چكيده لاتين :
Health economists look towards health care sector as a market whereby there is a distinct demand and supply phenomenon
exists. Dearth of regulation of the doctors’ practices lead to inappropriate and unjustifiable demand for health care among
the patients. In developing and under-developed countries, this adverse practice may push a poor family into a vicious circle
of poverty and illness, especially where out of pocket expenditure on health is too high. Unnecessary prescriptions, prolonged
treatments and unjustified user fee grossly deprive the patient’s family financially. In developed countries, the
flourishing health care technology and sophisticated laboratory diagnostics could incur significant expenditure which is
sometimes even not covered under the insurance. State is the custodian of health care in any country; therefore, vigilant
regulation of the health care providers may curb the supplier induced demand through strict laws and policies.
