The healthcare centers are like a ticking time bomb in our society, many die because of lack of equipments and doctors work half heartedly because many are underpaid. There are like a thousand wrongs going on in hospitals today.
I've not had much visit to the hospital for personal medication or treatment but the times I had to work in a medical laboratory, I learnt a lot about how backward things are with their equipment and how badly medical results can be.
Even now that there are high level technological equipments that would foster good medical services to the publick are available, it will take so much time for things like this to be made available in our hospitals and society need them.
Imagine an hospital having all the equipments available, happy doctors who are well paid for what they love to do (saving lives), sick patients getting better quickly and paying less for all the medical services... It is a dream yet to happen.
Will it ever happen? Maybe we shouldn't dream so big in a society where even the most littliest of things needed in medical places are not put in place for smooth run of them and keep more people healthy. So it's wise to fight for that first.
One time I visited an hospital for a severe pain, I stayed at a ward till the next morning without any attention from all the medical practitioners around. If it were something that could kill someone, I'd be long gone and they'll charge pay.
The prompt question is asking if strike would be the best resort to resolve this big issue of medical centres being neglected and underfunded. I'd say we as the citizens, the medical personnels should have the mind first.
The mind to want to actually save lives, with pay or no pay. I don't see why innocent and dying patients should suffer because the doctors are not paid well. It's almost like they are on the strike already with the kind of attitude they show.
Strike is not the right resolve because that is like asking high rate of death and prolonged needed medical treatment to serious illnesses. Chemists may not join the strike but they can't do all what hospitals or health centres can do for sick ones.
The Government I know can actually not do anything about a strike no matter how long it takes, not even minding if the strike is taking the lives of people. I feel deciding a strike, medical practitioners are not considering sick patients.
It's quite understandable that it can be draining to just keep working with no pay or at least even good equipments to work and show good results to the society, it is exhausting but there should be other solutions aside strike that I don't know now.
I'm not so conversant with how the real issues health centers are faced with on the inside but it would really go a long way if the Government make it a priority to help these centres do more for the society. Until then, strike isn't the option.
