About "GDP- Relevance in Healthcare " topic:

Gross domestice product is a significant indicator of country economic performance. Most of the times this term is being used by our Economics loving healthcare fraternity to match how poor is our country healthcare facility.

moreover, GDP is global indicator in terms of comparision in healthcare if we combine it with the % of per capita health spending.

Going by the current statistics America leads with highest GDP ,then is Japan, China , Germany , france & so on India is being rated on 12th position.

If we grade the % of GDP expenditure on healthcare USA remains the leader and the other countries putting up their strong presence are switzerland , France ,Germany and so on.

But if we rate altogether by the WHO's current health system performance USA stays far behind the countries from the countries who spends approximately 8- 11% of their GDP.

It has always being a challenge to compare Business performance with health performance but still all developing as well as developed country strongly rely on their economic parameters .

Performance assessment has always been a matter of debate as even by treating maximum number of patients India & china are rated among the worst countries for their health system performance.

In future healthcare sector requires more accurate parametrs to measure its performance (Than % of GDP &  Per capita expenditure in value)

Could it be that the GDP, that gold standard of economic data, might not be the best way to gauge a nation's relative prosperity? Since it became the prime economic indicator during the Second World War (to monitor war production) many have...

I agree to the points mentioned by Prakash. Apart from that I believe the financial crisis has not hit healthcare organizations involved in care giving. To be specific the demand for healthcare has not reduced as the disease burden remains to be...

America is undergoing a dramatic shift in healthcare. Actually, ten distinctly different shifts. Although the changes are unsettling, and will cause dislocations in our economy, the overall trends are positive and will help us all be healthier and wealthier when it all shakes out. Western Medicine Costs Continue to Rise It's hard to imagine, but the cost of going to a regular MD or hospital is going to get more and more expensive. This is not because doctors or hospitals are getting greedy, but instead because their own costs are rising every year. Health Insurance Opt-Outs Surge For many years, corporations and small businesses have provided health insurance as an employee benefit. Often, ...

Vijay Nadar  |  Argues in support of  "Micro Impact"  |  3 years ago
Microeconomics focuses more on basic theories of supply and demand and how businesses decide how much of something to produce and how much to charge for it. Micro is the basic level and all other economic theory gets built on top of it. Micro...
Vijay Mishra  |  Argues in support of  "Macro Impact"  |  3 years ago
Macroeconomics is flashier. It touches on GDP, inflation, unemployment and other things you read about in the newspaper. By itself macroeconomics is half of economics. It examines the economy in the large, focusing on feedback from one component...

Way back in 1897 William Faulkner said, “ I believe that man will not merely endure; he will prevail. He is immortal, not because he alone among the creatures has an inexhaustible voice, but because he has a soul, a spirit capable of kindness and compassion .” I’m not talking about anything new here; it’s just a reminder of what we all knew and seem to have forgotten. We seem to have been taken in by the sheer pace of things around us – the violence, the economy driven work culture, the information boom, etc etc – you know them all – and the media has only added up to the pace. We need to look around us. Where have all courtesies gone ? Been to a gathering lately ? This is a wake-up call , a reminder !! We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibres connect us with our fellow human beings; and along those fibres, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects . We need to re-learn to give; so that some of us eventually receive. It's the...

Which supplements should YOU take?   Many of us are seduced by the promise of better health and increased vitality offered by vitamin supplements.  But will taking supplements really make us healthier? Tom Sanders, Professor of Nutrition and Dietetics at King’s College London, says there is no ‘magic pill’ when it comes to nutrition, and as taking supplements often goes hand in hand with a healthy diet, it can be difficult to evaluate their benefits. Furthermore, nutrients from food are sometimes more readily absorbed and used by the body than those in a pill. Please find below the ultimate guide to the nutrients that are vital for good health... VITAMIN A VITAL FOR: Sight and bones, and to make ­infection-fighting white blood cells . Despite lab studies suggesting anti-cancer properties, there’s no evidence that A ­protects against tumours.
