Medicalization of life as applied in a depoliticized society would be extremely dangeroussince it tends to create potential medical mal practice in the part of medical doctors towards their patients. To avoid this, repolitization of the society should be created to raise community's critical awareness in understanding the political economy of the medical world in the society. In order to provide equal access to health care, repolitization is a prerequisite in response to medical industrialization and privatization of health care services.
