Expert, Jayshri Rangasamy, shared insights with Briefly News about patient affordability in private and public healthcare, saying:

"Private healthcare provides expedited access and advanced care but remains exclusive to those with medical insurance due to its premium costs. Meanwhile, public healthcare, though universally accessible, faces operational challenges including extended wait times and resource limitations stemming from budget constraints."

Rangasamy explained that this division often creates an unbalanced system because superior services are only available to those who can afford them, while the majority rely on the under-resourced public system.
