Abstract
Modern day medicine has improved life expectancy and health of populations in general.1 This is a matter of great satisfaction, for those involved in this great achievement of the last century. Technological advancement and development of new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities, has opened options for better health care intervention, leading to better health outcomes. It is unfortunate, that options for improved health care interventions and better health outcomes have come at a cost that countries, communities and families are finding increasingly difficult to utilize. Rationing of certain services is being recommended.
