Dr. Dharminder Nagar, Managing Director, Paras Healthcare, believes in the right of every Indian to healthcare. He discusses the importance of accessibility, affordability and need for equitable distribution of healthcare. “The rising cost of healthcare is a matter of concern for everyone,” he says. Facilitating healthcare is the responsibility of government as well as patients, who can control costs by visiting appropriate facilities when they need medical care. Dr Nagar’s advice: Go to a GP if you have a small health matter, and go to a specialist or tertiary facility only when your problem is complicated.
