Many patients who have suspected bone tumour and have reached a healthcare facility, keep waiting for confirmatory tests and then for the results. Dr Jagandeep Singh Virk is Consultant Bone Cancer Surgery at Paras Cancer Institute, Panchkula. In this video he is explaining how every single day is important for cancer patients. At our centre we do the radiological tests like X-Ray, CT Scan, MRI on the first or the second day. The reports for these tests are made available on the same day and the biopsy is planned for the next day. The biopsy results are made available within 3-5 days and the treatment is commenced within a week of the patient arriving to our facility for the first time. In cancer cases, timely treatment is extremely important to prevent the cancer from advancing to the next stage and becoming metastatic.

Cancer is a dreaded word. The world comes crashing down, not only for the patient but also for the family once this word is pronounced in the doctor's chamber. In the last 20 years, India has seen massive advances in the field of cancer treatment. More than 50 hospitals in the country can now boast of world class infrastructure for the treatment of cancer. PET CT Scan, Linear Accelerator, Digital Mammography, Brachytherapy etc have given the requisite arsenal to the Indian doctors for successful treatment of all kinds of cancers. Bone Cancer is not a very common kind of cancer and therefore very few doctors dare to venture in the field of Ortho Onco Surgery. Most of the orthopaedic surgeons prefer to stay in Trauma Surgery, Joint Replacement and Arthroscopic Surgery. Dr. JS Virk is one such orthopaedic surgeon who took the bold decision of leaving the lucrative conventional orthopaedics and venture in the domain of Bone Cancer Surgery. Dr. Virk did fellowship in Ortho Onco Surgery from Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute, New Delhi and followed it with another fellowship in reconstructive surgery from Singapore General Hospital. Dr Virk is currently associated with Paras Cancer Institute, Panchkula and is doing Bone Cancer Surgery with special focus on Limb Salvage Surgery.

The Corona Pandemic followed by the `Black Fungus’ scare has resulted in many patients searching for MRI Scan centre. It is easy for people to understand that all cars cannot be of the same price. Cars have engine specifications and many more features which determine their price. So you can get a car for 2 lac rupees and the price of a car can be in excess of 1 crore also. The same is true for an MRI Machine. You can get an MRI machine for 1 Crore and another machine can cost in excess of 15 Crores. When you are going to get an MRI Scan done, you are not buying the MRI Machine so how should you be bothered about the cost of the machine. A better analogy would be hiring a taxi. You can hire a taxi for Rs. 10 per kilometer and you can hire a Rolls Royce for Rs. 100 per kilometer. Both are serving the same purpose of transporting you from one place to another. Now you can understand why some diagnostic centres are offering heavy discounts and doing an MRI scan for Rs. 2500 while others are charging Rs. 10000 and not giving any discounts.

Choosing the right MRI Machine for your test is a very complicated matter. Reading this article will help you in your search for the best.

Patients from all parts of the world come to India for getting high quality surgical and medical treatment at very low costs. Indian doctors are rated very highly even in the developed countries. However the cost of treatment in the developed countries is sometimes more than 10 times the cost of treatment in India. Most of the spine surgeries are being done in the price range of USD 6000 – 8000 in India. The same surgery would cost in excess of USD 100,000 in the US.

Puppetizing Healthcare
Healthcare institutes in India are submitting themselves to the Digital Disrupters for the last several years. You can call them aggregators but they love to be called `Disrupters’. Many web portals have sprung in the last decade who are busy in listing all the doctors, hospitals, diagnostic centres and other healthcare facilities. Many of these portals display the services provided by the healthcare facilities alongwith `Discounts’. Patients are lured by these portals by offering discounts on services like Doctor Consult, MRI, CT Scan and other tests. Several portals are in the pipeline who would be offering heavy discounts on the surgeries also.

The healthcare providers would do well to study the business model of these aggregators. Makemytrip promoter becomes a billionaire but the hotel owners become puppet at the hands of these digital behemoths. It may make some sense for the travel industry to be present on such digital platforms because their customers are spread all over the world. Most of the healthcare facilities have their catchment area within few kilometers of the facility. Their customers would not be coming from all over the country save for a few very big hospitals. These digital platforms add zero value to the services provided by the healthcare industry. What business do they have in demanding discounts on your services !

Most of the healthcare facilities do not spend money in hiring good quality marketing team and prefer to offer discounts through these portals for getting patients. Digital marketing is not very expensive and every healthcare facility would spend much less on their own digital marketing rather than hitchhiking on other platforms. If the healthcare institutes do not understand the perils of this business model, they would soon be dancing to the tunes of the digital disrupters. If you have installed a 15 year old MRI machine then keep your prices low as compared to those who have the latest technology but for god sake do not offer discounts on your rates. You are demeaning the entire medical profession and comparing it to consumer goods. Do not allow the concept of `End of Season Sale’ to enter in the hallowed profession of Medicine.

If the allopathic doctors and the healthcare facilities do not get off these digital platforms and start investing in their own marketing, they would be responsible for their puppetization. I am all for giving discounts and even free treatment to those who cannot afford it. When you do charity, you and only you should decide the beneficiary and not some digital platform. You are offering discounts to those who belong to the privileged class and denying it to the weaker sections. The best marketing for healthcare is `word of mouth’. Invest in improving your services and manpower and get patients on the basis of good services rather than price cuts.

There are enough groups like Health Insurance, CGHS, ECHS, ESI etc who are hell bent on hammering down the prices. Do not create another monster in the form of digital disrupters. You would be responsible for the premature death of healthcare in India.
