The Indian government
has a Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, which is supposed to help citizens
to plan their families. The government is the largest health care provider, and
we pay taxes so that they can provide us with healthcare services.
While the
government provides a lot of free family planning ( FP) services, such as
contraception , pregnancy termination and tubal ligation, family welfare
doesn't just mean limiting the size of the family. It also means helping
infertile couples who don't have a baby to have deeply loved babies – these will
make great citizens for our country .
This is why
the department should offer free IVF treatment in government hospitals for poor
patients who can't afford IVF treatment in private hospitals.
This will
be good for patients, lots of whom are citizens who pay their taxes. It will
also be very good for government hospitals , who can do medical research in
this field, to develop new low cost ways and innovative ways of treating infertile
Indian patients. Let’s not forget their junior doctors also need training in
how to do IVF when they graduate as MD gynecologists, so this is a win win for
everyone !
