First of all let us understand what exactly bribery means. It means to give somebody money or something valuable in order to persuade them to help you, especially by doing something dishonest.
How many of us know that informal, under the table payment happens between hospital, doctors, ambulance driver, pharmaceutical and medical supplies company?
If we come to know such outrageous things happen when we or our family members get sick and have to utilize hospital services. How would we feel? It would be like curse to be sick. Most of us might lose our temper too. Our expenses covers not only the charges for the service that we use but also the unfamiliar topics that you’ll never ever get to know about for what you are paying. Promotional expenses, advertisement expenses etc. are the terms that are used by hospitals or diagnostic centers to indicate such transaction, which is provided to the medical professional for the referral of the patient and the ambulance driver who makes delivery of that patient. It has become a trend to those private healthcare centers or specialized diagnostic service provider which require referral patients and have no direct flow of patients for the health care facilities like ICU care, surgeries, dialysis, abortion, diagnostic services etc. Till date also there exist many hospitals which are managed and run by medical professionals.
