Episode 4 of Satyamev Jayate, a popular chat show hosted by Aamir Khan. After spreading awareness on Female Foeticide, Child Sexual Abuse and Dowry Harrasment, this week, the show deals with Malpractice of Doctors.
Of all the episodes so far, we loved this week’s episode the most. Some of the key points that the show put forward
- Atleast 6% of a country’s GDP should be spent on health care – India is spending just 1.4%
- Some doctors ask for more than 30% commission from pharmaceutical companies.
- In 2001, 31 government medical colleges and 106 private colleges were opened. The donation charged at some of the private institutions was around 60 lakhs for a medical seat!
- Shocking: About 65% of the Indian population can’t afford basic medicines.
- Another shocking fact: Medicines purchased from generic stores are much cheaper. For example, a branded diabetes medicine costs Rs 100+ per tablet, those purchased using generic names cost less than Rs 2 for 10 tablets!
Episode 4 Message : Rich or poor everyone deserves and should get the same kind of quality medical treatment.
This week’s question – Should every state government follow the example of Rajasthan and open generic medicine stores throughout their state, so that all citizens can get medicines at the lowest possible price.

Synopsis: People trust medical practitioners, believing that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to safeguard their health. But when this knowledge is misused to exploit this trust, medical care becomes a nightmare. The profession is riddled with unscrupulous doctors and hospitals out to make big bucks at the cost of patients, but there are still medical practitioners who stand up for the Hippocratic Oath, and those who want to clean up the profession.

With the pathetic condition the country is in with the enormous rate of corruption, we all need this sort of shows that will contribute in bringing about change in India. Aamir Khan doing a fantastic and superb job! …Satyamev Jayate!!
Amir Sir,You r really a GREAT,Mal Practice of Doctors programme touch my heart,
this show exposed the hypocratic doctors very well.this is the situation of healthcare system in india.even then indian medical association the regulatory body of medical education and profession in india wants aamir khans apology?this means such a bitter truth is not digestable according to ima and our bloody indian central and state government bodies,a person who point out the bitter truth must be apologised,this is our indian policy,i personnally request aamir please dont say any apology,whatever you did and exposed in your show is right,the same thing is going on throughout india,no one is opposing,instead of apology please expose more such things to common public ,it is a black spot on our principle vaidyo-naarayano-hari.hats off to you aamir,just keep on going strong,thank you
Every time I come to India, being an educator, i visit schools and colleges and talk about individual responsiibility and social awareness. Amir, your show is a great inspiration to me and, although I can touch very few hearts and minds, I will continue in my efforts as your message needs to be shared and carried forward by each one of us. Bless you, rani. x
