Affordable healthcare

The feverish zeal with which ordinary citizens embraced dubious, and clearly unscientific, health props proves that they are disillusioned with the prevalent medical system.

It shows that the healthcare system has failed to deliver, leading many to seek inexpensive alternatives to formal treatment.

This is not to say State-run hospitals or community clinics are professionally mismanaged or incompetent. These medical institutions still employ the cream of healthcare professionals and have the most up-to-date equipment at their disposal.
