Facts:
- Avoid catching deadly hospital infections by
minimizing visits to hospitals or
clinics: Hospitals are a necessity and serve an
important, sometimes life saving function. However they have their own
issues. Today
hospitals are grappling with strong bugs found in their premises that
can infect a patient and are very difficult to treat. A person could go to a hospital for one problem
but end up contracting a hospital infection. You may also be shocked
to know that thousands of
patients actually die of hospital infections, not just in India but
also advanced countries like the US and the UK. Doctors cleverly
disguise the truth by calling these hospital caused diseases
'Nosocomial diseases". So the next time you hear this word, beware, it
is something that you did not ask for and could pay for with
your life. Therefore, where ever possible, go in for domiciliary
(Home) treatment and keep hospital visits to a minimum. Here are some
articles from the US and UK which will reveal the horrifying truth. If
you plan to go to a hospital for admission please do not forget to
read this important article on how to
protect yourself.

- The Killer within: Rajat Kumar, a two-year-old boy, was admitted
to a leading hospital in the capital for meningitis of the brain. A
shunt, essentially a plastic valve meant to drain out the fluid from
the brain, was inserted into his cranial cavity. Within two days,
instead of him showing signs of improvement, the wound became septic
and the infection spread to other parts of the body. Despite the best
efforts of the medical team that rushed Kumar to ICU, peritonitis (pus
in the abdominal cavity) set in. Kumar died last week after battling
the infection for a fortnight.

- Cost saving from home care:
A membership with us will, logically, save you money. Here is
how it goes. A single hospital admission today, even for a simple
illness can cost any where between 20 to 50 thousand rupees. Imagine
if, God forbid, you need two hospital admissions in a year between all
of you. That's a massive 40,000 to 1,00,000 per year. This is not
taking into consideration the worry, inconvenience and disruption of
your life style. So does it not make sense to strive for a healthy life
by spending
a small amount per person per month? See this as a Proactive
Health Insurance.
We could go on and on but I think
