Reaching out medical Services to common Man
 

    

    India is being looked up today as a fine destination for medical care with competent specialists, for a much less cost and time, by the rest of the world. Thus an era of 'Medical Tourism' has begun. But, the saddest aspect is, how much of this expertise is availed by out common Indian citizen. The bare trith is, the high costs of diagnostics and investigations make proper medical care beyond the affordability of majority of Our citizens. The major reason for this state of affairs is due to unethical, illegal and business like practice in the profession.

    Having grown desperate at this sad scenario and attempting to efface tile reasons for the out of reach modem medical facilities for the common man, we at HUMA have initiated a strife to undo the impediments and to ensure affordability of these by the common by focusing on:

1. Making international quality medical care affordable even to the common man;

  

2. Refraining and restraining any kind of unethical or illegal practice of gratis or kickbacks;

3. Crusading against doctors being included under the Consumer Farum. this in fact is one of the main reasons for Doctors carrying out extra investigations to sate guard themselves from libel suits;

4. Prescribing only necessary medicines and necessary investigations to save the patients from over dosage radiations and also unwanted expenditure;

5. Spreading awareness among public about the availability of top quality diagnostics and investigations, at a price affordable even by a common man. And also about the rebirth and revival of the most ethical medical practice by a team of doctors that we have formed here, called 'The Noble Doctors' Our slogan / logo / motto is "We Dare Because We Care" "We dare" because we challenge the unethical practices in vogue, 'We care" because we want every medical facility available in our country to be made within the reach of common man.

    We at HUMA have made a humble beginning towards this great cause and you the Press are the torch bearers / Ambassadors in spreading this message to every nook and comer in India, so as to kindle the thoughts and revive the true ethical practice of medical profession so that India emerges as a healthy and strong nation.

    This task of creating awareness, my dear friends, is in your hands.
