Dr Sydney Shahid MD

Dr shahid lived in USA for 25 years.During that time he had assignments in many medical fields. Mostly his work was devoted to combined family practice & Psychiatry ( known as Holistic Medicine ).

During his stay in USA, Dr Shahid was disillusioned by the way Medicine was practised in USA. He noticed that access to Medical treatment was directly proportion to the ability of the patient to pay. In other words the availability of the best medical facilities, highly trained physicians & the latest technology in the field was only possible if patient's pocket could afford it.

This was contrary to Dr Shahid's belief. He likes patients to be treated irrespective of their capacity to pay.This kind of benevolence is nonexistent in USA.

Dr Shahid, therefore, joined World Health Mission to help the poor. He obtained a Diploma in Tropical diseases from London & travelled all over the world, mainly in third world countries, where Tropical illnesses abound.

While travelling all across the continents, Dr Shahid found that the epidemic of " inaccessibility to medical treatment " ( if one cannot afford it ), was not just prevalent in USA. It was all over the world. It was a kind of pandemic which has never been addressed before. Dr Shahid wondered why WHO ( who suppose to take care of World's Health problems ) had never thought of it.

Every day thousands of people are dying in the world, not because of the medical illness, but because of the lack of affordability to pay for its treatment. On top of this everyday the cost of medical treatment is getting higher & higher. It has already reached to almost astronomical proportion. Which means poor just cannot afford it.

What should be the solution??
