities provided and the perception that all the equipment used are reliable, of good quality, and better. However, the fact of private hospitals being much more expensive and costly can also not be denied. The number of facilities and the kind of individual care and attention given to the patient in a private hospital is undeniable. These little yet highly paying services provided in a private hospital makes it the first choice for any patient who can afford the price. Since no one wants to risk their lives and get into more trouble caused by even the slightest of negligence on the part of treatment, private hospitals remain to be popular.

Public Health :-A public hospital, on the other hand, is completely and entirely run by the government’s funding and money. Everything from the construction to the fees of the doctors to the equipment, medicines are based on the government budget. Hence, each and every single thing is being taken care of by the local government body. A public hospital is considered to be a preferable option for the not-so-rich lot of people who, despite acute illness, cannot afford the heavy fees of a private hospital. It is very ironical to see that a hospital that is governed by the government, which has obviously more funds than a group of people or one person alone, does not offer that level of service that can be counted on in most of the times. However, this can be due to the fact that a government has a limited budget allocation to health care as it has many things in its hands such as defense, education, economy, etc.
