The
vast majority of the working middle class is caught in the
middle. They look for affordable quality health care provided
with compassion, dignity and accountability for which a community
supported no-profit no-loss modern private hospital , like
Indus, with social responsibility towards the less fortunate
segment of our society, is the only answer. At Indus Hospital,
genuinely poor patients are treated free of cost to the extent
of twenty-five (25) percent of bed occupancy. However, others
must reimburse the Hospital in order to meet the costs of
running, maintenance , expansion and world-class standards
of health care.

care
provided with human dignity and compassion in a safe
and comfortable setting which is conducive for healing
of the body and the mind. Modern high technology health
care, delivered through investor owned corporate proprietary
hospitals in a developing country, like India, is affordable
to a select segment of the affluent urban population
only. Such hospitals have an obligation to produce financial
returns on the investment of the owners by levying exorbitant
charges for services. On the other end of the spectrum,
the poor and the indigent are left to the mercy of quacks
or socialized government owned hospitals where health
care is delivered, partly , as a charity without any
considerations to the quality of care or accountability
on the part of the providers.
