Let us always pity the drivers and extend our helping hands like passing the fare in h has no conductor,

The least that we can do when we touched those kind of hands is not to mind at all and don’t make any facial expression that may show disgust.

Why would we be disgusted, when rough hands shows that the person is an industrious and hard working one. He got those from constant working in the case of the driver from constantly steering the wheels of his car and sometimes helping carry some baggages of passengers into his car.

Let us help those people be dignified in their work, by not minding at all that their hands are rough, when we receive our fares.

Well, my hand are also a bit dry. That’s because I am fond of washing my hand every now and then, even if I am always working on my computer.

It means I am a hard worker too. 🙂

@Dina, there are hypocrites,pretentious feeling they are rich and feeling the person as dirty.That is why I do not consider students’ excuses just to let them pass for that driver has son in college that is why he said he works evening and day.

Time is really a great teacher. When we were young, we do not care about anything and everything, but as time passes, we mature and then we learn a lot in life. We learn to value relationships, we learn to hope for a bright future, we hope for a better life when we became so old and retire. By then we wish that time would be longer for us, to have longer life on earth. We wish for more time!

Well I believe that while the Healthcare in countries of Scandinavia- Denmark, Sweden etc is very good and due to lesser population, its fully Government funded, well maintained and affordable.
Yet in US, UK etc, its costly but still accessible.

As for India, it is accessible for those with deep pockets, but still it hurts.
For Middle class- a big disease means, years of hard work and saved money gone for a six.
For rest- well it is a miserable state to be in.
Govt. hospitals and clinics are mostly pathetic, and if someone falls seriously ill, its only a Godly intervention that can save them.

And many countries are even worse than India, some have almost non-existent healthcare.

What we need is more citizen-to-citizens and NGOs to NGOs collaboration across the globe.
And Governments must be made accountable for Healthcare.

Else, demolish all the Govt. hospitals and hand them over to citizens cooperatives who can perhaps run them better.

And Technology can play a better role, in form of Telemedicine, Employee Health Records(EHR), rationalization of expenses in private and public hospitals.
I have a lot to say, but as of now I think the citizens must get united and have more say in how Healthcare services are there in a country.

At least in our country,Philippines, the government gives every poor citizen free hospitalization in public hospitals; or they are enrolled in medical insurance or Philhealth which they can use even in private hospitals. Though in some areas, there are poor medical services like lack of good hospitals that are equipped with good facilities and manned by good doctors or medical staff.

One of the problems here is that many health professionals like doctors, nurses, etc. leave the country for abroad to work there for higher wages.
