The rapport of a doctor with his patient - Is it at its nadir?
Journal Title: The Journal of Community Health Management - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
India is the seventh largest country as per the geographical area, and is the 2nd most populous country after China. Since independence in 1947, there is development in every field in India and so is in the health sector. Health care is an important aspect for every country and health is a basic right of all human being (Alma Ata Declaration, 1978). (1,2) Health infrastructure can be described as back bone of a nation because an unhealthy nation faces a lot of trouble especially financially. Medicine is considered to be a noble profession since ages. Many of times doctors are described ‘After God”, but scenario is changing now. Unfortunately rapport or relationship between doctor and a patient is degrading.
