The most expensive part of a hospital bill may never touch the hospital at all.

A patient admitted for care has no way of knowing whether the price on a medical consumable reflects its actual cost or a markup fixed long before it ever reached the ward. That gap in information is, at its core, a public health issue.

A survey of hospital consumables in Maharashtra found an IV infusion set with a trade price of ₹11.05 carrying a printed MRP of ₹325 ; a markup of 2,841%. A syringe procured at ₹6.75 carried an MRP of ₹57.20. A catheter procured at ₹29.41 carried an MRP of ₹310.

These are not elective purchases. Patients cannot compare prices, seek alternatives, or question a number printed on a box while receiving care and the MRP itself is often fixed upstream by manufacturers and distributors, disconnected from the trade price by a wide, unexplained margin. The result is a system where the party bearing the cost has the least information to evaluate it.

The regulatory gap is structural: scheduled medicines are capped under the Drugs (Prices Control) Order, 2013. Most medical devices and consumables are not leaving both the pricing and the information around it almost entirely unmonitored.

A review of these findings and clear guidelines on the permissible gap between trade procurement price and declared MRP have been recommended to the Department of Pharmaceuticals and the NPPA ; a step toward closing not just a pricing gap, but the information gap patients are left to bear alone.

Is Narendra Modi still mentally fit enough to be the prime minister of the country?

THE CEO OF THIS FRAUD COMPANY

[Chirantan Dutta @ChirantanDutt10]

@FURLENCO @FurlencoSupport Furlenco is the worst company ever to take any electronic products for rent.

They send you faulty products. They don't address your concerns on time and finally when you return the product, they harrass you.

[Chirantan Dutta @ChirantanDutt10]

Their retention team calls you to not return the product. I request for a pickup and uninstallation after a heated discussion, they send the pickup guys who come and say that the uninstallation is to be done by a different team.

In between there were mails, chat over customer service chatbox. There is nothing but Harrasment here.

Whoever is considering buying services from them, please don't. And whoever has brought it and are suffering like me, please let me know what my next steps should be.

[Chirantan Dutta @ChirantanDutt10]

The uninstallation team calls me and says they have recieved an installation request. The pickup is postponed. To reconfirm things, i call up their consumer service executive and she says that the money is not refundable.6 months of rent is not refundable.

@prosenjitbumba @narendramodi @MamataOfficial @swiggy_in @harshamjty @nandanreddy This is what is lack of common sense
When there is no electricity, you don't call the power minister or the ceo of cesc/wbseb.you call the local authority. Instead of tagging the ministers, why didn't you tag the ceo of swiggy? Would have made some sense.
