Small hospitals,clinics may find difficult to survive in India in future:

Why its difficult for Clinics and small hospitals with upto 20 beds those  managed by individual doctors and their immediate family members will have to be closed down in India in the future ? 1. the proportion of rural population has started to decrease now and that phenomenon will continue in future. As a result there will be less captive population to depend on small hospitals in rural areas and in small towns.  2. Medical insurance/mediclaim will become more common and the insurance companies will prefer to deal with big hospitals.   3.  small hospital owners will become unable to find enough doctors to work with them as they cannot afford high salaries required by the doctors.  4. Majority of the doctors would prefer to go abroad, or work in India on high salaries which can be provided by corporate institutions.  5.  that the big and small divide will get widened because of  CE ACT , which has already been notified. This will affect the owners of small nursing homes.  6.  the cost of medical care including the cost of land, equipment and maintenance of staff will increase so much that will force the small type health care institutions to close down.  So, what is the future health care scenario ? the number of hospitals will diminish, but the Corporate set up will flourish even more. -corporatization of health care as like retail merchandise. it will not be a viable option for individual doctors  them to run a hospital.
